I decided I was a feminist and this seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Apparently I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating, anti-men and, unattractive. Why is the word such an uncomfortable one? I am from Britain and think it is right that as a woman I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decision-making of my country. I think it is right that socially I am afforded the same respect as men. But sadly I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights. ... Both men & women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men & women should feel free to be strong. I know many of you have seen (and shared) this remarkable speech already, but this really is smth, EVERYBODY should get to hear, at least once. Way to go Emma Watson !!! #HeForShe #Feminism #EmmaWatson
