HeForShe - Gender Equality.

If you haven't watched this already.. please do. Emma Watson recently gave a speech at the UN regarding the He For She movement for gender equality. Not only does this speech talk about taking action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls, but also about freedom for both sexes. Gender equality is an issue for men as well. Men don't have the benefits of equality either, as men are also imprisoned by gender stereotypes. As Emma said, if men don't have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, then women won't feel compelled to be submissive. If men don't have to control, women don't have to be controlled. Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive and strong. Gender should instead be perceived as a spectrum, instead of being viewed as two sets of opposing ideals.
I am a feminist. And I am PROUD to call myself one. "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." Good job, Harry Potter girl.
