In what may or may not become an annual tradition, Sarah Jessica Parker crawled out of hibernation to remind us that she is not a feminist—but the real disappointment here is that she didn’t even have the courtesy to dust off her old Sanderson Sisters drag and opine in song while flying around on an old mop.
In a recent interview with Marie Claire. the actress more or less reiterated sentiments she expressed in a piece in Cosmopolitan last year—namely, that she prefers to call herself a “humanist,” and also maybe isn’t entirely sure what feminism is, exactly?
As the former Sex and the City star rehashed into an echoing cosmic ether of dubious relevancy:
“I am not a feminist. I don’t think I qualify. I believe in women and I believe in equality, but I think there is so much that needs to be done that I don’t even want to separate it anymore. I’m so tired of separation. I just want people to be treated equally.”
In true form, she then followed up with this sound byte:
“I would like all of that nonsense to end. I would like women to get paid for the value of their contributions, not by old-fashioned ideas about gender.”
Is this giving you a headache like it’s giving me a headache? Is this actually some sort of code? I think that the Illuminati might be real, guys? Where is Bette Midler to make this all okay?
