Shailene Woodley

[Malle Babbe]

If she isn't a feminist, why isn't she getting coffee for the interviewer?

[Auroranorth]

Yeah, I'm meh on Judd as an actress, but I will always respect her for her activism.

[tortuga]

How do you even get sun on your hoo-ha?

[Auroranorth]

Sunbathing naked in very odd positions, I assume.

What did she say about the casting of Theo James/Four?

She has a rockin' bod, but to me she looks like a middle aged soccer mom. Especially with her hair cut.

I can't link to it right now but it was an interview with MTV while they were still trying to find someone to play Four and she said, he had to be a real man, not something a feminine actor could play.
To be fair, at some point she did say that there's nothing wrong with being less strong but you do get the feeling that she has quite clear definitions of what's considered real male and real female.

Doesn't she also do the "make your own toothpaste, soap, eschew deoderent, hairy pits" hippy kind of thing as well?

Yes. Shailene was featured in the current issue of Natural Health magazine.

She eschews traditional deodorant for some all-natural product instead. (I have to look up the product's name in the magazine.)

From the article:

This seize-the-day ethos drives Woodley in both her personal and professional lives: She chooses work that’s meaningful to her, then uses her A-list clout to spread a message of compassion for her fellow humans and for the Earth.

I also happened to see her on a recent episode of The Queen Latifah Show. She was there to promote her new movie and some all-natural DIY products (including toothpaste).

I was reading on Us Weekly (or the like), that she's tired of being compared to Jennifer Lawrence. Um, is she? I must have missed that comparison.

HA! She wishes. Unless she means people noting that she is the star of a rip-off, poor-man's-Hunger-Games franchise, while JLaw is the star of the actual Hunger Games franchise. I guess she's right about that.

I think that's in reference to when she was on Jimmy Fallon. Apparently this happened but was edited out of the show:

On the afternoon of the Fallon taping, Woodley was dressed in her glam public-appearances attire: high heels, long legs, short dress. She looked fantastic. She brought on a large, rather phallic-looking horseradish root and discussed its virtues with the host, who looked frightened. Halfway through the conversation, Fallon, who can border on golly-gee cheerleading during his interviews, said, “How do you feel about being compared to Jennifer Lawrence?”

Woodley paused. “Well,” she said. “Comparisons always lead to despair.” There was sudden silence, and then the audience, which was shocked and angry, began to boo. Fallon said something like “Whoa,” and Woodley held her ground. “As women, we are constantly told that we need to compare ourselves to a girl in school, to our co-­workers, to the images in a magazine,” she told me later. “How is the world going to advance if we’re always comparing ourselves to others? I admire Jennifer Lawrence, but she’s everyone’s favorite person to compare me to. Is it because we both have short hair and a vagina? I see us as separate individuals. And that’s important. As women, our insecurities are based on all these comparisons. And that creates distress.”

The audience in Studio 6B wasn’t listening, and neither was Fallon. That section of the interview was cut by the Tonight Show producers: Later that evening, when the show aired, Woodley’s gender politics were erased. “It bothered me, because it’s human nature to feel bad if you are booed by an entire audience,” Woodley said, sounding completely unbothered.
