The side effect I noticed when I shaved my head is that men could hear the words coming out of my mouth for the first time. The longer my hair is, the less powerful I feel. If they didn’t want to fuck me, they wouldn’t hire me. Then when I was in Hollywood, they told me I had to have long hair otherwise the men wouldn’t want to fuck me. Ultimately, why would you want to live a life that angry? Why would you want to live that way?

I was at a dinner with my ex-boyfriend, who is black, and a guy at dinner said: “I wish it was the 1950s again”. They’re terrified of change, they’re terrified of others, they’re terrified of losing this idea of superiority. I found it really dangerous and hard to adjust to. When you cross stupidity with fear, that’s a really dangerous mix. He instils fear of others in people – that’s brainwashing. Especially now with Trump, he repeats the same things – that’s brainwashing. This cult-like way of thinking is exactly like the cult I grew up in. But they continue with this mass conformity and cult-like way of thinking. This idea that America is number one and each man there is number one and superior – that’s a load of bullshit everybody knows it.

We should aim to be happy with ourselves instead of buying into the fear paradigm – which is only going to place us at odds with each other.

We can still look at other perspectives and different points of view and try to understand ourselves. But I still think, like any great woman, we can all be better. Ask yourself: “In any given situation, what would the better version of myself do?” And then act like that until it becomes second nature. So I would imagine the 10% better version of myself and imitate that until it became real.

When I was homeless, I was 13 and I had nobody raising me and I didn’t know how to grow up. The media has pitted us against each other for so long because the media is controlled and dominated by an older set of men. So much of the dialogue about gender, to me, is missing the human point. How can you not help but have an inner rage? They do the same thing to girls, in a totally different way, but for men so much gets repressed so you can be the idea of what a man is supposed to be. Boys get stolen really early and put in this tight-fitting jacket – ‘here’s what you can be’ and ‘here’s what you are’. If we could get back to understanding that we’re human before we’re a gender then we could solve a lot of problems. My heart breaks for boys when I see them being moulded into men. We all know it’s built on lies.” – Rose McGowan for Hunger Magazine, on the future of gender. None of the rules are real – it’s all an illusion. But I hope, before they give up fighting, they will see that they themselves can be different and no one has to live according to any invisible rules. Probably most of the older generation will give up. And we’re going to see older people fighting it more and more. “ I think gender is going to keep getting broken down more and more. Rose talked exclusively with Hunger Magazine about masculinity, gender, the cult of America, and the power of short hair.
