"Emma Watson’s 7 rules for being a male feminist"

2015-03-16T21:34:55+00:00

At this point, Emma Watson has become nothing but a toothless mascot for a special interest organization that only wants equality for women while giving her the bones to throw to men.

Look, I'm at a stage where they can just shove it. Harsh yes, but too many times they talk about areas where women and girls have it bad while ignoring the areas men and boys have it bad. Then they come up with half-assed explanations about WHY men and boys have it bad.

I'm fed up. They can have their platform but don't serve me lies and fake-concern to lure me in like some fish.

"Woman tells men what they are actually thinking, decries sexism with no sense of irony."

2015-03-17T04:29:42+00:00

Shouldn't that be up to the people actually... I don't know, in the relationship? Meaning, the woman too. Maybe he likes to pay and she doesn't want to pay. that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's their relationship, not yours.
You should, this article and the "He For She" campaign are just two reasons why.
Paid equally? based on what? Employees are paid based on hours, and their hourly wage can alter based on various factors that I'm sure you have never considered in your life when talking about these talking points you were handed on a piece of paper.
Feminism is a cancer on society. Not even going to go into it further.
Of course it is. But men do not have to cry either. If that's not how that particular man gets through his personal issues, then that's how he gets through it. Men are not allowed to NOT cry now. They have to cry to be "normal". Crying isn't automatically the only solution to our problems. Normal human behavior =/= female behavior
ie; let feminism pick your friends and pick what dialog you're allowed to have with friends and others.
Society is already "he for she". The entire campaign is asinine. I know that issue [of the campaign concept] is old now, but god damn...

That was kind of painful to read, especially the part where they want to label me a feminist because I believe in equality. I wince a bit every time I hear the claim that feminism is about equality.

Dear Emma Watson,

I'll pass.

ThePigmanAgain · 2015-03-16T21:44:00+00:00

I don't really care what this head-on-a-stick has to say. I'm sure it will all be dishonest drivel.

AryaBarzan · 2015-03-17T05:34:29+00:00

Ah, yes. More "rules" for us to follow in order to support your gynocentric ideology. Way to draw men even further from this bogus ideology...

2015-03-17T05:58:06+00:00

Ok, when are these women going to pick up the bill?
I'll pass on being ashamed of something that I am not
So I am to negotiate for myself.... and women too?
It's not, it's annoying
It's ok for anyone to cry. Are you saying it's ok for a man to cry... because it's not ok to cry?
I have no fucking clue what the hell this has to do with feminism.
HeForShe sounds sexist.. unless she picked up the bill of course

"If you stand for equality, you're a feminist - I'm sorry to tell you, but you are."

If you're a feminist you hate men, sorry to tell you but you do.

Stupid cunt.

2015-03-16T22:52:49+00:00

To Hell with this.

iMADEthis2post · 2015-03-17T02:46:02+00:00

I'm Egalitarian as I believe In equality, how dare she lable me as a feminist.

Arby01 · 2015-03-17T07:52:08+00:00

Some spoiled little rich girl is going to teach me about privilege?

Lmao.

paracog · 2015-03-16T20:34:26+00:00

This is like getting advice for getting rich from a lottery winner.

rudelyinterrupts · 2015-03-17T02:01:35+00:00

If you support equality you are a feminist.

By that logic you are also a MRA but I don't think you'll see most of the notable feminist heads agree with that.

2015-03-17T03:23:26+00:00

"If you believe in equality, you're a feminist, sorry to tell you"

meanwhile, modern western feminism shames people for what demographical categories and identities they have

"Sorry", you might as well be saying "WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH."

IMR800X · 2015-03-17T07:38:37+00:00

How is it that these people whose only claim to fame is being paid to stand on stage looking pretty and making noises with their mouths get the idea that we care one whit about what they think?

Scimitar66 · 2015-03-17T15:50:16+00:00

Oh of course they don't want to kill chivalry! Fucking unbelievable.

2015-03-17T01:51:42+00:00

I'm a flaming heterosexual and an ardent gay rights supporter. I've been for gay marriage since before Clinton signed DOMA. I didn't need no stinking rules from some random woman who happens to have the profession of "actor" to know the difference between right and wrong.

I'm on the side of what's right. If that makes me a feminist, I'll proudly scream off the top of the highest mountain that I'm a feminist. I hate gender roles, I believe women are capable of doing everything men can do, I don't believe men are advantaged in every aspect of life, I must certainly believe some men have it really hard.

chafedinksmut · 2015-03-17T01:20:38+00:00

OKAY!! Let's DO this! I like doing this. Some I've gender reversed, others I've just objected to, others are gender neutral and are addressed:

It's okay to let your girl pick up the bill.

Well, it's almost never offered, and when it is, and I say yes, they scrunch up their faces like it's a given I should refuse and that's the last date.

You shouldn't be ashamed to be an MRA.

Got girls in your business, make sure they're paid equally.

Sure, so long as they do the same amount, quality and consistency of work.

MRA shouldn't be threatening.

We only want the rights you've already got.

Can't really do much with 5 (It's okay for men to cry.), except to state that it really isn't. You're seen as weak, impotent, overly emotional, not in control of yourself. Only women can change their attitudes over that, and no signs of that change are anywhere.

Don't succumb to posturing.

Take your own advice.

Sign up to and financially support MRA causes.

Yep. It is TRULY amazing how fragile beauty is. I used to think she was so talented, and eloquent, and smart and beautiful, but now, all I can see is another screeching, sagging, diseased harpy wearing beauty she does not deserve.

Emma Watson,

you opinions are uninformed. Please take some time to review and reflect them before you run your fucking mouth.

"If you stand for equality, you're a feminist - I'm sorry to tell you, but you are."

Sure, I'm a feminist then, since I'm for equality.

I also think that rape and DV are blown completely out of proportions as issues, I think the ongoing infringements on due process over those issues is worrying, I think women are about as likely to abuse and rape as men are, I think the wage-gap is intentionally misleading bullshit designed to grant ever more advantages to women and I think the Idea that we live in a 'rape culture' is a paranoid joke.

Do you still consider me a feminist, Emma?

If not, than enough with that silly line about how everybody is a feminist!

Millenia0 · 2015-03-16T21:25:20+00:00

Well that wasnt so bad, apart from the hashtag I suppose.

2015-03-17T08:31:05+00:00

She has become to famous to fuck and now she is a feminist.The same thing happened to Carrie Fisher.
