Okay, but shouldn’t her speech about feminism be the reason these men are watching her, rather than her appearance?
Yes, she’s beautiful, I get that. But in this case, she’s speaking about feminism and eaquality, and the first reaction is, “Oh wow, she looks good,” or “Damn, that ass.”
I think that’s disrespectful and undermines the message of her speech. She’s not there as an actress, but as an advocate for women’s rights.
Arguably, the meme maker is the one framing a still picture as a sexualized moment and thus is the one creating the sexist narrative from a still that we don't have the context on.
Technically correct. The best kind of correct.
I agree. I hate this meme because it seems to say: "Emma Watson thinks women should have rights, and yet, she has a butt. Curious!"
Or, more generously, it says, "These men believe in feminism, and yet, they enjoy looking at attractive women. Hypocrites!" which is also unreasonable.
Wait, she was giving the speech while walking up there?
