On Emma Watson's Speech About Feminism

So this isn't going to be a review post.
In fact, I don't know if it's gonna be much of a post at all.
I just wanted to let you guys know Emma Watson did a thing and it's amazing.
I am now a big Emma Watson-enthusiast



So basically yesterday, Emma Watson gave this totally amazing speech about feminism on the 20th of September. If you didn't know, she identifies as a feminist, and is a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. Yesterday, she was in NY to announce the launch of "HeforShe", a campaign to help end gender inequality.

For the launch, she gave this completely amazing speech. It was basically about how the word "Feminist" has become synonymous with "man-hater", "macho", and other ill-connotative words. It was also about how men and women both should start respecting themselves and each other, and stop with all the forcing of gender roles.

It is incredibly amazing and you can read a full transcript here. (This is also my source :/)

Peace and Love
