@@nour-sn6fc No Problem Sister,and thanks for Replying politely! I'm Just really Sad about what's happening in Your beloved Country,But let me ask you a question please!
@@Parmenides7 as if you're any better than toxic feminists.. this isn't the 1950s pal. Nobody here is 'asking for it'.. How about you get off your high horse and go to the kitchen instead?
Im incredibly sorry. This isn't uncommon at all. Most parents prefer boys, most of my friends told me their parents favored a boy and my one friend said to me her dad literally said to her ' I wish you were a boy' like this is a fucked up world
When my brother was 12, he was harshly bullied by his friends for crying. He was called 'sissy' and humiliated in front of everyone. This had happened to him several times. He came home that day and decided to take his life. When we came home, he was lying in a pool of blood and we rushed him to the hospital and saved his life. That day I decided that gender inequality is real and feminism is not just about women. Gender inequality is a reality for both sexes and I firmly advocate feminism.
Shubhi arora i am sorry to hear this but dont worry, ive lost people i loved as well but its ok, all it means is that we will not see them again in this life, but that does not mean that we will not see them again, we know that we will see them one day, because it has already happened here, so dont worry! It can be very upsetting but we all have to learn to be strong, do not fear Death for it is not eternal as we are
Emma Watson is telling women that they don't need to be pretty fragile princesses but strong capable women and men don't need to be strong capable men but in fact they're allowed to be delicate and in touch to their feelings and emotions. It goes both ways guy.
Luke Bullitt wow excellent translation, sometimes it's a marvel how brilliant humans are capable of being. It's the whole stereotype of being a "manly-man"; men and boys shouldn't have to feel as though it's wrong (or some other word I can't think of) to cry or, as flowery as it sounds, be in touch with their feelings. Same can go with females - it shouldn't feel wrong or inappropriate or whatever to do "fill in the blank for whatever typical 'girly' thing there is to do". God this is such a long winding paragraph, but the main thing is that these stereotypes (again, another word for it could be societal standard - a big, fancy word for ya) and all stereotypes as a whole (whether it be about race, religion, etc.) will be here for a long time. It'll take years to change a person's perception of another person and for it to not be of that stereotype. Not even sure that makes sense honestly, but I'll post this anyway I guess. Have a fantascular day, I suppose
Summer Origenes That is not a stereotype, it's how men and women used to be until feminism became a thing. Feminism is a Marxist strategy designed to undermine Western families by disempowering working class males
And i was a big ol piece of poop when it came to my relationship sith women and feminism up until like last year. It isn't easy to convince guys stuck in there ways like i was. If you or any of your girly friends have any issues with getting the message across try getting the guy to watch that move about the strippers with J Lo. They hit the message with precision and if he is paying any attention it will hit him pretty hard and out of no where
+Peter Aremone It is feminists who stand up for male rape victims when other men say that he should have enjoyed it, it is feminists who want o Brunei down the barriers of males not being to express their feelings. So get your facts right before you go and start making accusations
+Holly O'Connor and it's feminists that want to go and become morbidly obese and put themselves on catalogs and impose upon society that this is the new standard of beauty and if you disagree you are sexist. And it's feminists that want to have it legal for women to be walking around completely topless and yet still complain that there is a sexual assault problem in America. And it's feminists who believe and tell people that 1 in 4 women are raped every day AND that every woman earns 23 percent less than a male in the same industry for the same work. Also feminists using the dictionary definition of feminism is bullshit. Look up the definition of communism. I don't think you'll find anything in there about millions of people dying under it.
Why are you all afraid of feminism? We're trying to have equal rights as men. We're not saying women is superior than men. No one is superior or inferior because of our differences.
+红月亮 Joining an army is not a bad thing. I've honestly had experience with this. In most countries women aren't allowed to join the army because society thinks they're not "strong enough" That's lack of inequality right there. And I'm not saying forcing men to serve in the army promotes feminism or equality, that's just lack of freedom it doesn't make it okay for you to say we don't need feminism. Many anti-feminists don't have any experience with sexism so they don't understand. Growing up I wasn't allowed to do most things because of my gender, my dad would always say "you're like a boy!" like it was a compliment or something, everyone around me always made me feel like being female was a bad thing and not just me people around me have experienced inequality because of their gender. I just don't understand how people still hate feminism.
***** Those who don't want to be pretty enough are out of the reproducing race by natural selection.Being attractive is a way to make sure you will accomplish one of the goals of life:reproducing.They are basically complaining about nature. Example:At some point in history only few women had perfume(they were advantaged). They are not in a race because of men,but because of other women.Men often don't care if a women has makeup,perfume,etc.. i've only seen women critiquing those who had or hadn't.
