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.

    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.

    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."

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    Honestly this is the answer. You can look and also be respectful to the person at the same time. That is what both feminists and others want. Just not the bigots, they don't know what respect is.

    No. It's simply egalitarianism.

    Feminism is focused one a singular aspect, which in itself can destoy what it seeks to do by placing the topic itself as seperated from all others.

    I mean yes, it's necessary because there are severe issues, yet the overarching attitude I often observe when singular aspects of egalitarianism are grabbed to focus on get quickly out of sync and even turn into what they fight.

    I've seen sexist feminists who are not aware that they are sexist. Driven into it by the frustration of inequality which is slow moving and sometimes even moves backwards. Frustration can corrupt.

    Gender inequality is a symptom of the broken societies we live in. Alleviating symptoms doesn't cure the core problem.

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