mazarinedrake:the-real-seebs:mazarinedrake:woobiesftw:jvh1988:Emma Watson on 'her naked pictures' rumors in MediaReally the title of this gifset should be “Emma Watson on how a bunch of cowardly meninist’s angry threats completely backfired”.What gets me is that I’ve seen a lot of people on tumblr say Emma Watson’s speech was really milquetoast, that she was coddling men’s feelings or didn’t push the issue far enough. But whether or not that’s true, she STILL got threats just for saying it. There are misogynists out there who can’t even handle the weak version of feminism, which personally I find a little scary. On the flip side there were also people who supported her, and certainly there are feminists willing to push the envelop much further, despite the obvious danger to them. And that’s pretty encouraging. Wasn’t this the case where the “naked photos” thing turned out to be some idiot PR firm trying to do viral marketing?…oh. Yeah, I’d actually forgotten that happened. Damn, that undercuts my entire point, doesn’t it? I kind of feel that it doesn’t, actually. Consider this: nobody else knew it wasn’t an actual threat. It had the same effect a real threat would have. How can you tell the difference before they revealed themselves? Addtionally, a PR firm using it just kind of adds to the whole degrading and belittling of the fears and problems that plague women due to the obsession on their bodies. -- source link
