    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.

      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.

      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.

      They’re staring at something in front of / past her. Or it was shopped. These are smart, camera-aware men. Just another image created to instil hatred at men for feminists to rage on. Had it been about women hating on men, they would have been triumphant. All whilst men have to take whatever’s given by these chronically online ill-informed women otherwise such women are complaining the men can’t accept it.

      Go check out c/womensstuff for such loonies!

    Some people just haven’t had the experience they just wish and wish but nobody will play with them. Others just play too much. I wish people would just be more open. Imagine a world where you could hear everyone’s thoughts like in the movies, but you would have to live with that in real life and so would everyone else.

    You would have to become very open to everyone’s real imaginative parts. Everyone would also have to be more conservative with their thoughts near others.

    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.

      Okay, but shouldn’t her speech about feminism be the reason these men are watching her, rather than her appearance?

      Yes, she’s beautiful, I get that. But in this case, she’s speaking about feminism and eaquality, and the first reaction is, “Oh wow, she looks good,” or “Damn, that ass.”

      I think that’s disrespectful and undermines the message of her speech. She’s not there as an actress, but as an advocate for women’s rights.

        Arguably, the meme maker is the one framing a still picture as a sexualized moment and thus is the one creating the sexist narrative from a still that we don’t have the context on.

          Ahh I miss that 4chan meme. This whole thread is and it applies to about 95% of what’s posted on social media now. Back then it was Markov chains doing the heavy lifting, now GPTs.

          From looking down the accounts of people who actually post memes in /c/politics, their whole accounts look AI generated to blatantly manipulate users.

      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

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

      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.

        One doubts you get a position of public prominence if you have a tendency to stare, kinda off-putting to the general public.
