Women already have equal rights in the USA. Maybe she needs to go protest in some other country
Yes. That too. Probably a lot of them are coerced into putting on the bee-keeper suit and emigrating to a slave camp.
I would like to hear Ms Watson’s views on the different physical qualifications for men and women filling the same roles in the military, police, fire, etc.
If she can’t defend one set of requirements for both genders for a given role, then I would love to hear her definition of “equality”.
you want gender equality?
demand the same selective service requirements for women as for men
demand the same treatment for domestic violence male victims as female victims
demand the end to alimony.
demand women open doors for men
demand that MEN and children go to the lifeboats first.
demand that women like myley cyrus stop acting like sluts and start acting like adults.
etc.
Emma isn't familiar with any current feminists apparently. Maybe separation isn't the right word. What they really want is to turn boys into girls and men into women.
I don’t understand what gender equality even means.
As a female, I have never, ever felt inferior to/lesser than/not equal to men. DIFFERENT, of course, but that’s not something to struggle against.
This chick talks about her issues with feeling equal while she was growing up. She sounds like someone with a mental problem to me.
What’s an “Emma Watson”?
She mentions the “ban bossy” meme.
She says she represents a different form of feminism but that’s a lie. And stepping before the United Nations does nothing but shame America. Others on this thread have pointed out the hypocrisy in not targeting the Islamic world with this message.

Emma is sadly mistaken about the goal of groups like NOW (Smash the Patriarchy - Smash the State - Smash Monogamy).
Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives (Frontpagemag.com ^ | 9-2-2014 | Mallory Millett)
And so began my period as an unwitting witness to history. I stayed with Kate (Millett) and her lovable Japanese husband, Fumio, in a dilapidated loft on The Bowery as she finished her first book, a PhD thesis for Columbia University, “Sexual Politics.”It was 1969. Kate invited me to join her for a gathering at the home of her friend, Lila Karp. They called the assemblage a “consciousness-raising-group,” a typical communist exercise, something practiced in Maoist China. We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back-and-forth recitation, like a Litany, a type of prayer done in Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice:
“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?
“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” they resounded.
They proceeded with a long discussion on how to advance these goals by establishing The National Organization of Women. It was clear they desired nothing less than the utter deconstruction of Western society. The upshot was that the only way to do this was “to invade every American institution. Every one must be permeated with ‘The Revolution’”: The media, the educational system, universities, high schools, K-12, school boards, etc.; then, the judiciary, the legislatures, the executive branches and even the library system.
It fell on my ears as a ludicrous scheme, as if they were a band of highly imaginative children planning a Brinks robbery; a lark trumped up on a snowy night amongst a group of spoiled brats over booze and hashish.
“As a female, I have never, ever felt inferior to/lesser than/not equal to men. DIFFERENT, of course, but that’s not something to struggle against.” -— well put. That’s the premise with which many activists in iran work, for example. Among those activists are more than several men who understand, work with & support women activists to the point of going to prison and being abused themselves, which might surprise some in the west. These men & women all fighting for same basic rights for women, whilst acknowledging the “difference” between a man & a woman. Unfortunately, the physical strength & biological differences between men and women are also often used as an advantage by not only the sexist but also almost misogynistic islamic culture in today’s iran, for instance. Other than that, what the women there really want is to have “same opportunities” in having custody of their kids, equal pay for same job, equal weight in being a witness in legal terms, and so on.. as their male counterpart. It’s very reasonable. Of course there are also other women there who are ok with being in a Purely supportive position to men.
Meant to reply earlier. Pls see #30. I’d agree some maybe mentally & emotionally unstable. Many western women aren’t coerced. They make a clear free choice, but more likely out of ignorance.
Timely BUMP
another reason E. Watson’s performance in the Beauty and Beast movie is being soundly panned.
