Just treat people equally. That's it. Thats all anyone has to do. Male, female, any eye color, skin color, hair color, tall, short and anything in between. Just give all the same baseline and judge based on attitude and actions from there.

Nothing more feminine that being admired by men

Nothing more feminine than a bunch of men

Some people just haven't had the experience they just wish and wish but nobody will play with them. Others just play too much. I wish people would just be more open. Imagine a world where you could hear everyone's thoughts like in the movies, but you would have to live with that in real life and so would everyone else.

You would have to become very open to everyone's real imaginative parts. Everyone would also have to be more conservative with their thoughts near others.

It's not disrespectful to look, and that's all we can see these people doing from these two frames. Hell, it's just about involuntary to take a glance.

It would be disrespectful to stare or make comments/rude gestures, but I doubt that's what's happening here.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

goddamn, I'm amazed by the reasonableness of these comments.

She's a moving object, our eyes are drawn to movement. She's on the a stage. Most people in the room would be looking at her.

I thoroughly support advancing the causes of feminism and women's rights across the world, and would happily listen actively to what she has to say.

But also Emma is pretty fucking hot. And that fit looks good on her.

Bunch of gross old men in charge of things are gross: more at 11.

I’m glad you dudes are waking up to our reality tho :) welcome! We bake cookies! (Sometimes, if we feel like it.)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Well...

Do you really believe that when you're, say, 70 or so, that you won't have sexual desires anymore?

I'm sorry but it's weird to me that when we see a group of grand mothers all together gawking and drooling over a young muscle pool boys, it's all cute and yeah baby, go for it! When a group of guys do it, they're old creeps?

It's a double standard, of course. And yes, by the time that you're 70 you too will in part still feel like you're twenty and if you see a young beautiful woman walk by, you WILL look, maybe even stare. If said young and beautiful woman is also world famous and dressed in a nice and accentuating dress... I mean, come on, really?

I get it, this is about feminism but ffs we're all still human. Everyone and their neighbor would gush over Emma Watson but just because btheae are a bunch of older guys its creepy?

Just because these guys are obviously not the target demographic for Emma Watson (or are they? Loads of women are into that too, talking from experience) doesn't mean that they don't get to enjoy her looks by looking

If anything you want to talk about why there are only old guys there

🤷 they may only get one chance to look at Emma Watsons ass in real life... They took it. Doesn't make it right... I'm just saying.

A true gentleman knows how to appreciate a beautiful person without giving themselves whiplash.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

I doubt they are gentlemen but it is a picture. Pictures make people look bad very easily.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Or a restraining order.

[–] [email protected] 200 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Just to be clear, feminism isn't about not being attracted to beautiful women. It's perfectly human to admire someone's beautiful features, regardless of anyone's gender. Feminism is about respect, equality, rejecting prescribed roles and limitations placed on gender, and acknowledging and addressing privilege and patriarchal systems of society.

Notice none of those things means you can't still like the sight of boobs, butts, legs, abs, biceps, or whatever gets you excited. It does mean that you shouldn't reduce someone's value to those things, nor should your excitement about seeing someone's beautiful physical attributes become a problem for them, like if you harass them or catcall them over it, or worse.

But Emma is well respected, not only as an actress but as an advocate, and she's there to represent a great cause to the UN. They can respect her and her work and message and still think she's a knockout at the same time. They're not mutually exclusive, and that's a pretty relevant part of feminism, divorcing worth as a person from sexuality and attractiveness.

Admit it, you did it too. Nobody would've noticed where the politicians were looking if they hadn't gone back and paused.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Especially since the video shows they weren't staring at her ass. You actually have to pause the right frame to get that misleading shot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

One doubts you get a position of public prominence if you have a tendency to stare, kinda off-putting to the general public.

[–] [email protected] 130 points 1 week ago (10 children)

I don’t blame them, she’s built like a Greek statue. A man with an equivalent ass would receive just as much attention. At least from me.

I wanted to make a joke, but I found one of the more unhinged tumblr accounts when looking for a picture, and I believe sharing it is far more important than my joke.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Ohdearfuck.

"Perhaps Nintendo got a little startled by the reaction to Luigi’s crotch bulge, so they wanted to tone it down?"

What.

"I should do a post about the Football spin-off games."

Said the voices in their head. 😶

I'll allow it 😏

me, hiding a pool noodle down my pants

"What? Staaaaaahp! 😩"

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I challenge anyone, regardless of gender, to be sitting on that panel and not taking a quick peek.

To me, Emma Watson has got to be one of the most beautiful people on this planet. And she's also very pretty.

But yes, the irony here isn't lost on anyone.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly, after watching her grow up through HP, I can't help but feel little sister energy from her.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Aw, see? Now you gone and made it weird.

Not bad, but still. 😅
