Emma Watson, Gender Equality and Feminism
Anyone been following this?
Saw the plea on male involvement in feminism she made for the UN Campaign HeForShe and was generally impressed tbh, it was a great message but I'm a bit cynical and not really a fan of Emma Watson or Harry Potter.

I've read the Owen Jones article today about it too, about how we need to use it as an oppurtunity to try and overcome problems with men controlling/abusing women, everyday sexism, and also help men who're struggling with feelings that lead to suicide and unable to get help because of their perceived gender role etc.

So what does everyone think about it? If you agree with it- what needs to happen next?
