Sarah Jessica
Parker: ‘I Am Not a Feminist’
by Jerome Hudson 5 Aug 2016
In an entertainment industry seemingly fixated on
pro-feminist sensibilities, actress and fashion icon Sarah Jessica Parker, in a recent cover story
interview with Marie Claire, declared that she is
not a feminist.
“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,” the former Sex and the
City star told the
fashion magazine.
“I’m so tired of separation,” she added. “I just want
people to be treated equally.”
When asked about the so-called wage gap between men and
women, Parker said she wants to see people paid whatever they are worth.
“I would like all of that nonsense to end,” the
51-year-old star said. “I would like women to get paid for the value of their
contributions, not by old-fashioned ideas about gender.”
Parker’s comments came after President Obama penned a 1,500-word essay this
week in which he declared that he is a feminist and urged all men across
the country to join him in branding themselves the same.
“It’s important that their dad is a feminist, because now
that’s what they expect of all men,” Obama wrote. “The progress we’ve made in
the past 100 years, 50 years, and, yes, even the past eight years has made life
significantly better for my daughters than it was for my grandmothers. And I
say that not just as President but also as a feminist.”
This is not new territory for SJP, who will next appear
in the new HBO series Divorce; five years ago, Parker revealed in
an interview that she is “not a feminist,” but a “humanist.”
“I’m the beneficiary of all the work my mother’s
generation did,” the mother-of-three told the
Telegraph in 2011. “They did all the grunt work and handed us
this world view. We were raised to think we could have it all, but there’s some
reality that rears its head.”
Parker added: “So what you decide is ‘I’ll die trying,’
but try to be realistic about what can happen, day to day. I took a page from
Wendy Wasserstein’s book. She said ‘I’m not a feminist, I’m a humanist.'”
