I have nothing against Emma Watson.
But what is blaringly missing is ISLAM!!! Is there anything more brutal to woman the Islam? Not that I can think of. Nearly every other culture on earth reveres women as wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters. Islam generally sees woman as mere chattel.
“I have realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating,” Watson said. “If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop.” — on both sides.
I am not womanish, and a female is not me. We are different, and we are not equal, and never will be. Stay out of my man things, and I will stay out of yours. God made it so, from the beginning. It's not going to change.
Let it be, people.
Yawn.
There will never be equality, because men and women are not the same.
However, these mental midgets don’t know what “equal” means. “equal” means the same, or equivalent.
Oh good grief...3 points to Griffendor if they shut her up.
If the modern feminist movement were interested in genuine equality it would focus its efforts on actual oppression: child brides, sex slavery, female genital mutilation, etc. But, no, it’s topless rallies against calling women “sluts.” It’s declaring that women are just as capable as men and then expecting men to continue to do all the actual heavy lifting. It’s angry and impassioned cries for a woman’s natural right to kill their unborn babies if they decide they’re too busy to raise them or don’t want to date the father any longer. And it’s reasoning that any time a woman wakes up and regrets having sex then she was raped and the man she enthusiastically slept with must be brought to justice.
The average feminist truly believes they are striving for equality but modern feminism is not about equality; It’s a first world female supremacy movement. Oh, they can chant “equality” until the cows come home but at the end of the day for what are they actually striving? A world where women never experience a negative consequence, have no personal responsibility, and where every first world male is considered a potential villain - even 5-year-old boys.
But, but...'gender' is a social construct unrelated to the sex of the individual!
I happen to think what Rice did was worse because he hit a woman but its hypocritical for the gender equity crowd to do so.
Pretty funny from a person whose entire career is based on the fact she is a hot chick.
Women already have equal rights in the USA. Maybe she needs to go protest in some other country
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.
