Showing Original Post only (View all)4chan to Emma Watson: You speak out on gender equality, we release nude photos [View all]
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/09/4chan-responds-to-emma-watsons-feminist-speech-at-un-with-photo-countdown-clock/Over the weekend, Harry Potter actress Emma Watson delivered an impassioned speech aimed at ending gender inequality to which online hacking group 4chan responded by creating a site called Emma You Are Next, which alleges to count down the time until a 4chan user will release nude photographs of her.
Shortly after her graduation from Brown University, Watson was named UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. Her speech on Saturday marked the first time she spoke to the assembly as a whole, and she did so on behalf of the HeForShe campaign.
HeForShe is an effort, in her words, to try and galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for gender equality. And we dont just want to talk about it, but make sure it is tangible.
The more I have spoken about feminism, the more I have realized that fighting for womens rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating, Watson said. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop. For the record, feminism, by definition, is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.
