Former Spice Girls Mel C believes feminism is not about doing unwanted skin show.
The 40-year-old singer said youngsters should work hard to become famous, reported Digital Spy.
"I kind of think there's two camps and two trains of thought. Feminism is what it is to you. You can't define what feminism is. I don't want to judge anybody, but for my little girl I don't want feminism meaning that she shows her flesh to get ahead. For me, that's not feminism. But I'm not judging anyone that does that.
"And also, the thing is, the way celebrity culture has become, so many young girls just want to be famous. But you want to have a passion and a drive to do something and I think sometimes people think you can get things easy, and to be successful at something you have to work hard.