+nfl_nhl_king who îs forcing women to Be preety? i am not, you can do whatever you want, but if you dont ware some make-up im not dating you, so its my fault that i like make-up on a woman? You want me to change my taste în women so you can feel better, thats delusional
@@sadikdipto3548 So after all that after that whole speech you still think women shouldn’t have rights? No seriously why will it damage you in anyway if a woman gets to be herself? Seriously what is so wrong with a woman having rights? Please explain
@@iliasb6794 disagree paw. Feminism can still be a solution. Feminism and masculism together and fight and talk together about gender equality in order to make all goverment to change everything in our susirity.
true... tho honestly if feminism is here to bring equality between genders they could change the name (I believe in what feminists originally stood for tho now some people have taken it to far... in my opinion)
+Chief every sane voice and not just this comment section only suggests, what is needed is humanism which genuinely acknowledges every single human being as equal without resorting to gender apartheid. yes indeed the cancer called feminism is the lifeline for all loser shitarded lowlife feminists and apologist manginas who are no good and are burden on humanity.
It's only a freaking name, men got the entire race named after their gender for gods sake. Hu(men), i demand that we change the name of our race or i will not be a human! (thats how everyone thinks of the name feminism)

@Stefon Palinic why are you even on this video if all you’re going to talk about is men being oppressed. like seriously was your intention to come here and shut down every woman who wants to be empowered by her words?
She's wants gender equality which really means she hates men and women the same. Feminism is a scourge on humanity. Men and women cannot be the same because they are different.
@@Iazzaboyce they are indeed different, but that doesn't mean women shouldn't be able to be strong without being judged and men shouldn't feel compelled to hide their feelings because society makes them think they should be tough.
@I'm Groot what exactly is the propaganda part? And did you actually listen to her point and consider it? Many people don't listen to others whose opinions aren't the same.
@@nanner8584We all have to judge the behaviour of others or we have no kind of society at all, just a free-for-all. There has to be regulation of behaviour where the consequences of behaviour is harmful to others. This has to apply to men and women equally.
I love Emma´s speech so much because she goes on to explain what feminism is so well. The fact that men and woman should deserve equal rights its the base of feminism instead of the popular belief that by being a feminist you are proclaiming ultimate hate to the opposite sex. Emma explains how she has been sexualized by the media since she was very young and how she was called bossy as a child for expressing her thoughts out loud. She speaks for all women while saying that she thinks it is right that we should be able to make decisions for our own bodies. I have respect for Emma and every single woman out in the streets fighting for a world where we don't have to be afraid to go out on the streets wearing short shorts or crop tops because men will think "we are looking for it". Emma is such an inspiration to youth women and we should all look up to strong women like her.
Yeah, as a beautiful black wamen, I demand the right to show my floppy wenus in public without anyone ever looking at it!! How dare you look at meeeeeee!!!! #MeToo
Emma Watson, You interpret criticism as a reason to keep doing what you do. Why don''t you have that attitude with the Ukraine-crisis by showing your love to Ukraine? Do women only dare to take fights for racism and climate but nothing else?
The biggest sex trade is an the US and it’s made by primitive, disgusting feminists, who’s best friend is a dildo and best sex is cannibalism. sucker organizations like this are like whores who beg for money for their starving children but instead go buy bigger dildos for their gaping assholes. p.s. excuse the graphic language, my humble linguistic skills do not allow me to express myself otherwise.
Reality dictates the true meaning of a word, not its advocates. In reality, feminism is not equality. Modern day feminists have amply demonstrated this by their actions. Attempting to silence men (by such childish "pranks" as pulling a fire alarm to stop someone from speaking at a scheduled event), open contempt for the male gender in general, and much more. These are the actions of feminists today. And it speaks loudly of what feminists believe.
I am a 18-year-old man, so there isn’t much I can say or do to express how much she inspires me. But one thing is sure, if I ever have a daughter in the future, I will show and tell her about this incredible women and say that she was the face of true feminism. So much respect for Emma and women like her.
I hadn't put too much thought into gender equality lately, but this video made me want to speak up. And when I did, I got a lot of horrible, sexist comments from some men (boys, really). It just proved to me not only that gender inequality really does still exist, it also showed me that it's deeply ingrained in people's brains that men are superior to women. That got me so heated and it got me feeling so defensive and so passionate about women's rights. I really hope some light can be shed on this topic and I thank Emma for being brave enough to begin doing so.
Obviously, men and women are not equal in all ways biologically, but the point is, we should be given equal rights in all the ways that we can despite these differences.
I guess I need to look more into what exactly the 'feminist stance' is. I'm not saying I agree with it, just am praising Emma standing up for women's rights.
so if i search for a worker that has to carry heavy things i shall waste my time testing women for the job for the sake of equal opportunities? tell obama to fund me for testing the women which i will reject.
I've never had such a respect for a peron as I have for Emma right now. Thank you so so much, for inspiring me and being such an example for me and other young girls, that need something just like this. Inspiration, example and it's important for us to know what is REAL feminism about.
You dont need feminism to be a successful and decent human being. You need to be an individual with a drive with respect for yourself respect for the others around you and the smarts to put your hard work together. Not sure what gender has to do with any of it. Sounds like an excuse for mediocrity or failure if you ask me, If youre looking for life or career motivation, attributing your problems to gender is just ridiculous.
