So Emma Watson posed bra-less for Vogue and got this backlash, and more, and more:
This was the photo:
This was Emma’s response:
“It just always reveals to me how many misconceptions and what a misunderstanding there is about what feminism is. Feminism is about giving women choice. Feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women with. It’s about freedom, it’s about liberation, it’s about equality. I really don’t know what my tits have to do with it.”
She is of course correct. At the heart of feminism is the woman’s right to choose, and ultimately this was a choice she made and this does not diminish in any way where she stands on the fight for women’s rights. In fact, to insist that going bra-less stands against feminist ideology makes absolutely no sense — unless of course we’re talking about the fact of the male gaze dictating how going bra-less means nothing but the sexualization of a woman?
Emma also says:
“I’m confused. Most people are confused. No, I’m just always just quietly stunned.”
Yeah, we all are.
