I think that attitude is really crucial for a model.
Emily Ratajkowski

I never said I'm not a feminist! I wrote one column where I was being sarcastic, and I called myself a 'wombist'. Now which sane person would say that 'wombist' is a better term than feminist?

Look over here! There are enough people who like my stuff." And it sorta has seemed to be true.
