Worth noting that the opposition to that is mostly women, though.
It's much easier to get activists on side if you can frame it as men vs women more directly by men opposing women's freedoms, even if it's not true. Similarly, abortion is often framed from the pro-choice people as men wanting to control women, but in the US men and women have almost identical attitudes on if abortion should be legal, and in the UK women are actually believe abortion should be restricted more than men do.
Yeah, pretty retarded. Hard to spend 9 months with a baby growing inside you, affecting you physically and psychology and have it not affect your career.
MRA screeching aside how the fuck did Emma Watson became a feminist icon? She's made like what, 50M+ based on the fact that she had the right look as a child and could read a script. How do you physically stand beside Malala at UN events and complain about a few nobodies saying mean things about a photo shoot that probably doled out her entire extended familie's life earnings.
Oh look a celeb taking up a useless political cause which she/he/it will not be doing anything. We need to be told how to act by celeb so us petty commoners otherwise would not know.
Black people are too busy with woke intellectual pursuits like killing innocent bystanders and having children out of wedlock to engage in retarded behaviors like trying to encourage people to read.
She has a lot of visibility and promotes the relevant ideas. It's really not that complicated. I would hope that she realizes the role that luck has played in her success, but there is nothing unusual about that.
I remember when she was justifying her own feminism by saying her experience with sexism was that she'd never had a male director on one of her films. She's a special girl.
Feminist books? Those who promote man hate? That say that not having periods is male privilege? I've yet to see a feminist work that doesn't somehow attack men.
I'm left wondering how many feminist works he's read.
To be honest I don't see what that has to do with feminism, but ok. I was talking about Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan and a couple of others. While not always openly hostile towards men, there is a consistant dismissal that men offer anything to the world that women don't. I'm of the opinion that men and women compliment each other.
I was just pointing out that modern women's studies curricula are not really designed around raw "theory" like Friedan might offer, but rather feminist approaches to texts which are relevant to Western society as a whole.
My favourite kind of feminist literature is the kind where the author is arguing that men are obsessed with cocks, but the only thing they really prove is that the author is the one that's obsessed with cocks.
I mean, I am obsessed with my cock. But it's a pretty great cock. Personally I think everyone could do with taking some time to contemplate my cock and just how lovely it is.
TBH, I'd probably take the book to the lost and found and hope whoever lost it manages to find it. But it would just end up sitting in the lost and found for eternity.
If Marx had kept all his opinions to himself he would have been right. By starting a movement he altered the course of history, because socialists can't do anything right.
Emma Watson hasn't had to struggle a day in her life. Which ironically makes her the perfect figurehead for the movement. "I know I haven't suffered, but someone out there must be suffering, so let me complain for them."
I agree and disagree with you on multiple levels with this comment.
Yeah, it's strange she's a figurehead, causing she probably didn't ever have to deal with much struggle.
But on the other hand your last line is just stupid. Of course a people that is struggling couldn't speak out as easily. Islamic countries where women feel the burden of sexist laws don't exactly have an abundance of women soaking out for their rights.

The movement finally figured out Lena Dunham is a revolting person, both physically and in character, so they picked a more appealing standard-bearer.

Because she's the type of person who can tell men that women don't care that much about physical appearance and keep a straight face.
