Gay feminist student's yearbook quote goes viral
HESPERIA, Calif. — A California high school senior dropped the mic with her yearbook quote.
Caitlyn Cannon, 17, hit quite a few hot topics including, gay rights, feminism and the wage gap in a single quote.
Her friend, Twitter user, @casualnosebleed tweeted out a photo of the yearbook Tuesday morning. Since then it has been retweeted more than 6,000 time and favorited more than 9,000 times.
In the quote Cannon said, "I need feminism because I intend on marrying rich and I can't do that if my wife and I are making .75 cent for every dollar a man makes."
Cannon told the Huffington Post she was inspired by a Tumblr post but tweaked it to match her identity.
"I was tired of seeing the same old quotes from popular books and movies and authors, and I wanted to call attention to a problem that women face," she told the Huffington Post.
The quote has inspired quite a bit of feedback, but Cannon said most of it has been positive.
