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.

It's not disrespectful to look, and that's all we can see these people doing from these two frames. Hell, it's just about involuntary to take a glance.

It would be disrespectful to stare or make comments/rude gestures, but I doubt that's what's happening here.

[-] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

goddamn, I'm amazed by the reasonableness of these comments.

[-] EarlGrey@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 weeks ago

I thoroughly support advancing the causes of feminism and women's rights across the world, and would happily listen actively to what she has to say.

But also Emma is pretty fucking hot. And that fit looks good on her.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Also depending on the person they may not even be looking for aesthetic or sexual reasons. My paranoid ass involuntarily sizes everyone up for potential fights because I'm that fun type of paranoid.

[-] Leather@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

She's a moving object, our eyes are drawn to movement. She's on the a stage. Most people in the room would be looking at her.

[-] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Kind of a LEMMY question. When I scanned comments in Voyager, this comment had 2X upvotes the top comment had. How is that? Is there a setting on my end that instructs the app to show most upvoted comment at the top?

And to the topic, I picked this thread of comments because, yeah.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

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 3 points 3 weeks 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.

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

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. 😶

Just treat people equally. That's it. Thats all anyone has to do. Male, female, any eye color, skin color, hair color, tall, short and anything in between. Just give all the same baseline and judge based on attitude and actions from there.

[-] tresspass@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. Why can't we just look at everyone's asses equally? Smh

[-] ghen@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly this is the answer. You can look and also be respectful to the person at the same time. That is what both feminists and others want. Just not the bigots, they don't know what respect is.

[-] MJKee9@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

That's my philosophy.

No. It's simply egalitarianism.

Feminism is focused one a singular aspect, which in itself can destoy what it seeks to do by placing the topic itself as seperated from all others.

I mean yes, it's necessary because there are severe issues, yet the overarching attitude I often observe when singular aspects of egalitarianism are grabbed to focus on get quickly out of sync and even turn into what they fight.

I've seen sexist feminists who are not aware that they are sexist. Driven into it by the frustration of inequality which is slow moving and sometimes even moves backwards. Frustration can corrupt.

Gender inequality is a symptom of the broken societies we live in. Alleviating symptoms doesn't cure the core problem.

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

🤷 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.

[-] meyotch@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] ButteryMonkey@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Bunch of gross old men in charge of things are gross: more at 11.

I’m glad you dudes are waking up to our reality tho :) welcome! We bake cookies! (Sometimes, if we feel like it.)

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Well...

Do you really believe that when you're, say, 70 or so, that you won't have sexual desires anymore?

I'm sorry but it's weird to me that when we see a group of grand mothers all together gawking and drooling over a young muscle pool boys, it's all cute and yeah baby, go for it! When a group of guys do it, they're old creeps?

It's a double standard, of course. And yes, by the time that you're 70 you too will in part still feel like you're twenty and if you see a young beautiful woman walk by, you WILL look, maybe even stare. If said young and beautiful woman is also world famous and dressed in a nice and accentuating dress... I mean, come on, really?

I get it, this is about feminism but ffs we're all still human. Everyone and their neighbor would gush over Emma Watson but just because btheae are a bunch of older guys its creepy?

Just because these guys are obviously not the target demographic for Emma Watson (or are they? Loads of women are into that too, talking from experience) doesn't mean that they don't get to enjoy her looks by looking

If anything you want to talk about why there are only old guys there

[-] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

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 6 points 3 weeks 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.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Lotta guys involved for a speech about feminism
