She may or may not have been talking about abortion. I don’t know. Given the world-wide audience, decisions about your own body could include not dressing in a burka. It could include access to health care without a male relative watching - something I encountered in Afghanistan, where a woman could be killed by her family if she had been seen in a hospital without a male relative standing by and giving his permission for her flesh to be seen. It could include not being beaten up by your rapper boyfriend, even if the President of the USA likes him.
I’m sure I disagree with Watson on a number of issues. She was brought up in England and went to liberal colleges. But overall, her message was not vile. It merits discussion, not name calling and spewing venom like some liberal hag on MSNBC.
If you don’t know what western women mean when they say “decisions about my body”, then you have not ever encountered the frothing pro-abortion left.
If Watson had said “its time for marriage equality!” she could have meant anything from perhaps equal hearing at a divorce court in India to legitimizing polygamy in the few countries in Africa where it still remains illegal.
But because Emma Watson is a western champagne feminist, brought up as you say in an extremely liberal country, in an extremely liberal college, I think it is fair to say we know what she means. If she said ‘marriage equality’, that’s code for same sex marriage. If she said ‘choice about my body’, thats code for murdering unborn children. I cannot think of any notable examples from memory where I have heard that phrase used for anything but abortion.
Flick over to MSLSD for just a couple of seconds, and you might hear this phrase uttered. It is very common.... from liberal hags... like this failed actress. Watson takes the Swedish view. Women are oppressed by men and have been for centuries. In order to prevent this, men must be ‘changed’. We need to ‘educate’ them to behave in the Emma Watson-approved manner.
Pajama boy is what Watson & co have been fighting for. A woman this filthy rich has no business telling us how discriminated her group is. Like Wesley Snipes complaining about just how raycis America is.
Frankly, sick of celebrities being given political appointments, sick of the hypocrisy, and sick of these women’s-rights activist who denounce female genital mutilation as evil all the while defending their right to cut their own child’s throat before its born.