@@AllthatremainsMV yes I agree, but in some countries women have no rights, are treated like objects and can't do anything like men, so how can they live a happy life when they know that there's no respect for what they do? That's why they need feminism. To show others that they are at the same level as men and in this countries it is about gender.
Y O L O First where is your source.and girls objective just as much as men in middle school if not more. Third point is true for undeveloped country but developed country have the same rights.
wow, so sad to see all these hate comments, feminism is equality, yes it has 'fem' in it but we want both men and woman to be treated the same, so please stop hating on equality
+Khaine's Lair Lmfao.....Like you said, basis what? Your tumblr and wikipedia "research" or claims made in fraud academic gender studies projects, that you choose to call "research" which are undertaken by gender studies departments of universities, colleges and feminist lobby groups to propogate the same worn out absurd and mythical claims of feminism and feminists, and whose so-called "analysis and findings" are pure distortion of facts, that are customized to suit the perverted agenda of feminism and feminists? Who are you anyway, to play the judge and jury, as you seek to superimpose your absurd worldview and deluded mythical claims, based on so-called "research", upon everyone who don't agree with the lies, hypocrisy and nonsense of feminism and feminists? Understandably, you are another one of the typical airheaded and allergic to common sense "I-know-all" narcissist feminist, preaching her pearls of wisdom, that neither make sense nor hold any merit, but still everyone must accept them without any questions asked, for sake of political correctness. Is that why all feminists despite their claims of being "intellectually superior & genius brains" with so-called "pathbreaking research", to back their mythical claims which they try so hard to pass around as so-called "research based facts", such sore lonely losers incapable of making an honest living & thus finding honor living off welfare or inheritance like parasites, while ultimately ending up in lunatic asylums and the streets? Understanding of the feminist psyche of crutch mentality, and lies of feminism which are all absurd claims without substance and bereft of common sense, doesn't require any "research" or "study", just the application of simple common sense is all it takes to dismantle every single one of the lies and every absurd claim of feminism and feminists ... In simple words, all feminism and feminists can do, is only whine over anything and everything, manipulate truth, distort facts under the guise of "research" because feminists and feminism are allergic to common sense and everything else that doesn't confirm with their idea of matriarchy and gynocentrism, which keeps them in business. The absurd interpretations and claims of feminism and feminists, made on basis of fake studies and their perceived fantasies, can only amuse losers who have zero capacity to make an honest living while lacking the caliber to take ownership of their actions, together with their inborn ineptitude to take responsibilities. Therefore when feminism and feminists claim anything as wrong, basis their so-called "research", the truth, facts and reality are always to the contrary.
Khaine's Lair, saw how it worked, when the shallowness of your argument has got exposed, you cringed and crawled back under your rock, like a pathetic and a low-life troll.
jannete R Yes more women need to pick up the slack here way too many men are doing shit jobs and are murdered and are mistreated by society. Hey more women should be in jail, not equal. Oh wait feminism isn't about taking the good with the bad but only the good parts.
Well, i'm going to explain you why has become so hated with the example of my country: Spain. Here feminists have created a fascist law called "The Gender Violence Law", which literally punishes more harshly a man that hits her girlfriend/wife than a woman who hits her boyfriend/husband. Even if the woman started the aggression and the man is defending himself. That's a criminal law based on the perpetrator instead of the act, and is typical of fascists states, like Hitler's, Mussolini's or Franco's. And that's not all: They have created an old age pension law which privileges women, they are against shared custody (and they are eliminating it), they have opposed to creating a phone number which would have helped men and lesbians victims of domestic abuse (the current number just protects straight women), they are against paper aborrion, etc. There's nothing wrong with defendig women rights, but many feminists attack those who defend men's rights (like Warren Farrell, whose talks have been boycotted by feminists).
Because the feminists have failed to differentiate themselves among different beliefs. Then feminists combine with other groups, and make a super idiotic cult and when ppl call em out they get labelled shit.
to all of you who agree that men and women should be equal, but “don’t like the word feminism” - let me use emma watson’s presence as an excuse to quote dumbeldore. “fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself”
Why it is called feminism when its about equality , we already have equal rights for both men and women at the moment and every new step makes it about female supremacy. So many laws that give unfair advantage to women, so much relaxations and still they want more
@@damilolaowolabi6716 i mean shit im all for being for equality and dress however you want but the wage gap is complete bullshit. emma watson is quite closed off and has never seen the real world, she was a millionaire since a little kid so i wouldnt take her words without questoning them
I'm sorry but I burst into tears when she said: "You might be wondering who is this Harry Potter Girl..." Still she can laugh about herself. And she's completely right. Thank you Emma Watson, for this great speech. ♡
+NightcoreDivision What are you, GAY? lol just kidding. I love men who show their sensitive side and hate this cultural belief that all men must not show emotions etc... But I still see some women saying stuff like "If my boyfriend cried I would leave him".
