Just when you thought 2014 couldnt get any more colorful, this crazy old year went out over the weekend and upped the ante. The starting venue was the United Nations. The topic, you wont be surprised to hear, was feminism. The speaker, meanwhile, was Emma Watson, a lovely young woman with a charming British accent who also happened to star as Hermione in the Harry Potter movies.
Watson now serves as a United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador, and she spoke to launch the HeforShe campaign, which, according to its website, is a solidarity movement for gender equality that brings together one half of humanity in support of the other half of humanity, for the entirety of humanity. When you think about it, it sounds nice enough.
The HeforShe Commitment, which involves pushing a button online, thereby changing your life trajectory until you maybe forget about said commitment approximately ten minutes later, reads as following: Gender equality is not only a womens issue, it is a human rights issue that requires my participation. I commit to take action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls. This pledge, aimed to recruit men to feminism, is placed next to rotating headshots of Barack Obama (the president of the United States), Ban Ki-Moon (the UN secretary general), and Matt Damon (the Most Insufferable Actor in the World, If You Dont Count Leonardo I Yacht for a Better Climate DiCaprio).

Emma should move into council housing in Rotherham. She would be welcome there.
