Hilary Duff responding to body shamers:

“I am posting this on behalf of young girls, women, and mothers of all ages. I’m enjoying a vacation with my son after a long season of shooting and being away from him for weeks at a time over those months. Since websites and magazines love to share “celeb flaws” — well, I have them! My body has given me the greatest gift of my life: Luca, 5 years ago. I’m turning 30 in September, and my body is healthy and gets me where I need to go. Ladies, let’s be proud of what we’ve got and stop wasting precious time in the day wishing we were different, better, and unflawed. You guys (you know who you are!) already know how to ruin a good time, and now you are body shamers as well."

Emma Watson explaining why being a feminist doesn’t limit your fashion choices:

"Feminism is about giving women choice. Feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women with. It’s about freedom, it’s about liberation, it’s about equality. I really don’t know what my tits have to do with it."

James Blunt perfectly describing his target audience:

Lena Dunham revealing her wear-at-home clothing:

"It’s only important to me that people know as they’re busy tweeting bullshit about me I’m most often dressed in a latex suit and crystal crown working from home on imagining new worlds."

Zach Braff replying to criticism of being photogenic:

Gabby Sidibe explaining how much haters’ opinions mean to her:

Taylor Swift shutting down sexist music critics:

"You’re going to have people who are going to say, ’Oh, you know like, she just writes songs about her ex-boyfriends,’ and I think frankly that’s a very sexist angle to take. No one says that about Ed Sheeran. No one says it about Bruno Mars. They’re all writing songs about their exes, their current girlfriends, their love life, and no one raises a red flag there."

Gigi Hadid answering the message about her personal life and its connection to her runway walk:

Lorde speculating on the future of her dance choreography:

Ariana Grande answering the accusation of not being sexy enough:

11

"Sigh...tweets, comments, statements like this are not okay about anyone!!! We live in a day and age where people make it IMPOSSIBLE for women, men, anyone to embrace themselves exactly how they are. Diversity is sexy! Loving yourself is sexy! You know what is NOT sexy? Misogyny, objectifying, labeling, comparing, and body shaming!!! Talking about people’s bodies as if they’re on display ASKING for your approval/opinion. THEY ARE NOT!!!! CELEBRATE YOURSELF. CELEBRATE OTHERS. The things that make us different from one another make us BEAUTIFUL. BODY BOUNDARIES. LOVE LOVE LOVE ONLY."

Demi Lovato replying to the critics of her song "Cool for the Summer":