🧜♀️-"Murphy [coming from a anti-feminists and anti-soyboy Right-Wing traditional Republican Capitalist Orthodox conservative woman] Okay, soyboy go make me some 🥞"
10:37 that line.. hit me hard..😊 big respect for Emma to say all this and making me feel the actual reality around us. I was actually preparing for a debate competition and I came across this video.. and truely I got inspired man.. thank Emma.
Besides popular statistics, her and point that men feel the need to be strong and women feel the need to be vulnerable is never more true. I think we should all learn that its okay to feel anything regardless of gender or sex
No, see, you don't understand that meme. This is what happens when The F student retards start adapting and hijacking funny memes and trying to be a part of the cool crowd. I'm probably younger than you. You're probably just a social reject with no friends.
This is why Emma Watson is my hero. She talked about both the issues that women are faced with and the issues men are faced with. I am a feminist and to me, that means I want to be equal to men even if it's not in my favor. I hope that one day, the world won't need feminists because everyone will be equal no matter where they fall on the gender spectrum. But until then, I will continue to fight for human rights. Not just woman's rights. Rights for EVERYONE.
This is what real feminism looks like, an advocacy for everyone regardless of their identity. Emma Watson inspired me since I was also called a “bossy” girl because I was able to excel in fields they did not expect me to. And I think it is time that we start recognizing that the inequality between sexes still exist and the patriarchy is not only affecting women but people in general. Men’s masculinity is defined by their emotional suppression, women are still denied their autonomous rights, folks that do not fit in these boxes are not considered as human beings and are still struggling to receive the same rights and privileges. The youth should look up to someone like Emma who, not only cares for others, but also stands up for them. Some may call you a “Feminazi”, distorting what you are fighting for but this should not stop you from becoming the person that you wished to be there when you are treated as a second citizen in your country just because you are a woman. You are capable, just like everyone else, to bring change. Always choose to speak yourself even your voice shakes.
That was a very nice speech about a feminism I would fully accept. I'm a guy and I'm the last one who would have problems with feminists like Emma Watson, because the take feminism by definition and by definition it is a good thing. By definition I'm a feminist too. The problem with feminism is, that there are many loud persons in the public who are just hating men and call themselves feminists. They need to be stopped. Respect and much success to Emma Watson! :)
tja oke so awesome to have another feminist and also I want to clear something up if u start talking about how men r monsters and women r better u no longer should be able to call yourself a feminist because then u have become sexiest and should srsly do us a favour by no longer calling yourself a feminist so it doesn’t get this kind of reputation
Misandrists who claims Feminism are purely hypocritical and sexist, by definition. But real ladies who stands up for their rights and wants to be treated with equal respect, and actually raise women AND men up, are true feminists.
The comments are always the same. A woman cannot talk about women's issues without talking about men's issues first. Men always need to come first. It's like some kind of mass insecurity.
You are thick as shit. In a supposed speech about equality for both men and women where mens issues were not talked about, you get annoyed at the fact that men are getting angry over this blatant hypocrisy where only women's issues were talked about at a "equality" event? DAFUQ???
CherieShrimpzzz OK so let me get this straight Emma Watson wants me "male" to dedicate myself to her heforshe but I have to forget about my "men's" issues so i can make feminist happy now how does that benefit me at all when my issues are not being considered?
kitteh catto Those other ways you are referring to are called gender roles. Which are paramount to a society. You can still be a mother and a business owner. It’s just much much harder.
@@christiantheologyunited3707 what im saying is that men and women are very different and should stay different even though femenists want to change that
I'm a man and I'm a feminist because women and men are the same we are all brothers and sisters in this fight to gain gender equality for all people that have been affected by this plague.
yes! I've been desperately combing through the comments trying to find someone who actually listened to het speach. i take my hat off to you and applaud you
I hope that one day we can live in a future where speeches like this are unnecessary, since we all come to understand this one simple thing: Everyone is equal.
Agreed. Liberalism and their platitudes have become a disease. People are different. Everyone has weaknesses and strengths. It's pathetic how stupid people have become. Hand her the liberal participation trophy she needs to keep herself relevant, then get her off of the podium. What a disgrace you nincompoops have become.
In America we are equal. Men and women have the same rights, responsibilities, and duties. Of course some people are better than others, but in what way does that mean that one gender or person has more rights than others?
@Fiji Water human rights? It's as if men's rights are inhuman. How is giving right for women to do what men do human? It's not that men are better than women because they do certain things like have a job or wear pants, the thing is that men and women are different. They have different roles and one excels more in one than the other. For thousands of years it has always been that way and it's not until now where these roles are under attack because today the world is only getting worse and one of the these reasons is the social engineering to attack traditional roles.
