In a recent interview with The Guardian, [Maisie] Williams criticized [Emma] Watson for her first world feminism, and...[said] a lot of what Emma Watson spoke about, I just think, ‘that doesn’t bother me.’ I know things aren’t perfect for women in the UK and in America, but there are women in the rest of the world who have it far worse...It’s not as though Williams doesn’t have a point... [But] quite honestly, you can support Watson’s U.N. speech, and her message, without turning your back on the feminist issues that are being raised in other countries, among other ethnicities. In fact...Watson’s message...was all about inclusivity — specifically the inclusion of males into a movement they have traditionally felt isolated from or threatened by. That might not be the most important issue in the world, but it is an issue, and to devalue it by comparing it to other women’s issues in the world that still have a long way to go does a disservice to the entire movement. - Kadeen Griffiths, Bustle Do you agree or disagree?
