"PUBLIC HEALTH PRIZE...for investigating whether it is mentally hazardous for a human being to own a cat."

Emma Watson launching a UN campaign for gender equality and inviting men to join #heforshe

http://www.upworthy.com/her-voice-might-tremble-but-emma-watsons-message-is-strong-and-clear?g=3&c=ag

Gender equality is a human rights issue and you can show your support here

(I don't know how to strike through text)

...whatever works... yay emma...

... still no, but hey I'm not the target audience here. Whatever gets cross-gender support I guess but it just feels so apologetic.

Should've known better than to look at this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/11113040/Why-men-need-more-feminists-like-Emma-Watson.html really trying to 'help' the cause... and comments LOL. Oh god, the comments.

never read the comments

never read the Telegraph?

probably also a valid statement

Most times I just read the headline then head straight to the comments.

Have also been guilty of this

Done, thank for bringing this up.

I read the headline only and the write comments.
