Actress Emma Watson fired back at her online critics this week after coming under fire for a racy photoshoot in the latest issue of Vanity Fair. The 26-year-old featured on the cover, but a photograph inside caught the Internets attention; the shot featured Watson looking right at the camera while posing in a crocheted white top with nothing on underneath.
On social media, critics demanded to know how Watson a self-styled feminist and a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador could post for a photograph they claimed objectified her body.
Emma Watson: Feminism, feminism, gender wage gap, why oh why am I not taken seriousl, feminism, oh, and here are my t*ts! British journalist Julia Hartley-Brewer tweeted in what was one of several similar negative responses to the stars photo.
Other Twitter users called the actress a hypocrite and not a real feminist.
In an interview with Reuters, Watson said the being a feminist doesnt mean that women can never pose topless.
Feminism is about giving women choice. Feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women with, Watson told Reuters. Its about freedom. Its about liberation. Its about equality. I really dont know what my t*ts have to do with it. Its very confusing. Im confused. Most people are confused.
For her part, Watson said she was pleased with how the photoshoot came out.
The shot itself, I was honestly slightly taken aback by it, she said. We had been doing so many crazy things on that shoot, but it had really felt incredibly sort of artistic. I had been so kind of like creatively involved and engaged with Tim and I was so thrilled with how interesting and beautiful the photographs were. But yeah, people have asked, and Ive gone, Is there a controversy about this?'

Pathetic. The Junior Anti-Sex League runs the show these days.
No kidding, but in the UK, maybe that goes for hot?
Her top is not crocheted!! Get you fiber art right, people!!!!!!!! :-)
That’s what would be in the new Sears Catalog...
Really articulate, isn’t she?
Aren’t females of all types supposed to have t*ts?
"Why is everyone looking at my t*ts, anyway? I mean, they're nice and pert and all - see how they jiggle oh, ever so slightly when I laugh? - but I don't understand why everyone... Heh, are you looking at my breasts? That's sexist!"
Regards,
She was cute as Hermione. Playing whatever she is supposed to be in this photoshoot, she looks cold. I would never under any circumstances come near a woman with that face. Judging by her expression in so many photos and her words in so many interviews, success has ruined whatever chance she had to be a decent person.
are we really losing our minds because hermione showed underboob in a magazine no one here reads, got in trouble with her fellow travelers — all of which made her upset ?
srsly . . . ?
She has kind eyes....

The kind I like...
#41. As Joe Besser, one of the later “3 Stooges” used to say, “I like it. I like it”.
She is pretty and this is a great picture of her, Hogwarts and all.
What did she say that makes you think she thinks she’s really hot? Because a woman doesn’t/shouldn’t have to be “super hot” to dress up, feel sexy, an proud of whatever beauty they do possess. That said, not a fan of the show it all crowd these days.
I enjoyed this comment at the link:
“Sorry, but the hair looks like something you pull out of a bathroom drain.”
“Its about equality. I really dont know what my t*ts have to do with it. Its very confusing. Im confused.”
The feminist-vs-porn issue has been around since the 60s. Feminists surrendered and made peace with porn. The hypocrisy and lack of “equality”, and disingenuous-ness of the whole movement is uncovered, however. They can all expose themselves to objectify themselves, but no one (men) are allowed to do the objectifying.
In short, they can successfully pr-— tease, but shame and hatred goes to the tease-ee.
Well, Emma and all feminists, you can’t escape the end result: you made yourself a soulless object. You lose.
She looks like the wing-girl of your buddy’s hot girlfriend that you have to sort of dine with and maybe dance with because your buddy’s girlfriend is playing matchmaker. And you get the phone number of the hot waitress on the way out so you can date her instead.
She should fire whoever did her hairdresser and makeup.
