Re HuffPost article "Emma Watson’s Boobs Prove Why We Still Need Feminism"
Not surprisingly, men through their institutions of media, industry and education have been able to demonize and trivialize women's rights and the term 'feminism'.
This has happened gradually. I do feel that a man as demonstrably sexist as Trump could not have gotten elected in the 60s or 70s when women were conscious of the need to respond to their cultural servitude.
We have become complacent. I hope that the new generations will sustain the battle for equality, a word now foreign to U.S citizens.

HuffPost article "Emma Watson’s Boobs Prove Why We Still Need Feminism"
[...] Emma Watson has revealed that our culture cannot handle a woman who is both “sexual AND serious,” to quote Naomi Wolf.
In one simple photo, Watson has inadvertently bared a troubling truth that our society still, in 2017, cannot fathom the possibility that women can both express themselves sexually AND express a desire for equality, simultaneously. It appears as though flaunting one’s figure and a feminist agenda are mutually exclusive.
Women can be smart and sexual and sassy and sophisticated and still want to make the same amount of money as their male counterparts, ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
