Just to be clear, feminism isn't about not being attracted to beautiful women. It's perfectly human to admire someone's beautiful features, regardless of anyone's gender. Feminism is about respect, equality, rejecting prescribed roles and limitations placed on gender, and acknowledging and addressing privilege and patriarchal systems of society.

Notice none of those things means you can't still like the sight of boobs, butts, legs, abs, biceps, or whatever gets you excited. It does mean that you shouldn't reduce someone's value to those things, nor should your excitement about seeing someone's beautiful physical attributes become a problem for them, like if you harass them or catcall them over it, or worse.

But Emma is well respected, not only as an actress but as an advocate, and she's there to represent a great cause to the UN. They can respect her and her work and message and still think she's a knockout at the same time. They're not mutually exclusive, and that's a pretty relevant part of feminism, divorcing worth as a person from sexuality and attractiveness.

🤷 they may only get one chance to look at Emma Watsons ass in real life... They took it. Doesn't make it right... I'm just saying.

A true gentleman knows how to appreciate a beautiful person without giving themselves whiplash.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

I doubt they are gentlemen but it is a picture. Pictures make people look bad very easily.

Or a restraining order.

I don’t blame them, she’s built like a Greek statue. A man with an equivalent ass would receive just as much attention. At least from me.

I challenge anyone, regardless of gender, to be sitting on that panel and not taking a quick peek.

To me, Emma Watson has got to be one of the most beautiful people on this planet. And she's also very pretty.

But yes, the irony here isn't lost on anyone.

Honestly, after watching her grow up through HP, I can't help but feel little sister energy from her.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 12 hours ago

Aw, see? Now you gone and made it weird.

Not bad, but still. 😅

I wanted to make a joke, but I found one of the more unhinged tumblr accounts when looking for a picture, and I believe sharing it is far more important than my joke.

Ohdearfuck.

"Perhaps Nintendo got a little startled by the reaction to Luigi’s crotch bulge, so they wanted to tone it down?"

What.

"I should do a post about the Football spin-off games."

Said the voices in their head. 😶

me, hiding a pool noodle down my pants

"What? Staaaaaahp! 😩"

Admit it, you did it too. Nobody would've noticed where the politicians were looking if they hadn't gone back and paused.

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Especially since the video shows they weren't staring at her ass. You actually have to pause the right frame to get that misleading shot.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 22 points 17 hours ago

What?

Oh! Ah, . . yes! Mmm hmm!

Yep. Yes, ah, . . . Yes it is.
