Well see ya. Harry Potter and her cameo in This Is The End is such an extensive resume that I think she's earned some time to rest on her laurels.

My Week with Marilyn
The Bling Ring
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Noah
Regression
Colonia
The Circle
Beauty and the Beast

Yea, she's just been sitting on her as since doing 8 HP movies.

I would let her do all the feminist stuff that she cares for.........


AFTER we get through playing hide the arrogant American worm and she makes my sammich.

She sort of has the luxury of taking time off to read or whatever now that her good looks made her millions from the repressive patriarchal system - a system she now has the luxury to resent at her leisure.

oh frick off you pretentious POS

I just don't understand how a young woman who has everything go her way career wise, obviously knows she's hot and flaunts it to make money, takes up the cause that the world is treating women unfairly and men have all the advantages.

Because she's not self-centered enough to think US or British women who have it pretty good are the only women in the world.

Her campaign is a pretty big international one (her UN presentation was solid) and fights some pretty real atrocities committed against women like genital mutilation that's still acceptable in some cultures/countries. Or women not allowed to attend school in those areas. For a long time these issues were never recognized on a national level because it wasn't a "men's issue". That's just a reality. Her campaign actually does a lot more to try to engage everyone in paying attention to those issues instead of the frick Men shite you hear from your typical stateside "feminist".

This isn't your OMG WEARING MY JEGGINS IN SCHOOL IS MY RIGHT type "feminism". Or "You're a horrible woman for not voting for Hillary" bunch. I wish people wouldn't lump the two in together.

Maybe her and J-Law can get together and talk about how they are super duper rich, but because they are women they aren't super-super-2x-penis-super-duper rich.

Well if I irritated you that was worth the 5 seconds.

She is a fricking actress whose only accomplishment is pretending to be someone else. Worship her all you want dumbass.

Yep, when people hear feminism, they tend to always think of US hippies and shite. There's plenty of good feminist causes in the 3rd world.
