Shut The F*ck Up About Emma Watson's Breasts

How Watson showed that women can't be sexy *and* a feminist.

Shut The F*ck Up About Emma Watson's Breasts
Vanity Fair

A recent, sexy photoshoot featuring feminist superstar Emma Watson has brought to light an ugly idea: you cannot be a feminist and also be sexual.

Gasp!

This picture featured in Vanity Fair stars Watson and a very mild, tasteful amount of cleavage. It is obviously very high-fashion, artistic, and just plain classy. According to "feminists," however, showing your breasts to the world (even partially) is a feminist no-no.

Even though all women have them.

Apparently, while it is OK to shout "women can do anything" from the rooftops, actually following through with that idea is not.

"The fight towards gender equality is contingent on women having a CHOICE. The choice to enter the workforce or stay at home. The choice to have children or use contraception. The choice to dress how we please or the choice to bare it all." -Huffington Post

It just so happens, though, that if your choice as a woman offends a person's strange concept of modesty or sexuality, that makes you bad. Or a slut. Or means the world shouldn't take you seriously.

Take this tweet, for example:

Emma Watson: "Feminism, feminism... gender wage gap... why oh why am I not taken seriously... feminism... oh, and here are my tits!"

The last time I checked, flashing your tits doesn't suddenly make accomplishments and progress suddenly disappear. Or am I missing something here? I mean, other than the fact that Julia Hartley-Brewer, author of this enlightening tweet, is so, so misinformed.

In case you missed my article from two weeks ago, here's the gist: female sexuality is perfectly normal, OK, and women shouldn't feel guilty for being sexual.

The whole point of feminism is to empower women to do whatever the f*ck they want, right? Or is that just a nice sentiment we like to spread to make ourselves feel good? The truth of the matter is that a lot of "feminists" are hypocritical twats (yes, yes, the vagina is magical and strong but the slang terms are just so fun to use.

Women should, apparently, fight for equality, for rights, for the freedom to choose to do what they wish--but that's it! Don't actually act on those ideals because then everything you've done for feminism is null and void.

What Watson brought to light with this photo is that women can't have their cake and eat it too. You either speak feminist ideals, or you live them. Guess which one is going to make more of a difference? Hint: actions speak louder than words.

Free those nipples, ladies, and don't give a f*ck what bitter, "feminist," Twitter personas have to say about it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
