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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
