As outlined by Us Weekly, Harry Styles is a feminist, loud and clear. He has shown his support for women and the feminist movement on several occasions, including the time when he was spotted wearing a t-shirt with the slogan "Women are smarter" (via Harper's Bazaar).
In a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone, Styles also spoke candidly about how cool he thought his female fans were (per Us Weekly), stating, "How can you say young girls don't get it? They're our future. Our future doctors, lawyers, mothers, presidents, they kind of keep the world going." He also revealed that he appreciated having a large female fanbase, sharing, "teenage-girl fans — they don't lie. If they like you, they're there. They don't act "too cool." They like you, and they tell you. Which is sick."
It isn't just feminism in general, either, as Styles has been known to shut down demeaning questions about women. During an interview with hosts Jackie O and Kyle Sandilands on Australian radio station KIIS, Sandilands tried to corner Styles by referring to his playboy image and the stereotype of women fighting over him (via Capital FM). However, Styles shut the line of questioning immediately down by saying: "No, I just don't do that, I'm sorry." Though succinct, Styles' response shows his respect for the women in his life and for his fans.
