The curious political agenda of Emma Watson

Boring username

Some of you may recall the multi-millionaire, ivy league graduate, former child actress Emma Watson preaching from her merry soapbox about 'sexism' she faced growing up as an upper class member of the British establishment, culminating in her once being horrifically labelled 'bossy' by other children at the local speech and drama school. Rumours that the Simon Wiesenthal centre have offered their solidarity remain unconfirmed at this time.

Well little Emma Watson has only gone and outdone herself by lecturing world leaders at the Davos forum about gender equality and, ahem, 'women's empowerment':

Yaw, yaw, yaw. It's all very good spoofing us with your phoney war stories Watson, and I'm sure your Guardianista friendly, policy vague droolings on equality make some lovely psuedo-intellectual side salad on facebook and twitter.

Now how about you cut the chit chat and address the REAL areas of gender equality-namely large parts of the Middle East where speaking out if you are a women can get you a jar of battery acid in the face, or stoned to death for committing 'adultery' by getting raped. Almost every Western country allows for gender equality and empowerment in terms of legal and political framework, so it would be nice if you directed the spotlight on somewhere like Pakistan or Saudi Arabia for a change. Or it is a case of shuffling in your seat and muttering excuses when we bring up the elephant in the room?

Does anyone else smell a rat when these precious 'aktores' and luvvies start dictating policy to Western society? What is their agenda? If they truly wanted to address equality then maybe they should go for the mother load.
It appears Watson is being groomed for a position in the UN, and has decided to hop on board the lucrative multi million dollar talking shop of patronising rich Westerners who will bestow upon us their holy teachings from time to time.........without offering any realistic solutions.
Blaming Western society for every problem is starting to get a little tiresome, and it's about time we called these chancers out on their bullsheete.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not accepting this rubbish any more.

Champagne and crackers, anyone?

WTF is Emma Watson? Let her F.O. back to where she came from.

Good for you, Boring username, being so dismissive of a person using their fame to make their voice heard and highlight issues of concern to them. How dare she.

She's one fine filly alright.

I've thanked your post not necessarily because I agree with you, but because I like your way with words.

I'd do jail time for her in Prisoner Of Azkaban

On a related note:

Feminists wanted "Equality of Freedom". Fair enough. Boom they got it.
Feminists now want "Equality of outcome" and that is something no human has ever/will ever be lucky enough to have.

Sometimes it seems they feel like they're owed an apology from men for being born human and human life/nature for being chaotic. For as long as we are alive and human they will have obstacles throw in front of us.

Except she hasn't. As I pointed out, fluffly generic soundbytes don't amount to diddly squat in this world. As a self appointed messiah of feminism, she needs to start landing punches where they matter, instead of having a go at Western nations who are centuries ahead of the rest of the world.

Womens rights are her agenda. What is so curious about that? I think she is pretty open about it.

obsidianclock

You said it bro.

I know what the Feminists and their Mangina accomplices will say in response to this - that's a case of "whataboutery" and "two wrongs not making a right" but when they kick up such a fuss about things like what can appear in our newspapers and song lyrics but when you talk about FGM they simply benignly agree that it's terrible then plough on about their bruised egos.

I'm pleased to see people like you calling out celebs like Emma Watson, as she betrays the idiocy and double standards of modern western Feminism... If I may be allowed a shout out, the "Women Against Feminism" Facebook and Tumblr Pages have some excellent thoughts from women on why they want nothing to do with the movement.

Emma has been telling us over and over that Feminism is not here to dictate to you.

Irony is the fact that her performances as Hermione Granger will have more of a positive effect on young women (and men) than anything she ever says at the UN.

To be fair, my acting career doesn't quite afford me the same pedestal as Watson. Although I did play a tree in the primary school play. Maybe I was just too wooden, baduum tish.
I'd do a bit more but I don't quite have access to a microphone at the UN or Davos conference. Or millions of followers on twitter.

Now, since you seemed to miss the HEAVY DARK PRINT, I specifically tried to draw attention to more pressing matters regarding feminism, y'know, where women actually die and stuff. Yes, even worse than being called 'bossy', if you can imagine.

Yet their some of the Wests best friends in the world & the Wests political leaders don't condemn the brutal treatment of women in these countries, instead they stay silent on these types of issues & give them the diplomatic protection & prop up these medieval regimes to carry out these barbaric acts against women because my enemies enemy is my friend.

She didn't.

She fondled and possibly spread open her baby sister's vagina when she was 7 year's old. They were both prepubescent kids and they were siblings. Its natural, the majority of us have done it if we are completely honest and have good memories, and most psychologists/psychiatrists consider it a normal behavioural trait of kids of that age. Dunham was just honest and brave enough to write about it and probably knew it would stir up some controversy among the conservatives which would be good for her book sales.

Anything else Dunham was done to warrant this reputation?

She bribed her 7 year old sister to kiss her and masturbated in the bed beside her. She was 13 at the time.

She also subjected her to emotional torment throughout her childhood

This is a quote from the book in which she talks about her relationship with the sister.

"I took a perverse pleasure in delivering bad news to her, like the death of her grandfather.. hoping the fear would drive her into my arms"

And another

As she grew, I took to bribing her time and affection: one dollar in quarters if I could do her makeup like a “motorcycle chick.” Three pieces of candy if I could kiss her on the lips for five seconds. Whatever she wanted to watch on TV if she would just “relax on me.” Basically, anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl, I was trying.’

That's all pretty normal behaviour for kids.

And I still fail to see how it relates to her behaviour as a grown adult.

Erm.....I'm not trying to embarrass you or anything, but I have never, ever heard of a child playing with another child's genitals when growing up. Also, Dunham mentions bribing her sister with sweets to kiss her when Dunham is aged 14. That's the textbook definition of a predator right there.

I dunno about predator, but it's well odd behaviour and she doesn't even realize it. She's the poster girl for the millennial types for good reason. Ivory tower, egocentric narcissist worldview, runs on the feelz and attention and sees little at fault within herself.

Oh I take your point, though one could argue that her experiences and worldview as a famous child star inform her in a very different way compared to the vast majority of even western women. Now fair play for putting her neck out, but the fact of who she is allows this, but it also informs it. Plus I think people are getting "Bono Fatigue" with your "stars" prattling on. She's by no means anywhere near the top of that sanctimonious tree, but that would be part of it I reckon.

You should write her a letter and tell her that, otherwise how will she know what you think? Maybe use a red crayon to emphasise your point.
