Hayley Williams says she is accepting her role as a "powerful female" by appearing on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine this month. She wrote on her blog, "Let's be freaks": "as much as i tell myself i don't care and i wear whatever i want... there will always be those moments when i'm at the check out line at target and i see some gorgeous person on the cover of any ol rag... and i'm like "ugh, is that how it's gotta be!?" only to realize that... next month, that girl on the cover is gonna be me. WHAT A HYPOCRITE RIGHT?!?! noooo. here's the thing. my #1 goal when the band began was to make myself invisible. not only did i not want to be the focal point, i wanted to be UNSEEN! and honestly, it never made a difference. all 3 of us in Paramore have our own roles. and finally i will accept mine. i'm going to be okay with being a "powerful female". and if that's what it is... i'm going to use that role to make a difference."You know what I say, Hayley? Stop justifying yourself to people. If someone's got a problem with you using the word "God" in a non-religious way on "Misery Business," tell them to bite you. Who cares if feminists don't think you should be on the cover of a superficial magazine that peddles sex to women? Forget them. You're a rockstar. Not only are you richer than any of them, but you have way better hair. Give em hell, girl.