@Fiji Water Again, it's about different roles. Men are just better at working and going overtime which explains the supposed "wage gap". It's not oppression, it's just that men get into in demand fields and work much more. Also, women are better homemakers and tend to have a better time working with children. Whether people like it or not, men and women have differences and guess what, there is nothing wrong with that because that is how it is intended and both need each other to get by. To degrade traditional roles of women and men is to downplay there roles which is why I do not agree with feminism, women liberation, gender equality or whatever it is people like to call it today. To say women have more meaning by doing what men is basically saying for them to have any purpose or value they must be like a man does. As a result, marriages are falling apart, MGTOW has spawned (you want to talk about women hating there it is and I am against it), the family structure being separated, and so much more which is no good.
@Fiji Water How does society perceive men to be better workers despite of data showing that it is true? There is literally no stigma about men at work and women at home. Again, it's all a social conditioning for society to abandoned those roles which men and women have done for literally thousands of years without complaining and that is why civilizations have done well so what evidence do you need. Women getting assaulted and raped in places like the military and the office because they are clearly with women and tend to wear revealing clothing. It's no surprise that when most women started working outside of the home, infidelity rates within marriage has increased, cases of assault and tape have occured along with many youths losing their virginity. That also explains why there is so much abortion (and yes I believe it is wrong. It is has been proven that most abortion cases are done because it was out of inconvenience. In other words, men and women are irresponsible and ended up with a child they did not intend having). You want to know why the things you mentioned are happening, it's not because of traditional family roles, it's because we left those roles that we have been conditioned to stray from and therefore bring to us a falsity of choice between the genders.
As I man I don’t really care to show my feelings I just wants the courts and systems to go equal and recognize that men have grave issues just as women
Giuseppe Peano, did you even watch the video? Feminism is hated because of self-identified feminists that aim to make women higher than men. That’s not feminism. Feminism is the idea of achieving equal rights for woman and men. This doesn’t mean that men’s privileges will go down, it just means woman’s will go up until they are equal.
that harry potter girl taught me that women can stand up for them selves and are smart and brave Emma Watson taught me that womens rights are important and that we are equal and that we arent just here to have children we are here to change the world and make it better, and that we dont have to be something were not. We dont have to change our figure or personality for something thats not worth it. We're not perfect but we are our own person AND I HOPE THAT SOMEONE READ THIS AND SAW THIS VIDEO AND THOUGHT TO THEM SELVES THEY ARE SOMEONE IN LIFE
__jocelyn__ 25 Men and women are biologically different... You have to be a serious idiot to be a feminist. All the feminist bullshit can be debunked so easily. Look why are women sluts and men players. Because you need some skill to get a woman in your bed. For a female its the easiest thing ever. Why are women 'objectified'. Look men are objectified too. But less than women. Why is that, because men like to see naked women more than women like to see naked men. Pure biology... Why are 95% of the criminals men? If we follow the feminist logic its because in our culture the bad guys in movies tv shows books etc. are always men. So hollywood is extremely sexist towards men then... We all know thats bullshit, its because men have testosteron which makes them more agressive... Same thing with why there are more men in politics. Men tend to take the lead naturally more than women. (testosteron). Why do men like sports more than women and why do boys play with trucks and girls with dolls? Due to different hormone lvls, has been scientifically proven. Why are there less women in stem fields? Feminist says it is cause of the culture wich is biased. Well lets look at the medicine field then. Very prestigious. Docs make way more than the average computer engineer. And its culture was years back dominated by males and biased against women. Now women dominate medicine. How does it come that women flood some studies and why do they stay away from others while the culture was the same (both male dominated)? Biological diferences. In medicine you have the 'caring for other people' aspect which women love. The wage gap myth has been debunked time after time... Look people there is no injustice in our society towards women... Almost if not all can be explained due to biological differences. Also feminism makes women unhappy. In the 1970's women were happier then in 2017. Research has confirmed this. Also like in more conservative regions with more traditional gender roles women are happier then in liberal regions. Research has also confirmed this. Men are men and women are women. Lets keep it that way
Not gonna fault you on your gender equality stuff, but I do want to say that Emma's been in more than just Harry Potter now. People are obviously going to bring up Beauty and the Beast, but I'm going to bring things up like Ballet Shoes, This is the End, and the only non-Potter movie I've seen her in, The Circle.
I have literally no words to describe how fucking amasing and inspiring emma is she has been such a role model for me since day one and she is just so strong and confident it leaves me speechless.
