Till she actually knows what isn't written on a script then yes.
Well she has made visits to Zambia and Bangladesh to promote the work of Fair Trade organisations and girl's education; she has visited Uruguay for the UN to promote education there. She could have just been an actress and sat on her backside spending her money... she has chosen to spend time using her celebrity to help other people. I think that is laudable.

The timing of this speech was comical, a new generation of gamers, aka many young people are having their eyes opened to just how corrupt and dishonest these people are. The behavior and attempts by the establishment to suppress this has immunized countless against this feminist propaganda.
A quivering speech by emma watson isn't going to convince anyone in this light.
How mature. Nefrati can you articulate your own ideas and opinions or do you need the blogosphere and like minded You-tubers to do that for you? Are you of the misguided view that link spamming helps you win the internets?

The whole gaming thing, is just another Mary Whitehouse 'ban these sadistic videos' under another guise. It certainly hasn't done 'feminism' any favours and just reinforces the view of the militant side of it. Its no surprise that no one i know in real life identifies as being a feminist. I thought it was a movement that died a very long time ago. There is really no need for it, now that we have full equality laws. I think people who whine on about it these days, just have a chip on their shoulders about something or are a bit attention seeking.
Its no surprise that no one i know in real life identifies as being a feminist.
That is hard to believe.
Thinking about every person I have met.....let's say in the last 10 years.....I would say that less than 5% have identified themselves as not a feminist.
I would be grateful if could you help the forum to consider and understand your perception of the people you have mentioned above by defining (in your own words)...... feminist.

You might flip that a around and ask why feminists need a 24 year old actress born of ultimate privilege to speak for them. Raised by two lawyers, a white attractive and wealthy woman richly rewarded and educated by the west is put out as front woman to "spam" the world and people are supposed to just sit and listen....yea give me a break.
As for chaz's joke title, he manages to use a better quote in his argument than she did in her speech, so laugh at him if you will, but even he is deeper than this woman who trades on her image as little 11 year old hermione to garner sympathy and lowered standards. Judged purely on the merits of what she said and how she delivered it, it was unacceptable. This is a person with 15 years of media training and every advantage in the world, and she gave a grade school speech about feminism, and garners praise for it?
That's the sexism in this world today people don't want to talk about....

Exactly Mary Whitehouse also received death threats. Her methods and reasoning were no different than the new feminists, the sarkeesians of the world who in their new moral crusades go after things like video games. Difference being the the new breed now are protected by feminism, whereas the establishment and media were more than happy to laugh at the Mary Whitehouses or Jack Thompsons of the world, every claimed "threat" is blown out of proportion and used as evidence of just how right these new Mary Whitehouses are. The entire establishment of media doesn't dare to criticize this new breed of moral crusader, and that's become a huge problem, and this situation was created by feminists, so when feminists claim there is no problem or that they are the powerless ones, it becomes laughable to anyone watching.
Just imagine a world where Mary Whitehouse received the level of protection of Anita Sarkeesian, walls of silence and suppression erected by all the media establishment for her benefit and a general smearing of anyone daring to criticize her. If anyone thinks there wouldn't be eruptions of ugliness from that level of suppressive behavior on the part of the establishment, they don't have their head screwed on right.
Just look at the "Masters thesis" of that woman who started the ruckus in gaming, its laughable, as is any work since but no one in the press dares call her on it, instead she is invited on the bbc to peddle her story of victimhood.
This new breed of Mary Whitehouse is basically a super strain, invulnerable in ways which the original could only dream of being.
Was suspended from twitter based on her false flagging him, because that's how these people work now. They complain about victimhood, while they are the biggest bullies around.
Even worse when you look at just how thin their credibility is. Her life narrative which she uses to justify her campaign is destroyed by her own words.
But none of this matters, because its never reported by the press, who are apparently part of a misogynistic society which for some reason bends over backwards to defend even the most dishonest of feminists. Its funny that, and so when women like Emma wonder why feminism has a bad name....its just insulting everyone's intelligence.

my friends/ family just believe in equality, nobody badges it feminism. The only time i have heard people speak of feminists is to describe the militant type. It has often been female friends who have used it in this way too, to describe someone who dresses masculine or comes across as a man hater for example. I appreciate this may be a regional thing. At School we learnt about equality, gender discrimination but not once was this called feminism.
great posts Netfrati, i have seen a few of Anita's videos where she highlights so called sexism in a number of mainstream video games. As someone who is a hardcore gamer and has played pretty much every game out there, she has been very disingenuous. she has blatantly cherry picked small elements of a game, blown in it out of proportion and took it completely out of context. Games such as GTA are pure satire, in the same vain as a gangster movie like Pulp fiction, Reservoir dogs for example. She must think people are really stupid and that's what censorship does, it assumes lowest common denominator of people. I'll check out those videos you have posted later. Cheers for the links.

These Jack Thompson, Mary Whitehouse types always do assume the lowest common denominator, its central to her argument for why people must be protected from themselves and such content. If you have the choice to punch a civilian in a game, its an "invitation". Which is like the religious people of the past who claimed sex education was an "invitation" for promiscuity. Or even more fundamentalist, like in saudi arabia where women are covered up otherwise its an "invitation" to rape.
So again, when women like Emma Watson and other feminists just act all perplexed at why their label is toxic at this point, its like they aren't paying attention.
Oh, I'm sure the usual suspects will be along shortly to tell you it's all feminism's fault and that you really shouldn't worry your pretty little head about it.
And no doubt the usual suspects will be here to back up whatever it was. Oh look, I see they've already arrived. Quelle surprise.
You've heard the expression 'Fighting for peace, is like ******* for virginity. Same applies with trying to debate with feminists on DS.

Object, which has been involved in lobbying the Government to bring in age certificates for music videos, believes the new scheme does not go far enough.
Campaigns and outreach officer Betiel Baraki said: "Young people come to us to share their concerns about the type of music videos they watch.
"They often find it is sexist, racist, (and) reduces women to their body parts, particularly black women.
"That's why we urge the Government to go further and make it a mandatory system."
Sexy music videos are nothing new. There was far naughtier stuff back in the day than Miley Cyrus or Robin Thicke. Like Madonna for example. Never did any harm.
More silly censorship attempts driven by 'feminists'.
