Havent listened to Emma Watsons whole speech yet, but this ones a good read. I want men to take up this mantle. So their daughters, sisters, and mothers can be free from prejudice… The underlying message here is that women deserve equity and equality because of our relationships to men. Continuing to re-enforce the idea that men should respect women and fight for women’s equality because mother/sister/daughter/whatever perpetuates the idea that women don’t already deserve those things based solely on our status as human beings. It encourages men to think of women always and only in relation to themselves, as if our pseudo-humanity is only an after-thought of men’s real humanity. THE TRUTH IS THAT WOMEN ARE WHOLE, COMPLETE PEOPLE, REGARDLESS OF OUR STATUS IN THE LIVES OF MEN. THIS IS WHAT MEN SHOULD HEAR, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD HEAR, EVERY DAY. (Had to emphasize the part I love most in this article.)
