Evangeline Lilly Instagram – “I think that we run an incredible risk, in the current wave if feminism, of sending the message to women and girls that if you want to be powerful then you should act and present in a masculine way. ‘You should be tough, you should be hard, you should take no prisoners’; all these really toxic stereotypes of what it means to be strong. I think that there is an incredible amount if strength in quintessentially female qualities of compassion and vulnerability and sensitivity, and that it’s okay to be a girl who wants to be soft. That doesn’t make you weak and that doesn’t make you lame. That’s really important to me… Little girls should not be asked to abandon their femininity in order to be powerful.”
