This five-year-old feminist has a message for boys around the world
Eva might only be five, but she has a message for boys all over the world — they're no better than her, just the same.
The five-year-old stars in the Channel 4 show The Secret Life of 5 Year Olds and her views on feminism and gender equality have not only been heard, but The Secret Life of 5 Year Olds .
Eva believes it's extremely important for women to work and vote, because the women before them fought so hard for these rights.
And when it comes to boys in the schoolyard questioning her worth or strength, Eva is quick to put them in their place. When her five-year-old peer, Jude, said girls can't be scientists "because they make silly potions" Eva quipped, "I extracted the DNA from a banana once".
In the program, the young feminist taught Jude some of her karate moves which soon had the young boy backing away from any preconceived views about Eva.
"She was very tough and very strong, like The Hulk," Jude said on the show.
In the end, for Eva, it's all very simple: "Boys aren't better than girls. They're exactly the same."
And she's certainly walking the walk.
