Emma Watson

I have a feisty 14yr old daughter and we touch upon this every so often. According to her Little Mix prancing on stage in leotards is empowering, to me it is cheap and using sex to sell records. She is less impressed with Emma Watson over this but she still wont agree with me on the subject. I have no problem with that, I see it as part of my role to test her theories and if she can back them up that is great. There is no right or wrong answer over this but I genuinely fail to see how the picture talked about is a stride forward for women or for EW to be taken seriously as an actress. To me it is quite the opposite.

Which is what I am trying to say with those last two sentances. And best of luck with the 14 yr old daughter. Been there twice.😁👍👍
 
And if you were at my place mid-June last year when my daughter had about fifteen of her 20/21yr old girlfriends round for 21st b/day party pre-party drinks - you'd realise that what Emma Watson was/wasn't wearing is pretty much par for the course with girls ...:( (I'd have put a :) but that might have seemed pervy)

At least you both agreed by not suggesting it was music……….. :whistle: :D
 
Isn't the issue more that Emma Watson criticised Beyonce saying that her "brand of feminism was too sexualised" after Beyonce posed naked to promote an album. And now Emma Watson has posed naked to promote her new film. My understanding is that she has been getting grief for being a hypocrite rather than for posing topless/naked or whatever it is she's done.

Unfortunately once more Mr Colchester you have hit said nail once more on ones head. I have said this time and time again. What you say and what you do must relate. In her instance/ this instance it does not. Not only she but fellow forumites for what ever reason, Choose to ignore that. Quite frankly the photo shoot that she did. I have seen a better cleavage in the pit head baths. And they were 99.99999% men. But said men and and laydees at SILH Pardee never went on record and denounced nudity before doin it themselves.

PS, SILH, for the sake of future arguements, if you would like a second opinion to support your views on what 20 odd yr olds are wearing at Pardees, I would be more than willing to stay overnight for moral support next time your kids have a Pardee. 👍

I don't believe Emma Watson ever "denounced nudity"

She did say this

Watson said: "Feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women. It's about freedom, it's about liberation, it's about equality.

"I really don't know what my t--s have to do with it".


It's a massive reaction - and what she said about Beyoncé was she thought the video was done from what a male wants to see. The photo is nothing , nothing can be seen , you see more daring outfits on a red carpet.

It's all been stirred up by the media troll Hartley Brewer who seems a step up from Hopkins.

It's a shame that it takes away the limelight from all the good she does for the UN Ambassador role

Genuinly, are you being a caricature of something, or do you actually never read what you've written and think "hmm I wonder how this makes me sound"
