Morphine Prince 109,766 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTG1zcEJmxY "I was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for U.N. Women six months ago and the more I've spoken about feminism, the more I have realized that fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop." "Feminism," Watson continued, "is, by definition, 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 s-xes." Watson also spoke about how women "are choosing not to identify as feminists" and the word's apparent toxicity. She remarked, "Apparently, I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, 'too aggressive,' isolating and anti-men, unattractive, even. Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one?" Seeking to include men in her campaign, Watson spoke about how gender inequality can negatively affect men as much as women. "Gender equality is your issue too. Because to date, I've seen my father's role as a parent being valued less by society despite my needing his presence, as a child, as much as my mother's. I've seen young men suffering from mental illness, unable to ask for help, for fear it would make them less of a menâ€â€or less of a man. In fact, in the U.K., suicide is the biggest killer of men, between 20 to 49, eclipsing road accidents, cancer and coronary heart disease. I've seen men made fragile and insecure by a distorted sense of what constitutes male success. Men don't have the benefits of equality, either." Watson acknowledged that some people hearing her speech may wonder, "Who is this Harry Potter girl? What is she doing at the U.N.?" "It's a really good question," Watson said. "I've been asking myself at the same thing. All I know is that I care about this problem and I want to make it better. And having seen what I've seen and given the chance, I feel my responsibility to say something. Statesman Edmund Burke said all that is needed for the forces of evil to triumph is for good men and women to do nothing."

Morphine Prince 109,766 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Let's not pretend like she isn't doing this because feminism has become trendy. She just needs to stop. Any man supporting your hate movement clearly doesn't think very highly of himself. You can't be serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,766 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Of course I am serious. Between the shutting down of the battered husband's convention, the marketing empire based off of tearing down an entire section on the population, the plots to eradicate men from the face of the planet, leaving 1-10% alive for breeding and slavery, its safe to call them a hate movement. That's not what feminism is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,766 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Those are things feminists do, though. Don't come at me with the dictionary definition of feminism and try to tell me that that is how everyone thinks. Obviously they want more power than men. In fact, they already have it. Women are treated better in most civilized societies and they are still complaining! When was the last time a woman has been arrested for raping someone? Every time this happens they get off free as long as men are the victims. They honestly believe that cheating on a woman should be punishable by death but if a woman cheats on a man its just a natural part of life and we need to get over it. Women are not treated better in most places. And that's not what they want. God bless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
