Emma Watson on Feminism & Authenticity

This intelligent and talented person recently stood before some really intimidating people and spoke about what she's passionate about: gender equality. In her speech Emma says, "For the record, feminism is, by definition, the belief that men and women should have equal rights." She discusses why she's speaking up not only for women, but for men also. Equality is about a kinder and more supportive world for everyone.  Emma would like to remind people feminism isn't about us against them. It's about coming together for everyone who suffers because of inequality, but especially for those women that live in places where violent and traumatic incidences are still the norm. Below is an inspiring quote she gave awhile ago that helps me to see that getting the courage to step up to that podium was part of an on going journey in self-acceptance.
