Lenny Kravitz: Women Should Run The World, But Greed And Power Prevent Progress

Lenny Kravitz is just about as perfect as it gets, right?

He's smart, he makes glorious music, he's a real life adonis, his character died for Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games and he's unafraid to speak his mind.

And in this particular instance, speaking his mind comes in the form of lauding the loyalty, intuition and emotional strength of the women he has encountered in his life.

Excuse us while we melt a little over here.

In an interview with Flatt Magazine, Lenny reveals his deepest respect for the women who shaped him during his upbringing:

"My first experience with women would be my grandmother, my mother and my aunt. They were the women that raised me. At an early age, I understood it in my spirit the strength of women, the loyalty of women, the fact that women do whatever they need to do to take care of their families or loved ones. Women’s dedication, hard work, honor. These women were the rocks of my life, the pillars of my life." he said.

He also said: "I personally think women should be running the world. I know that’s such a funny, easy thing to say."

And explained: "The women’s cause is going to take time. There are so many brilliant women and people. So many brilliant souls that would help this world be such a better place. I think the biggest thing we have to get out of our system is this whole thing of power and greed because there are so many smart people on this planet."

"Because of greed and power and wanting to keep things traditional, we just keep things stuck," he concluded.

He also has some brilliant responses to the race issue that is still rife in America and, indeed, the rest of the world and the importance of what we do with the environment and with technology.
