12. Patrick Stewart

The English actor known for his roles in the X-Men series is a major advocate for women’s rights, especially in dealing with domestic violence. Stewart was quoted saying, “The truth is that domestic violence and violence against women touch many of us. This violence is not a private matter. Behind closed doors it is shielded and hidden and it only intensifies. It is protected by silence — everyone’s silence. Violence against women is learned. Each of us must examine — and change — the ways in which our own behavior might contribute to, enable, ignore or excuse all such forms of violence. I promise to do so, and to invite other men and allies to do the same.”
