Miranda July is a feminist, doesn’t understand why that’s confusing.

Hilary Duff may have a problem saying she’s a feminist, but artist, film maker, writer and the all around fabulous Miranda July does not. How do I love her? Let me count the ways…

BUST MAGAZINE: Do you consider yourself a feminist?

MIRANDA JULY: Yes.

BUST: That’s so nice to hear. There are a lot of women who don’t want to associate with the word anymore. Why do you think that is?

MJ: Whenever I see people have a long answer to that question, I’m just like, “What’s confusing about that?” It’s just being pro your ability to do what you need to do [laughs].

(By the way, she just won the Frank O’Connor Prize for Short Fiction cause she’s so awesome.)