jag tycker Emma Watson borde läxa upp Zara Larsson. Hon kallar sig själv för feminist och skämmer bort Sverige, många amerikaner tror verkligen alla är män hatare i sverige
It goes without saying that these are “First World problems.” In far too many countries around the world, women still lack basic rights and patriarchy remains very real (though it is worth noting that even in those places, men and boys often have to deal with gender-specific hardships, from forced recruitment into war to mass violence that singles out males). But in the industrial democracies of North America and Europe, the revolution in women’s rights over the past century has been a stunning success - and, while there is still work to be done, it must include the other side of that revolution. Not “he for she,” but “She and he for us.” Cathy Young is a contributing editor at Reason magazine. the assertion that violence by men toward their female partners should be singled out because it’s a bigger problem than female violence toward family members. Meanwhile, in Watson’s native England, activists from women’s organizations recently blamed the shortage of services for abused women on efforts to accommodate abused men (despite the fact that, as Guardian columnist and blogger Ally Fogg demonstrated, even the lowest estimates of the prevalence of domestic violence against men suggest that male victims are far less likely than women to get help)." The Guardian. people are waking up "Until feminism recognizes discrimination against men, the movement for gender equality will be incomplete." “Gender equality is your issue too.” That was the message to men from Emma Watson, Harry Potter star and now United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador, in her widely hailed U.N. speech earlier this week announcing a new feminist campaign with a “formal invitation” to male allies to join. Noting that men suffer from sexism in their own ways, Watson asked, “How can we affect change in the world when only half of it is invited or feel welcome to participate in the conversation?” Truer words were never spoken. Too bad they are belied by the campaign itself, which is called “HeForShe” and asks men to pledge to “take action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls” but says nothing about problems affecting men and boys. time.com/3432838/emma-watson-feminism-men-women/ FEMINISM IS HATE, IS SEXISM. IT HAS TO GO. EMMA HAS PROVED THAT WITH HER INSANELY SEXIST AND DISGUSTING SPEECH.
Chinese goy ultra nationalist why do you think that? Woman are literally not treated equally, it's horrible. Why should I be paid less than a men or somebody else bc I am a woman, even if I do the same work?
I love Pugs No, in Germany and the USA for example they're paid 20% less than men, for the same work. Just as random facts: Woman with the same hair length as men have to pay way much at the barber. for example both have short hair, the woman has to pay 20€ for a trim and the men 10€. Like ?!? Equality where you at?!?!
+CZ "Something that has been proven time and time again" So I'm guessing: Men being drafted into war was part of their privilege. Men dying in the work place is part of their privilege. Men being told that there is something inherently wrong with them is part of their privilege ("Toxic Masculinity") Boys not performing well or dropping out of school as exams cater to girl's style of learning is part of male privilege. Men having half or more of their wealth taken in a divorce court because the wife said "I'm used to a certain lifestyle" is part of male privilege. Men having almost no custody of their children and never seeing them again is part of male privilege. The skyrocketing male suicide rate is part of male privilege The fact that feminists, who are supposedly "fighting for equality" , are saying things like "'#killallmen", "Put men in concentration camps" is part of male privilege The fact that uselful male dominated subjects like Physics, Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics are being underfunded is because useless "soft science" female dominated courses like Communications, Gender and Women's studies are a higher priority of funding is part of male privilege. The fact that said male dominated subjects are forced to have a certain number of women doing the course, leaving the majority of men that applied laid of and not getting their desired course laid of. Let's say, there's an Engineering course. There are 100 available places. 150 men apply, 50 women apply. Realistically, 96 men and 4 women would be accepted. (64% of men that apply get accepted), (0.08% of women that apply get accepted) Feminists would call this sexist. I don't think so, the majority of men accel at the harder sciences. Not saying men are better than women, I'm saying men are more suited for maths and the hard science for mainly biological reasons.(I will go through it if you'd like me too, but for now I'll try to keep it short). If you wanted an equal representation of the amount of people accepted, it would be, 75 men and 25 women being accepted (50% of men that apply accepted), (50% of women that apply get accepted). Feminists would still call this sexist, because "women are the minority in hard sciences", even though it's 50/50 for the people that apply get accepted, feminists aren't happy because all they see is 75 men and 25 women. What feminists want is 50 or less men and 50 or more women being accepted into the course. Let's just stick with 50/50, looks equal right? If 50 men and 50 women get accepted that would mean. (33.33% of men that apply get accepted), (100% of women that applied get accepted) Now that's sexist, against men. All of the women that applied get accepted and less than 40% of men that apply get accepted, because the college/university was forced by feminists and Social Justice Warrior groups to have an "equal representation of women". This takes place in the workplace as well, companies are forced to have gender quotas to have a certain number of women working otherwise they'll be seen as a "mysoginistic, woman hating, patriarchal, toxic masculine fueled man cave" in public light, which would be detrimental to their sales and profits, in some cases for smaller companies, it would lead them to bankruptcy. Men never had privilege, we just work hard and are rewarded for our work, rightfully so, everything you're using was probably built by a man somewhere, sometime ago. The reason why you think that "male privilege" is something that happens "subconsciously" is because you know that men have achieved great things throughout history, men have built great empires, destroyed great empires, invent the wheel, discovered new lands, built ships, made massive breakthroughs in medicine and science, discovered electricity, harnessing nuclear energy, protected and defended our respective countries in times of need, developed and invented the internet, invented the telephone, hell they even invented tampons. I haven't even gotten into the musical composers and literature geniuses yet, but I'm sure you know that men wrote masterpieces as well.
Why are there so many fucking dislikes? This is literally the exact statement that is needed. Neither gender is supreme, we are equal and should be treated equally
It's funny that Hermione in the books was an imperfect girl who was shy at first. So what does the movie get? A near flawless looking girl that never shuts the fuck up and tries to upstage the main character, and steals all of Ron's lines and he becomes the ginger kid that gets owned. I liked book Hermonie better, she at least GREW to being a strong character instead of just being a loudmouth.
