Joseph Gordon-Levitt has identified himself as a feminist on multiple occasions. This month, he released a video on the topic and told The Daily Beast why he disagrees with modern-day arguments against feminism:
"There are some people who say we don't need feminism anymore because women and men are now treated equally, and I don't think that's true. We've come a long way since the term was coined and women weren't allowed to vote or own property in this country, but that doesn't mean it's a simple black-and-white issue. There's a lot to talk about, and it's a more nuanced conversation now than it was then, and that's all the more reason for us to be having these conversations. There are still plenty of tensions and unfair situations that arise more so for women than for men."
