Modern feminism is having a momentary identity crisis, and its all over whether Emma Watson, an outspoken celebrity womens’ rights advocate, can keep her feminist credentials while also showing her boobs in a magazine.
It turns out that while bra-burning is acceptable, and storming religious institutions bare-breasted with messages painted over your nipples is roundly encouraged, as is putting a ladyparts-inspired cap on your head, wearing all sorts of vagina-themed jewelry and even the occasional giant vagina costume, pretty, mostly topless pictures are very problematic.
Some feminists were not very supportive of Watson’s fashion photos, which show her in a short cape that just barely covers her nipples, and accompany a story about how Watson “grew up” in the movie-making industry.
They claimed that the racy shoot was Watson appealing to the male gaze, and that she was giving into society’s pressure to look perfect in order to advance her career.

Other feminists immediately fought back, claiming that you can still be feminist, even if you show your breasts because part of feminism is giving women the choice to be sex objects if they want to.

The controversy went on for hours on Wednesday, as feminists hashed out a line in the sand for topless photographs. Eventually, it seems, the consensus was that they weren’t happy about the shoot, but that Emma was free to do whatever she wanted.
Then, Emma Watson used a quote about feminism from Alan Rickmann in a social media post and the Internet firestorm began again, this time about something entirely different.
Fortunately for Emma, she seems oblivious to the controversy.