Modern feminism is a joke, and it is most certainly hurting more people than it benefits. I just lost all respect I had for Emma Watson after watching this.
Briana 7, because most feminists believe in things like male privilege, a wage gap and patriarchy, which have all been debunked by people who have any common sense. (Emma even argues that the wage gap is a real thing in an interview, which just makes her seem misinformed). In my opinion someone who cares about equal rights, is just a normal decent human being. Calling yourself feminist does nothing, except associate yourself with all those crazy people that do the same, especially since being a feminist can mean a dozen different things depending on who you ask. The dictionary is no help, because what that says, and what feminists actually fight for, and have done in the modern age, are two very different things.
@Daniel to make ourselves feel better? Excuse me, to make ourselves feel better? I hope you aren't serious, what you just said is so fucking disgusting. You have no clue.
The one thing I don’t understand is when people say that just because a person is an actor they can’t talk about their opinions or say how they feel. Like, they are people too with complex emotions and opinions just like yours. Emma is a highly educated woman and she’s worked hard to get where she is. She isn’t afraid to make fun of herself and she acknowledges that yeah, people aren’t might not listen to her because she’s just an actress. But that’s honestly not fair. People always ask what celebrities think then bash on them for having an opinion, or taking a stand for something that is affecting them. If I were a celebrity, whether an actress, or an author, or an athlete, and I had a substantially large group of followers, I would use my influence to create a positive change in the world. I would speak up. And that’s what Emma Watson is doing. So all of the people trying to belittle her message because she “portrayed Hermione Granger, she’s a famous actress,” fuck off.
@@zachb1706 yes, But the she describes it as equality. She points it out in her speech.. That it's not about women being superior to men or men being superior to women
chami s well then she isn’t talking about feminism. We are equal, men and woman have the same rights. 3rd wave feminism isn’t about equal rights or being treated as functional members of society, it’s about bringing woman above. They have pushed for woman in the military, so they reduced the requirements to get in (for woman) They are injecting sjw ideology into media and entertainment. BFV was a complete screw up for that same reason. They are pushing for abortions, legalising murder, while actively trying to take away our ways of protecting us. Men don’t need feminism. Woman don’t need feminism. Men lose rights to feminism. Woman get pushed higher for no right of their own by feminism.
@@zachb1706 I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from.. I personally don't think men are losing their own rights over it. But why do you think women feel like this in the first place? Why are people like Emma speaking out on topics like this? I'm not trying to catch you out, I just want to hear your oppinion..( The word femenism has a bad connotation I think)
@Coca Puff Due to the false narratives (such as the debunked wage gap, no nation has achieved gender equality) and the lack of acknowledgment of the movement itself having a large radical element that engages in outright misandry.
@@roberteugene7295 like Emma Watson said, inequality is everyones issue. You are entitled to believe what you like but like she said equal rights are human rights. I find it hard to understand anyone who would disagree with that.You don't have to identify as a feminist if you don't want to but please don't be disrespectful about it, people have died for equality so just show some respect.
I usually am one of those people that hates feminism because of the "man hating" but holy hell, this speech was absolutely amazing, I absolutely love this. 100% agree with everything she said.
reDubbbzTV there are differences between men and women, men have way more upper body strength, women can give birth. Theyre sinple not equal, and you are not supposed to treat them 100% equal, I really do think everyone should have the same rights though
I can't begin to list the people who have lost themselves due to society. My guy friends list themselves because they weren't allowed to express themselves. My girl friends lost themselves because they weren't allowed to be Strong or Independent
Imagine if we ALL saw this, ALL was influenced or learnt smth from this. Grew some inspiration, took some notes, communicated fairly and honesty. Not just something, but EVERYTHING would change.
@@SirSusDaddy Same happens for woman. Plus woman get raped statistically (or at least report it) more than men. This isnt a competition. You guys always have your foot on feminism instead of trying to advocate for what you believe. If you want those things be the change you want to see but stop expecting feminism to handle everything with men problems when they havent even fulfilled the main goal yet which is for woman to be equal to men which isnt true globally.
I guess the word she's using is being misunderstood- though feminism is correct by her definition, many people's understanding of it is obscured by the feminist movement. If she hadn't used the word 'feminism' in her speech but adhered to the same meaning, it wouldn't have sparked so much hatred.
Change it to what? Why should we be scared to use a word that has a definition pertaining to the equal rights of both genders? It's not the word, it's the movement that causes the hatred towards the word that needs to be changed.
