During interviews, Sontag wasn’t afraid to speak out on her views in gender roles or the gay community. In fact, in 1964, she was highly criticized and nationally known for her essay Notes on “Camp” in which she discussed the tastes in the gay community. In her interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Sontag also discussed the importance of the feminist movement. Sontag was also outspoken about her frustration with the segregation that existed between the intellectual work of a woman and a man. She stated, “I certainly think that there's some difference, not a lot, between masculine and feminine sensuality — obviously, a difference that everything in our culture conspires to make even bigger. But I don't see any reason why a woman can't write anything that a man writes, and vice versa.” During the interview, Sontag criticized the societal norms of women and men’s sexuality. Lastly, Sontag also shared her “openness” to gender construction as they discussed about author Jan Morris who was the first in literature to undergo a gender change. In another interview with the Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theory, Sontag confesses, “In fact I was quite blind to what the problem was: I couldn't understand why anyone would hesitate to do what they wanted to do just because they were told that women didn't do such things.” Sontag who during the interview stated that she was in fact a feminist, made it clear that her views on feminism have changed.
