In a recent Guardian interview, Juno star and self-proclaimed feminist Ellen Page talks about her role in Whip It (a flick directed by Drew Barrymore that’s all about kicking ass and female empowerment) among a whole lotta other feminist awesomeness that just makes me love her all the more. A highlight:
I am a feminist and I am totally pro-choice, but what’s funny is when you say that people assume that you are pro-abortion. I don’t love abortion but I want women to be able to choose and I don’t want white dudes in an office being able to make laws on things like this. I mean what are we going to do – go back to clothes hangers?
Heart.

Love, love, LOVE Ellen Page.
I love Ellen Page so hard. Celebrity crush, anyone?
But really, who doesn’t *heart* talented, intelligent young feminists?
I wonder if she and Nostalgia Chick (Lindsey Ellis) are the same woman. They both AWESOME
I had no idea she was a feminist. I’ll definitely be supporting her work from now on!
Honestly, why must every pro-choice person make apologies for abortion? What is wrong with being pro-abortion?
What is “pro-abortion”?
