Sarah Jessica Parker Is 'Not A Feminist'

We always groan when we hear a celebrity stating that they're "not a feminist". After all, equal rights for men and women sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

So we were surprised to hear that Sarah Jessica Parker, aka Carrie Bradshaw herself, had told US Cosmopolitan that she didn't want to label herself a feminist.

But Parker wants you to hear her out: she may not be a feminist, but she considers herself a 'humanist'.

"I'm enormously appreciative of the work that my mother's generation did," Parker told the magazine. "We are the beneficiaries of a lot of disappointment, heartache, discouragement, and misunderstanding. I see a lot of people trying to sort out their roles. People of colour, gays, lesbians, and transgenders who are carving out this space.

"I'm not spitting in the face or being lazy about what still needs to be done - but I don't think it's just women anymore. We would be so enormously powerful if it were a humanist movement."

However, Parker states that she considers pay equality and child care key political issues. "If I could guarantee every mother who is working two, three jobs that she had good child care that didn't make her anxious all day," she tells Cosmopolitan, "people would probably work in more efficient ways."

We're beginning to wonder if Parker has looked up the definition of feminism lately...
