Paramore frontwoman Haley Williams has spoken out in support of Chvrches singer Lauren Mayberry’s online stand against misogyny.

Earlier this month, Mayberry made the statements in The Guardian that revealed her anger at the misogyny directed at her from men on the internet. She said: "What I do not accept, however, is that it is all right for people to make comments ranging from "a bit sexist but generally harmless" to openly sexually aggressive. That it is something that "just happens". Is the casual objectification of women so commonplace that we should all just suck it up, roll over and accept defeat? I hope not. Objectification, whatever its form, is not something anyone should have to "just deal with".

The ‘Still Into You’ singer Hayley Williams also mentioned Lorde’s recent comments about pressure to appear a certain way. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Williams said: "I loved Lauren's and Lorde's posts. I think it's really cool that there's so many rad girls and older women in music. There's a lot of people that have different points of view and it's nice to see people coming together and being honest about something that matters and should be talked about. I'm so excited to see this stuff surfacing because it's real."

"When I was 16 and we started touring, I looked like a 12-year-old boy with no makeup, sports bra, one of the guys' shirts, and I'd wear the same pair of jeans for a month straight,” she added. “I never showered and was gross and guys that were probably a good 10 years older than me harassed me. I remember playing North Star Bar [in Philadelphia] and this guy yelled ‘take off your shirt!’ probably 10 times. It had happened a couple of times at this point but this guy was super aggressive about it. By the fifth or sixth time, I realised that I'm the one with the microphone. I've got power here. I don't have to be quiet."
