Just treat people equally. That’s it. Thats all anyone has to do. Male, female, any eye color, skin color, hair color, tall, short and anything in between. Just give all the same baseline and judge based on attitude and actions from there.
Yeah. Why can’t we just look at everyone’s asses equally? Smh
That’s my philosophy.
exactly.
no matter if you are a girl or a boy
if your ass is fine, its fine
That’s literally feminism
No. It’s simply egalitarianism.
Feminism is focused one a singular aspect, which in itself can destoy what it seeks to do by placing the topic itself as seperated from all others.
I mean yes, it’s necessary because there are severe issues, yet the overarching attitude I often observe when singular aspects of egalitarianism are grabbed to focus on get quickly out of sync and even turn into what they fight.
I’ve seen sexist feminists who are not aware that they are sexist. Driven into it by the frustration of inequality which is slow moving and sometimes even moves backwards. Frustration can corrupt.
Gender inequality is a symptom of the broken societies we live in. Alleviating symptoms doesn’t cure the core problem.
Just to be clear, feminism isn’t about not being attracted to beautiful women. It’s perfectly human to admire someone’s beautiful features, regardless of anyone’s gender. Feminism is about respect, equality, rejecting prescribed roles and limitations placed on gender, and acknowledging and addressing privilege and patriarchal systems of society.
Notice none of those things means you can’t still like the sight of boobs, butts, legs, abs, biceps, or whatever gets you excited. It does mean that you shouldn’t reduce someone’s value to those things, nor should your excitement about seeing someone’s beautiful physical attributes become a problem for them, like if you harass them or catcall them over it, or worse.
But Emma is well respected, not only as an actress but as an advocate, and she’s there to represent a great cause to the UN. They can respect her and her work and message and still think she’s a knockout at the same time. They’re not mutually exclusive, and that’s a pretty relevant part of feminism, divorcing worth as a person from sexuality and attractiveness.
Okay, but shouldn’t her speech about feminism be the reason these men are watching her, rather than her appearance?
Yes, she’s beautiful, I get that. But in this case, she’s speaking about feminism and eaquality, and the first reaction is, “Oh wow, she looks good,” or “Damn, that ass.”
I think that’s disrespectful and undermines the message of her speech. She’s not there as an actress, but as an advocate for women’s rights.
Arguably, the meme maker is the one framing a still picture as a sexualized moment and thus is the one creating the sexist narrative from a still that we don’t have the context on.
I agree. I hate this meme because it seems to say: “Emma Watson thinks women should have rights, and yet, she has a butt. Curious!”
Or, more generously, it says, “These men believe in feminism, and yet, they enjoy looking at attractive women. Hypocrites!” which is also unreasonable.
