apparently Emma did extensive research on sects you can't escape from...


by becoming a feminist.

Such dedication

reply

Yes. Thank you for pointing out how a group that advocates for the social and political equality for women is the same exact thing as a cult.

reply

Please, that is like saying PETA kinda likes animals.

reply

The bit about equality depends on a gender marxist analysis of oppression....an analysis which benefits rich middle class women like Emma rather than the women supposedly advocated for. It's an elite gnostic witch cult

reply

I wouldn't compare it to a cult it just means she's more obnoxious. How about just being a humanist. She's got lots of money which allowed her to get a college degree. If I had lots of money, I'd have gotten my college degree...without a large student loan.

reply

If you are humanist, you are inherently a feminist. Ethics and social norms derived through reason adequately support countless feminist positions(not all of them, but most core positions). Ethics and social norms derived through reason(humanism) adequately support many "men's rights" issues as well. Reason tells us western society needs to address the problems that both men and women face as it relates to the irrational unjust social norms associated with their genders . Dismissing a human trying to address the problems of women by calling them "obnoxious", does nothing to address the very real problems they are trying to fix.

And ethics and social norms derived through reality do not. History has shown quite clearly that feminist societies rapidly get wiped out by their non-feminist neighbours, or turn against feminism when women become scared enough of those neighbours to demand that their men start protecting them.

reply

You got a source for that? That sounds like some red pill *beep* That is also not a logical reason for us to continue to demean and oppress women. "We should continue to oppress women and make sure they don't feel like equals because if we don't we will be conquered." Are you hearing yourself?

reply

"You got a source for that?"

Yes. Reality. Take a look around you sometime.

If I'm wrong, you should be able to point to many feminist societies that have been around for hundreds or thousands of years.

You can't. They don't exist. Any past feminist societies that did exist either died off or were wiped out.

Which is exactly what's happening in Europe right now.

reply

Rubbish. Feminism is anti-humanity and as for 'reason' increasingly all we see is the absurdity of its inner core

reply

If reason is absurd then you don't know what reason is. Reason is the antithesis of the absurd. I suggest you study some philosophy so you can stop using words you don't know the meaning of. Do you care to provide a logical argument why feminism is "against humanity"?

reply

"Do you care to provide a logical argument why feminism is "against humanity"?"

Yes. Europe.

Feminist societies are unable to reproduce, or to protect themselves.

Feminism is a cultural suicide pact.

"If you are humanist, you are inherently a feminist"

That's very cult like speak from you.
I'm a humanist amd could never support something so vile and sexist as feminism.
I am a man and have spent my whole life being vilified by feminist and feminist dogma through schooling to the derogatory portrayal of men in media for the sole purpose of making female character look good to just being blamed for everything.

If they are for equality then why don't they ever fight for mens rights?
Not that women should be doing that as they aren't men and have no clue as to what men need think or want and can't ever understand.
But instead they fight against anything male.
Look at divorce,father's rights,education including the fact that they keep pushing for universities to help women go to university more when it is females that are going to uni's more than males, domestic abuse and how they are treated in court.

Look at now in America fighting and successfully for father's not to have 50\50 custody and for the government to stop all funding for the boy scouts unless girls are allowed but not for girl guides to have their finding cut unless the allow boys.

Feminism is the largest specifically sexist ideology in the history of the world and the words, actions and results prove this.

She's an actress paid to (hopefully) entertain us. In this case, she did entertain me. I couldn't give a rip about her politics.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

reply

she's shoving her politics in your face, and using celebrity to peddle ideology. You should care

reply

I don't listen to her, Sean Penn, Ellen Piage, Jamie Fox, DiCaprio, etc., etc., etc. or any of the others who like to spout their crap. Unfortunately, if I based my entertainment choices on the socio/political views of entertainers, I'd have almost no movies to watch or music to listen to. 😞

reply

I understand that, but increasingly I do. To be honest Emma Watson isn't that bad, just a self-righteous cipher trying to massage her own sense of importance by poncing around angelina jolie style pretending she has something to say - she might get over it - but in the main I can't endure the george clooneys of this world any more. I simply avoid their films. It's not because of their politics as such - people have a right to believe what they want - its because their politics infects their persona, which is a part of what they project onto the screen. Hollywood is all about ideology and I refuse to buy into it any more (unless its a really good film of course, but how often to do they come along these days?)

reply

Agreed :)

cool, lets vote with our pockets

reply

Hahaha!! I actually do. I can't even remember the last time I was in a theater, I don't have cable and I watch Netflix on my sister's account (with her permission).

reply

glad to hear it. I've got free cinema tickets right now - freebie from a bank - but I still won't spend them on most of the films coming out right now. While they keep churning out propaganda instead of entertainment film companies need to be hit where it hurts
