24-year-old film actress and all-around svelte cutie-pie Emma Watson recently delivered a speech to the United Nations on the subject of feminism. The speech won universal praise from all who heard it, except the Iranian ambassador who said he was disappointed because he was hoping he’d get to stone Hermione.
Miss Watson’s speech launched the He-for-She campaign, during which the hot little English tomato will be calling on men to begin joining the ranks of feminists. Many men agreed immediately and could be seen outside the UN losing their senses of humor and calling themselves names.
We here at the Revolting Truth would like to add our own heartfelt response to Miss Watson’s rousing call to become feminist: “No. And keep it down, we’re trying to watch TV.”
Now don’t get me wrong. In general, the Revolting Truth would like to see women treated almost as well as regular people. For instance, we think it would be great if our Sharia Muslim friends around the world would stop sticking women in black bags and throwing rocks at them. That sort of thing is all right to do to cats and other small animals if you happen to be an 8-year-old boy who aspires to become a serial killer. But for grown men, it might be more appropriate to get a girl’s attention by picking up the check for dinner from time to time or maybe sending her flowers. So really. Sharia people. Stop with the bags and rocks. I’m serious.
What was I talking about?
Oh yeah. The reason we men don’t want to become feminists is because feminists are dreadful and they lie all the time. For instance, they claim that women earn only 77 cents to the male dollar for doing the same work as men. Not true. When you calculate the differences between men and women’s working hours, qualifications and types of jobs, a wage gap barely exists at all.
Feminists declare men and women are equally interested in science and sports, and ignore the overwhelming evidence that our brains have evolved differently and, in general, are attuned to different goals and purposes. Feminists claim women will feel liberated if they act as promiscuously as men, which has only helped to create a hook-up culture that leaves young women feeling depressed and ashamed. And when college women express their regrets at sleeping around like feminists told them to, feminists start screaming that one in five of them has been sexually assaulted — another lie.
The reason feminists have to tell all these lies is that they’re trying to support a foundational belief that is so obviously itself a lie. They believe that men and women have the exact same desires and capabilities and that therefore any inequality of economic or social outcomes between the two sexes must be due to bigotry and should therefore be erased by government fiat... which in practice means the government is always going to come down unfairly against men.
So Emma Watson, we’re just going to say no to the oppressive scam of feminism. And here at the Revolting Truth, no means no. Most of the time.
I’m Andrew Klavan with the Revolting Truth.
Men who just say no to feminazis are hot.
....so Emma Watson is going to tell me what its like to be a man in a feminist world?
Has she ever lived as a man in a feminist world?
Then what does she know?
Emma — shut up and make me a sammich!
Emma doesn’t seem to understand that the only reason these people are “listening” to her yammer is that they hope her clothes will suffer a loss of atomic union and drop off her.
She played Hermione Granger in eight “Harry Potter” movies. She’s pretty, in a skinny young way, and a competent actress in that role, to the extent that one wished she’d suffer a poignant or heroic demise because she was that annoying.
She is a movie celebrity widely know amongst those under 30 and clearly an expert on politics and just about any public issue.
Where did you put your kool-aid?
Watson graduated from leftist Brown University......all one needs to know.
: )
In the words of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, She “doesn’t have the genitalia to understand”
Remember when Brooke Shields went to Harvard or Yale? I’m sure Emma has some Scholastic Aptitude, but it doesn’t mean she has any concept of Real Life.
Speaking of Brooke, I saw a picture of her in the U.K. Daily Mail recently, and she’s looking very nice for 40-ish ... not like an alien, so she has probably skipped the surgery.
I apologize to anyone who thinks I actually wanted an answer to that question or really care at all about said useful idiot.
Oh, my husband and kids always say that kind of stuff, too. If I see an interrogative, I give the answer. It’s just one of the fun ways my OCD manifests.
Misuse an apostrophe in front of me, I dare you.
” Remember when Brooke Shields went to Harvard or Yale? I’m sure Emma has some Scholastic Aptitude, but it doesn’t mean she has any concept of Real Life.”
The world is full of scholars, utterly devoid of common sense.
Can”t you see that was a ‘rhetorical’ statement and not an ‘interrogative’ question?
No, that would be different, you’re a man. A heterosexual one, at that (taking that for granted here)
I won't say yes or no to that, but it certainly got my attention.
:-)
No problem, I thought I’d made an error last year, but I was mistaken.
