It’s sad this is still an issue…
Marina Diamandis, known to many by her stage name Marina and The Diamonds, is on the new cover of Nylon magazine, but rather than just be happy she seems ready to throw down the gauntlet!

Nylon‘s cover labels Marina as “the sound of feminism now,” and no wonder — because she took the opportunity to vent some very real frustration on Twitter!
First, she tweeted the cover of the issue:
Feminism. 💘 pic.twitter.com/zUyWfGAbQS

Then she wrote:
Do you really want me to ├░┼╕ΓÇ£┬¥ a ├░┼╕ΓÇÖ┬ü anthem? I’m ├░┼╕╦£ΓÇ╣ cooking ├░┼╕┬ì┬¥ in the kitchen for my ├░┼╕ΓÇÿ┬¿

We’ll translate those emojis based on the lyrics to her song Can’t Pin Me Down to:
“Do you really want me to write a feminist anthem? I’m happy cooking dinner in the kitchen for my husband”
She may be tough to “pin down” but right now she’s letting her fans know exactly where she stands!
She continued by tweeting the following NSFW sentiments:
2015: “Are you a feminist?” Me: “Is that a real fucking question?”

The fact that women still aren’t paid the same as men & it’s 2015 just blows. My fucking. Mind. It’s absolutely insane.

I’m happy cooking dinner just as I’m happy getting equal rights https://t.co/nL6hO3uCCN

Preach, sister!
We’re with you, Marina! We hope one day — sooner rather than later — gender inequality won’t be even be enough of an issue to need a magazine cover!
