  1. i totally agree with everything in the 15 y/o boy's piece on feminism...and maybe in our lifetime, it will not just be equal gender rights, but human rights. human rights are everyone, one for one and one for all. humanity cannot progress until all are equal, regardless of gender, race, religion, etc. a very well-written piece indeed.

  2. i have never been a fan of using celebrities such as actors, singers, athletes, etc, as role models because after all, the are human just like the rest of us non-celebrities, but if i was ever to change my mind and pick one famous person to aspire to, it would definitely be the inspiring, intelligent, classy, and oh so talented Miss Watson. she can do no wrong in my book. keep up the great work, Emma, and we'll see you on whatever stage you choose.

  3. i'm not the biggest fan of the UN as a whole, but there are UN programs that i approve of and would like to see more celebrities get involved with, as they bring much more exposure and spotlight than would normal people. face it, famous people do get our attention, for better or for worse.

     

    i do like the UN Women Ambassador Initiative, as it brings world-wide recognition to women's rights and equality, especially to third-world cultures, where women are treated like dogs in hugely male-dominated societies, such as fundemental muslim countries. there will never be peace, prosperity, and progress in the arab world, unless women can take off those horrid body-covering burka things by choice, drive, vote, choose their husband, etc etc etc...things we in the West take for granted.

     

    i am a guy, and quite thankful that i live in a society where women are respected, educated, make good money in good jobs, can choose their boyyfriend/husband/partner whatever, can do pretty much whatever they set their mind to, and i still can't believe that men held down women for like damn near 10,000 years of human history, and just since the 60s basically, have women achieved huge gains in equality, at least in the West. i have a poster on one of my game-room walls of the WW2 Rosie the Riveter, and my hat's off to you women. hell yeahhh!!!

     

    i dream of the day when there are no longer any such things as 'women rights', but gender-free human rights. all humans, regardless of gender/religion/ethnicity/sexual orientation, desreve the rights to life, liberty, and the peronal pursuits of happiness, the freedom of CHOICE...because in the end, it is all about choice.

  4. Angelina Jolie was a UN Goodwill Ambassador for several years or more, she also supports UNICEF, as did another favorite actress of mine, the beautiful old-Hollywood star, Audrey Hepburn. Audrey spent the last few years of her life, traveling third-world impoverished countries, supporting UNICEF and UN programs. i commend Emma in supporting this cause.
