Best answer: Let me tell you how I feel about Emma Watson's speech on Feminism. I had watched her video on YouTube a few month ago. For me, I prefer *Egalitarianism* instead. I'm a male & Egalitarian who believes that both sexes should look after one another instead of just only focusing on issues that have to do with their own gender. If you believe in equality under the law for both sexes....then every person should call themselves egalitarians. Simple. Masculism & Feminism are good ideologies, but I do tend to be wary of and at times dislike those who represent those political views in a gender hating or biased fashion due to gender favoritism. I've read & heard feminist groups state comments that were extremely Misandristic, while some MRA groups made statements that were Misogynistic. I really do wish everyone would strive to be Egalitarians-(what I like to call a True Equalist) and Humanists instead of catering to social political favoritism. Men & Women both have different areas where we all experience forms of social injustices, sexism, double standards, and worse violence. I don't believe any person should be seen as less important and each person should be respected until given a valid reason not to through their actions & words. Most importantly, we all should be treated equally under the law. I do understand Emma Watson on where she is coming from with women's rights and very happy that she would acknowledge the struggles men face too in our society that most ignorant dishonest feminist supporters who claim men don't struggle with anything in societies wouldn't dare acknowledge it...such as men being pressured to not express their feelings as freely as women when we're emotionally hurt about something or someone out of fear of others thinking we're weak or undesirable. Sometimes I wonder if she & other feminists really recognize the hardships men face & how our human rights are completely ignored. Since she hasn't given enough social examples on how men had been unfairly mistreated under the law. As of now, I don't believe that she can identify with men's issues and do feel like she doesn't have full knowledge about men as she think she does. For example...Domestic Violence...look how feminist like Wendy Williams made fun of Jay Z getting physically attacked by Solange Knowles in the elevator awhile back & the difference how the media treated Jay Z by blaming him for doing something wrong to provoke her while he stayed still not fighting back. In effect, look at the recent events how Ray Rice physically attacked his fiancé while the media is painting him the bad guy without questioning why he hit her or what she did to provoke him. Let's include that Ray Rice went to jail for assaulting a woman and Solange Knowles didn't go to jail for assaulting a man. Where is the outrage & equality in that? I remember so many male & female YouTube commenters cheering Solange Knowles on beating Jay Z than the male & females who opposed her actions. I was already aware of that double standard, but I had never been disgusted in my life to see a man who didn't provoke nor attack a woman on camera while other people glorified that kind of uncivilized behavior. I can careless how strong or weak the aggressor is towards their victim who is weak or stronger.....the aggressor should always be punished! There is absolutely no excuse for a human being to physically abuse another person without a good reason. Stating, "He or she made me do it" is not a good excuse because it shows that person has no self-control. The entertainment world usually portrays the male sex as always being the murderers, rapists, unintelligent, violent, uncaring, shallow, verbal abusers, and lazy people. Yet, I haven't heard any outrage in that. I don't like Emma Watson trying to promote labels on getting everyone to be feminists treating Feminism like it is a recruiting agency. I do agree with the others on the title of the movement "He for She". Why not call the movement *Freedom Fighters", "SHE & HE", or something else that would show that both men & women are important equally? Women should fight for men's equal rights on areas where men are struggling just as men should fight for women's equal rights where they are struggling. Anyways....from my point of view....she is misguided, ignorant, and in denial about the inequality between the sexes. I don't support or approve of her feminist views.
