Emma Watson Refused to Get Out of Bed After People Called Her a Bad Feminist

Emma Watson has revealed that she moped for an entire day and “struggled to get out of bed” after people critiqued her feminism.

Following her UN campaign #HeForShe, which urged men to back feminism, she was labelled a “First World Feminist” and attacked for her “white privilege”.

Watson said she found it difficult to accept the tide of criticism which is part and parcel of the in-fighting which plagues the social justice movement.

In an interview with the UK edition of Elle magazine, she said: “It’s difficult to hear criticism from people you consider your peers and who you believe are on the same side”.

“There is a level of criticism that comes with being an actress…but once you take a stance on something like feminism, that’s a completely different ball game.”

“There were a couple of days when I just didn’t want to come out from under the duvet.

“At first I wasn’t sure if I should allow myself to be upset by it, but then I realised I needed to give myself 24 hours to sulk, and then move forward.”

Watson also took on other hot social justice topics, including the contentious gender pay gap, claiming that “no one is being paid equally”.

She said: “Whether you are a woman on a tea plantation in Kenya, or a stockbroker on Wall Street, or a Hollywood actress, no one is being paid equally”.

The actress – who gave the interview as part of a press campaign for the upcoming Beauty and the Beast film – said that she wants to study feminism more before commenting further.

“I need to see and do a bit more first. It’s not like I have been reading this material for years and I don’t have an encyclopaedic knowledge,” she said.

Hopefully she'll realize they are nut jobs.

Maybe suckling on my cock will comfort her in her time of hurt feels.

I think she's doing an ok job, hasn't said anything outrageous. She has been more about bringing female rights up to male rights for certain things, than plugging a hateful anti-male line

Stay off the internet comment sections girl. It's well documented what these trolls can do to someone's mental well being, let alone a mega celebrity that everyone is all over. Just do your than.

So....what rights do males have that females don't?

I'm not sure that you could classify this as a 'right', but men are often paid more for the same work

It's been against the law in the United States since 1963

Agreed, the US is pretty robust in that respect. Poorer countries, not so good
