Sarah Jessica Parker on Feminism: 'I Am Not a Feminist'

Sarah Jessica Parker takes the cover of Marie Claire magazine’s September 2016 issue, on newsstands August 16.

Here’s what the Divorce star had to share with the mag:

On the gender pay gap:
“I would like all of that nonsense to end. I would like women to get paid for the value of their contributions, not by old-fashioned ideas about gender.”

On marriage and divorce: “For me, it’s really the investment in the other person. And it’s the expectations you have. They change and you get smarter, and maybe you think those expectations aren’t worth striving for with this person, and that’s when people bail.”

On being a feminist: “I am not a feminist. I don’t think I qualify. I believe in women and I believe in equality, but I think there is so much that needs to be done that I don’t even want to separate it anymore. I’m so tired of separation. I just want people to be treated equally.”
