What is your opinion on Emma Watson’s UN feminism speech?

North Korea defines itself as the DPRK: the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. Life Pro Tip; don't run against the Supreme Leader in the next election there.

Why does a totalitarian nation define itself as a democracy, when it is a one party state? Because the truth is less palatable than a lie.

What's this got to do with Emma Watson?

Emma defined Feminism as:

"For the record, feminism by definition is: 'The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes.'"

Next time you read an article about feminism, or a feminist, count the number of times the word woman or women appears, and compare that with the number of times the word man or men appears.

The ratio is instructive, because contemporary feminism is less about women's rights, and more about men's wrongs: real, exaggerated or imaginary.

The point is that like North Korea misrepresenting what it is, Emma misrepresents what feminism is. It may have been about women's rights, but second wave feminism realised Emma's definition of equality. Third wave feminism is about realising unearned privilege and marginalising their outgroup.

That's why Emma had to misrepresent what feminism is, and her egregious 'he4she' nonsense is a transparent attempt to co-opt men attracted to her looks to abandon egalitarianism and support a cause that is patently misandristic.

I find the sight of a tertiary educated metropolitan middle class left leaning multi-millionaire feminist white woman pretending to be a victim nauseating. But hey, Kim Jong-un says the DPRK is corona virus free, so there is that. Why would he/she lie?

She drank the koolaid.

TL;DR: She said that men have problems too, her solution is for men to advocate more for women and she presented a way to do it via he4she.

In the very famous words of Ricky Gervais, "You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything, you know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So, if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your God and f–k off."

I don't like agreeing with comedians most of the times, but this one might as well be the second commandment of Hollywood.
