Lady Gaga: 'I'm certainly a feminist'Lady Gaga has put her feet firmly in the feminist camp. The singer told The Times that she views feminism as a movement which recognises that women are "ambitious" people. As a result, she "certainly" sees herself as a feminist. The US star said: "It's very hard, this business, and there are a lot of sharks. I wish to set a good example. That's why I'm so honest, because I don't want to give this impression that this was handed to me on a silver platter. "It was certainly not like that...I'm certainly a feminist. A feminist to me is somebody that wishes to protect the integrity of women who are ambitious. A feminist in my opinion is somebody that regards that women have strong intelligence and wisdom. That we are just as great as men - and some of us can be even better." "I experienced a lot...I had really awful experiences with men in the studio. Made me very uncomfortable. I didn’t feel like I was being cherished for my vocal talents, but [was] seen more as someone to take advantage of." The 'Applause' star added that men have tried to 'physically take advantage' of her in certain situations. Follow us: @Pressparty on Twitter / Pressparty on Facebook.
