    Sexist, feminist-women should be ashamed of their total lack of solidarity and empathy toward men and boys

    Circumcision does not significantly impact a man's life. The same is not true for FGM. Circumcision may have some minor medical benefits. There are no benefits of any kind in FGM.

     

    Destiny was just named "best game of the year". Destiny is all about shooting and killing. The typical gamer is young and male. Bungie is giving them what they want.

     

    I know of very few countries where military service is mandatory. I think in many less developed countries people may see it as a privilege, a secure job.  Yes, it's mostly men that die in conflicts. Not because women are "protected from the dangers of combat roles" but because they have been excluded. The only sexism here is denying women the chance to serve in combat roles.

     

    "Hidden fact" = conspiracy theory.

    A page-turner? AGAIN?

     

    It's a common expression people use to describe a book, or in this case a script, that they can't put down. I suppose she could try to come up with another way to say it for every good book she reads, but why bother?

    More hot air. Your examples of sexism against men don't even make sense.

     

     

    drafted in wars, killed or wounded... Most militaries are dominated and controlled by men. In the US, women were banned from combat roles until a couple years ago. The UK has yet to remove the ban. And this is womens' fault?

     

    The Rwanda genocide did not just target men. The goal was to kill all the Tutsi - men, women and children. Nearly every woman that survived was raped.

     

    enslaved in military service - see above

     

    Men have a shorter life expectancy in general. Part may be biology, but also men are more likely to die from many of the leading causes of death.

     

    I hope you are not trying to equate circumcision with female genital mutilation.

     

    The typical gamer (of violent games) is male. The target audience of violent movies is male. If males didn't want the violence in these media, it would not be there.

    Emma does not look like a hypocrite. There is nothing in any of this that should reflect badly on her. Or her PR team.

     

    Contrary to what Jonny is spewing out, the story about sweatshop workers is only 5 or 6 days old. The photoshoot was long before that. Coincidentally, the Elle issue also came out about 6 days ago. Coincidence? With the garbage the daily mail prints, I doubt it.

     

    There were stories about the Fawcett shirts before that, but it was about who would or wouldn't wear them - Cameron, etc. Unless Emma went back to Divination class, there is no way she or her PR saw this coming.

     

     

    By the way, here is the latest statement from Fawcett about the allegations, bolding is mine.

     

    Dear Fawcett members and supporters,

    We would like to update you on the situation with regards to the allegations made in this week’s Mail on Sunday that our Whistles produced ‘this is what a feminist looks like’ t-shirts may not have been made in line with the ethical standards that Fawcett would require of any product bearing our name.

    We have been working around the clock to investigate these allegations since we first became aware of them on Saturday and are pleased to confirm that we have today seen expansive and current evidence from Whistles that the CMT factory in Mauritius they used to produce our ‘this is what a feminist looks like’ T-shirt conforms to ethical standards. We have been particularly pleased to receive evidence that:

    - 100% of workers are paid above the government-mandated minimum wage and all workers are paid according to their skills and years of service.
    - The standard working week is 45 hours, and workers are compensated (at a higher rate of pay) for any overtime worked.
    - There is a high retention of staff and employees are offered training and development.
    - An audit into the CMT factory was carried out in October 2014 by an independent not-for-profit organisation and this did not reveal any material concerns on the working conditions, the welfare or the health and safety of workers.
    - Workers are able to join a union and there is a union presence in the factory.

    The evidence we have seen categorically refutes the assertion that the ‘this is what a feminist looks like’ T-shirts produced by Whistles were made in a sweatshop.

     

     

    As for your other nonsense Jonny, the lie about pole-dance lessons is yours, the rest is your disappointments and delusions.

    :rolleye0012:  Or you could watch the original I posted on the main website.

     

     

    I was hoping someone would post a capture in HD but I hadn't seen anything, so I posted mine. I only get BBCA in SD, and it's kind of glitchy at times. There was also a joke about since the winners were already known, they were going to add excitement to the show by killing off one of the winners at the end, chosen by television audience vote. Rather poor taste I think, but it got a big laugh from Emma and the others. Unfortunately, lots of "glitchy" right in the middle of it.

    where are all the original members !?

    This forum opened 27 October 2010 but I like to think of it as a continuation of the old Emma Watson forum. From digging on the net, I believe the old EW forum started on 1 November 2002. Before that I think there was a forum on Fan City that was about Rupert and Emma and they had the idea to start an Emma specific forum.

     

    I started visiting the forum in 2004 and finally registered in May 2005 (I've always been dookdookdook). So, the beginnings were all before my time. I don't know if there is anyone left from the earliest days. Sadly, many of the posters in this topic haven't been here for months.
