Does this mean no more noble savage/evil white man movies or is the tribe just messing with us?

Tarantino's gonna go broke.

Dang, respect for Emma Watson. It's funny, the other day I was reading a list of Hollywood celebrity's political affiliations (don't ask), surprisingly enough, there's actually quite a few that are Republican, at least more than expected. Anyways, she was on there listed as a Democrat, first thought: "Of fvcking course she is." Then....I read this story, and what do you know, sometimes life surprises the fvcking $hit out of you.

Sorry to be cynical, but this is transparently just "throwing a bone" in efforts to enlist more men into discriminatory feminist causes. When women start speaking out against discriminatory antimale legal treatment, discriminatory govt research/grant/funds expenditure and feminist victimologies of false "oppression" such as bogus wage gap and glass ceiling complaints, then I'll pay attention. Until then it's just calculated noise towards more political benefit for feminists/women.

Here comes the strong, female lead (Emma Watson) to rescue men from themselves! Thx but no thx, Emma. The "Heforshe" campaign or whatever other feminist crusade she is on has the same underlying message as all the rest: you go girl!

I agree with both of you, but at least it's a start. In the past, you couldn't even get a mention. It's gotten so blatant now that you can't help but see it.

I agree. It's true males are negatively and erroneously stereotyped by the media/society of course. But when the term "male gender roles and stereotypes are harmful.." is used, it's still feminist speak. Males and females should have roles and even stereotypes. The question is just what those roles should and shouldn't, which this article misses .

Like you said, this just looks like a slicker and more palatable way to get more men to fully enlist in feminist causes. Had this article simply asserted the media portrays males negatively it'd be one thing, but to present it as "gender roles and stereotypes hurt men too.." reveals the still feminist slant.

Right. You even bring up this subject to most women (and Men), and their first reaction would be "Huh? What are you talking about?" Then you could spend 20 minutes explaining it to them, then it would still be a 50/50 chance that they'd think you were crazy. Her speaking out about something like this, is a lot different than me running my mouth on something like FB, or posters on this site complaining about it, which I've seen quite a bit of.

One step at a time. It's not all going to change over night.

Not sure if you read her speech, but I did and it seemed to be more of the same old BS: men should be more sensitive, women should be more masculine, pay gap blah blah, pro-abortion etc.

No I didn't. Read the article, didn't go past that. But this^ doesn't sound very heartwarming.
