Those are some of my views, feel free to comment yours as long as they are appropriate, Thank you,
Dear reader,
A few months ago Emma Watson (a huge idol of mine) became a UN Ambassador and founder of the HeforShe campaign. I have been a fan of Emma Watson ever since i started watching the Harry Potter films, Hermione is my favourite character, and i have always considered myself a feminist.
Many people associate feminism with hating men, not shaving, being manly and all sorts of ridiculous things. I have felt strongly about gender equality since i was quite young however nobody around voiced or seemed to share there views. So i sat quietly with my opinions and didn't talk about it.
So, when my idol spoke a speech about feminism I was extremely inspired and excited! Women and men should be equal, there is no reason that women shouldn't be treated as well as men. Many woman believe that feminism doesn't apply to them, but I believe it's simple, if you want gender equality and want to support women then YOU ARE A FEMINIST! It doesn't mean you are bitchy or hate men, women in some places are made to dress a certain way and act a certain way for men but really we should all be how we want, men or women.
What Emma Watson also said was how she became sexualised by the media at a young age. Why should there be images or half-naked woman to advertise products? Isn't that wrong? Women and girls should be free to look and wear what they want and I for one think it's disgusting that Emma was sexualised at such a young age, it ruins their childhoods.
