Lily Allen: 'Feminism shouldn't even be a thing anymore'
Quote:
Lily Allen has said she does not think feminism should be an issue in 2014, stating that "everyone is equal" in the modern world.

Allen, who will release new album 'Sheezus' later this year, made the comments as part of her role as guest editor of mens magazine Shortlist's 'How To Be A Man' issue. Speaking about a song on her forthcoming album, which tackles the way she believes women behave towards one another, Allen says that women are their own "worst enemy."

"Feminism. I hate that word because it shouldn't even be a thing anymore," she said. "We're all equal, everyone is equal. Why is there even a conversation about feminism? What's the man version of feminism? There isn't even a word for it. Menanism. Male-ism. It doesn't exist."

Speaking about the problems facing women more generally, Allen continues and expresses her theory about who the real "enemy" is: "It's much the same [as it used to be]. But I don't think men are the enemy. I think women are the enemy. I know that when I'm sitting in a restaurant and a really beautiful woman walks in, who’s skinny, I instinctively think, 'Oh, she's really skinny and beautiful and I’m really fat and ugly.' So it's more of a competitive thing. It's weird. It's just really unhealthy and we're our own worst enemy."

Allen recently revealed that she is worried Kanye West will call her out on the title of her forthcoming album 'Sheezus'. The singer, who won Best Solo Artist at last week's NME Awards With Austin, Texas, named her third album as an homage to the rapper, who released his album 'Yeezus' last year.

Allen released two singles last year, a cover of Keane's 'Somewhere Only We Know', which featured on a TV advert, and 'Hard Out Here'. She recently followed it up with 'Air Balloon' but still hasn't announced when her third album, her first since 2009's 'It's Not Me, It's You', will be released.

So true, equality shouldn't even be labelled if its truly equal why brand it with a different name?

Love this woman.

People only like her because she makes sarcastic music. She can barely sing, she's a comedian pretending to be a musician. In the past, while her stuff has never been to my taste (as I like actual singers) I can appreciate that she's witty and her songs were cleverly written - but so far she's cashed in on a Keane song for an ad campaign, released a lead single that lazily made fun of people and a second single that's been completely underwhelming and she's, despite currently promoting it, openly admitted that she doesn't even like it! If she doesn't care about her music and is being so blatantly obvious about the fact this is just for the money (remember she declared her 'retirement' from music a couple of years ago? Yeah right...) then why should we, the audience, bother to care?

Don't agree with the top line, I like every song on It's Not Me, It's You and most haven't got much to do with sarcasm, they are just cleverly written songs. I wouldn't say she cashed in on a Keane song, she was approached and she took it (who wouldn't? It's the biggest advert of the year). HOH didn't perhaps match the other peaks of her career but was a nice enough track and Air Ballon is bloody catchy, and even I didn't like it at first. You're not goimg to care, and quite right, because nobody cares for music which isn't to their taste.

I thought you said she was witty and her songs were cleverly written?

I love how honest she is, admitting she gets jealous over attractive women is not something most women would own up to and shes an extremely intelligent girl.

I think everyone would like to have Lily as a friend.

She didn't cash in on Keane either she recorded it about 5 years ago for Radio 1 live lounge and John Lewis wanted to use it, whats the problem with that?

You've literally based that on one song out of the four tracks that have been previewed so far, hardly the album campaign.

Also her comeback has produced 3 consecutive top 10's which is something Lily has never achieved before.

And surely, if she is indeed a comedian pretending to be a musician, that makes her all the more clever for being able to sell her music to millions in the first place?

She literally is someone im proud of when I see her performing to huge crowds in America, allways cool to have a funny cool as **** chick to represent Britain.
