Celebrities who support feminism from Beyonce to John Legend, here are people who use the ' F ' word and they call themselves Feminist's.

Actor Emma Watson explained the connection between feminism and romance to Vogue, saying that because the movement is becoming stronger, society has to redefine romance as well.

“I’m a feminist, but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering, encompassing love -- and it being more important and special than anything and everything else. I would love to not date someone in the same industry as me. Otherwise it becomes what it means to everyone else."

While raising money for Chime for Change, a charity that raises funds to improve the lives of women worldwide, the singer declared that all men should be feminists.

"All men should be feminists. If men care about women's rights, the world will be a better place. We are better off when women are empowered -- it leads to a better society."

John Legend

Gordon-Levitt learned gender equality at a young age. When Ellen DeGeneres asked him if he was a feminist, he said, "I do call myself a feminist. Absolutely!"

"We would always watch Lakers games as a family, but my mom would always point out every time the cheerleaders came on, 'OK, so look, here's the story that gets told: The men get to be the heroic skilled athletes and the women just get to be pretty. She wanted me and my brother to be aware of it because we see these images on TV, in the movies, and in magazines all the time. And if you don't stop and think about it, it just sort of seeps into your brain and that becomes the way you perceive reality."
