Dolly Parton has refused to label herself a feminist in a candid chat where she admits it is still a man's world. The country music icon also held off from criticizing President Donald Trump, unlike her 9-5 co-stars Bridget Fonda and Lily Tomlin. Singer Dolly, 73, was speaking ahead of the opening of the 9 to 5 musical in London, based on the film she wrote the music for. In an interview with The Guardian Dolly said: 'I must be if being a feminist means I'm all for women, yes. But I don't feel I have to march, hold up a sign or label myself. 'I think the way I have conducted my life and my business and myself speaks for itself. I don't think of it as being feminist. It's not a label I have to put on myself. I'm just all for gals.'

Fonda and Tomlin openly condemned Trump on stage at the Emmys in 2017 - something Dolly held back from. Fonda, 81, began: 'In 1980, we refused to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot boss.' Before Tomlin, 79, added: 'And in 2017 we still refuse to be controlled by a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot boss.' Fonda concluded: 'Tonight we're here to recognize some men who conduct themselves with the utmost integrity.' Parton then steered the conversation back to 9 to 5, with a shoutout to co-star Coleman. Dolly, who hails from Tennessee, adds: 'I want to be my own individual self. If I've got something to say, I'll say it, but I don't want to be dragged into it. 'It was not a surprise, knowing Lily and Jane. I just did not want everybody to think that whatever they think is what I think. I don't really like getting up on TV and saying political things. I don't even want to make a deal out of it, but I want people to know I'm my own individual self. 'Even though [Fonda, Tomlin and I] may agree on a whole lot of things – and they may have more agreement [between] themselves because they've been together for longer – I still have my own thoughts and my own way of doing things. It's not a matter of being disrespectful, it's just, OK, that's what they said, I'm not getting involved in it. 'I've got as many Republican friends as I've got Democrat friends and I just don't like voicing my opinion on things. I've seen things before, like the Dixie Chicks. You can ruin a career for speaking out.' And asked specifically about Trump Dolly states: 'I ain't talking about Trump.' 9-5, starring Dolly, is the story of three women getting revenge on their male boss Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda appear on stage at the Emmys in 2017 When asked about work place harassment she said: 'I'm pretty sure it's always been bad. It's just that with the #MeToo movement women are bolder to speak out against it. 'It’s a man’s world, and it’s not their fault any more than it is just life and … we have allowed it to happen. I think people now see that we’re here, and women are very important, and they need us, just as we need the men. 'But if someone was getting real aggressive with me, I’d scream or throw something at them. But, of course, I’ve been hit on – I’ve probably hit on some people myself.' The star, married to Carl Dean, 76, for five decades, has also been forced to deny reports she's gay. She has spent years dogged by rumours that she is secretly dating her best friend, Judy Ogle. But Dolly told the told The Sun: 'So people say that, because you can’t really have a great relationship with a woman. I’m not gay but I have so many gay friends and I accept everybody for who they are.'All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