She is everything that feminism should be, but not what feminism has become. If all feminists were like her, I bet the support for feminism would increase at least tenfold. When I first heard of feminism, I looked it up in the dictionary. It said a feminist is someone who advocates equal rights for men and women, and I thought "guess I'm a feminist". I was perplexed about why so many were against it. But then, as I found out more and more, I realised that that is not what's happening, and I understood that I can't support feminism as it is now, a male oppressing, largely misused movement. It ignores that men have issues too, and that these issues stay hidden a lot more than the issues women face. Fighting to resolve the issues of one group while ignoring those of others is NOT equality.
yodog1446 What he's trying to say is that the term "Feminism itself is one sided". Feminism comes from female, so they should probably use the term "Gender Equality" instead to avoid confusion and get rid of the negative connotation of the word "feminism".
Reality dictates the true meaning of a word, not its advocates. In reality, feminism is not equality. Modern day feminists have amply demonstrated this by their actions. Attempting to silence men (by such childish "pranks" as pulling a fire alarm to stop someone from speaking at a scheduled event), open contempt for the male gender in general, and much more. These are the actions of feminists today. And it speaks loudly of what feminists believe.
In Spain (my country) feminists have created a fascist law (called the "Gender Violence Law") thay literally punishes harder a man who hits his girlfriend than a woman who hits her boyfriend. In addition, they're against paper abortion, they're against shared custody, they're against helping any victim of domestic abuse who is not a straight woman... They even protested when some people a regional government tried a telephone number which would have catered abused men and lesbians too (the current telephone number only caters straight women). If that's not shutting down men, I don't know what it is. And you're saying that they don't do that because ONE feminist talked about male suicide ONE minute in a campaign called HE for SHE. Are you pulling my leg?
It amazes me that there are still men in the world that have viewed this video and still believe that feminism is directed towards men and the sole purpose of making men Look bad. I am 15 years old. I am a feminist. I do not hate men. I want to live in a world where I am not considered a "bitch" for having an opinion. A world where I do not get cat called by 40 year-old men. A world where my voice is not drowned out by the millions of men in the world telling me how to think, act, and look. Wouldn't you want the same for your sister, your mother and your daughters? Why is it so difficult for men to understand that the world does not revolve around them. I do not dress for men. I am not a feminist because I hate men. I just want to be treated as tho I am equal rather than inferior.
Casey Gardner I know right, cussing out a 15 year old makes you such a cool and edgy person. (sarcasm) +Thomas E also "you're not ready for the internet if you get defensive when someone calls you out on your bullshit" You obviously haven't been on the internet for very long.
Jack Baker Look what we have here! A white knight in shining armor! Sorry bud I don't take bronies who defend these lies this girl is spewing out seriously. *News flash*: Defending her won't get you into her pants. Come back with facts about how women aren't equal to men in developed countries then we can talk. If you can't then don't bother responding.
tbh i had no problem with feminism i mean yeah everybody deserves equal rights, but then there's the extremists who aren't using feminism for equality, they're using it as an excuse to be oppressive to man and that's what i have a problem with
yes, thats actually called misandry. the "feminists" who think that women are more superior than men arent real feminists and are pretty much giving a bad rep to all feminists.
i have no problems with feminists but i want them to be kind i have met one feminist but she is pagan and a witch but she is very sweet but i want to meet other feminists and talk to them
@@rebeccab4560 they are not, I have had many experience's with "feminist" in my country and they have been the worst type of people I've ever met. People who don't agree with the journalist or "feminists" are called fascist, racist and a *disgusting human being!!!* I can't put up with this and almost everyone in their right mind can't.
I just want to point out I love how there was white men and woman, black men and woman, Indian men and woman and much more in the audience. Its shows that these problems of sexism an inequality affect MUCH more people than we realize
Mila Acquanita Do you realize that by avoiding my statement of all the facts you just *admitted it was all true?* No, you don't, because you're uneducated. Imagine if I was an alcoholic, drunk all the time getting fired from jobs, destroying all my relationships with friends and family and my whole life. What would you say to me? "Get your shit together and get into rehab, you have a lot of work to do because you have a real problem." *Now..* imagine if I replied, "No, YOU'RE the one with the problem- you just have a hatred of alcoholics and YOU are the asshole." That is EXACTLY how you and all women are when we tell you that you need to get your shit together, explain to you why you're losers and why women never have accomplished anything of any significance and still aren't. And why men invent, build and maintain the entire world. Creep.
Jeff Bridges without women, you wouldnt be FUCKING alive. We go through 8ish months of torture to give life's so people who end up growing to be great people. Without a mother, much children would be dead from many causes. Second of all just no... Women are much more together than what you are explaining. Do you know who Rosie the riveter is? Without us women you would all be dead. And why the hell are you saying this on a comment about how I love the nationalities on this video?
Without men you wouldn't be alive, dumb bitch. Men suffer our whole lives from society and we have to hear about women complaining about nine months of pregnancy. Feminism only supports double standards and the abuse of men while victimizing women.
Gimpli actuly 2 women can have a child dipshit (taking bonemeal from one and inserting it into the other). And if you actuly paid attention to the speech she talked about how feminism affects men. She also talked about how feminism isn't "man hating" but still some people are just too stupid to see that. Yea? Understand? Okay I'm gona go pee now
