Why I’m not siding with ‘HeForShe’
Sep. 28, 2014Recently, actress and millennial sweetheart Emma Watson gave a speech in front of the U.N. about the importance of male involvement in the women’s rights movement. While I am a fan of Watson and the idea of male-inclusive feminism, I’m not interested in making an impassioned plea for male support. The concept of gender equality is so simple. I don’t feel the need to coax anyone — male or female — into supporting such a cause, nor do I want to explain to them why it does not yet exist. I’m not going to drag out the statistics on wage inequality, launch into an overview of rape culture or explain why the concept of “legitimate rape” is bogus.
