She said: “I have come across this argument. She said that on the issue of equal pay, society was “straggling behind, it’s just sort of stagnating at the moment”.Īnother audience member asked what Watson would say to people who claim women should be paid less because they are more likely to take maternity leave. “We need to be supporting each other, I hope they feel this is their movement, because it is.” Intersectionality is a really important word here. “My specific mandate is to advocate for women and girls but I also understand that these oppressions are interlocking, mutually reinforcing. “Femininity needs to be embraced wherever it is … whether it be in a man or a woman or a non-conforming gender person. She said: “He For She is about men coming to support women for femininity and for feminine qualities, because they are currently valued less in our society.

So, I guess I would say be brave enough to acknowledge that things are not there yet and support each other.” “We really need to support each other, we really do. “It’s not enough to ask men to come and support us. “Another anecdote is that a lot of the criticism I have had in my life, some of the harshest moments have been comments from other women. “It’s uncomfortable, it’s awkward to acknowledge there is a problem, but we need to understand we are complicit. “There’s this imbalance, this distortion that is just hindering our progress, it’s causing discord, violence and fear the world over. ![]() Speaking in support of the He For She campaign, she added: “Our society in general devalues the she, I mean the qualities that are associated with the feminine that are found in all of us. “I’d failed my Latin exam … I think I’d failed it a few times actually, maybe more than once, but let’s not go into that.” I remember her being thrilled when I got my first detention because she was really worried I was going to be a bit strait-laced. “She really encouraged me to be an individual. ![]() “I think she instilled in me in my teenage years when I was feeling very insecure, that what I was thinking, doing, saying, were infinitely more important than my physical appearance.
