Beauty and the Beast was the cartoon equivalent of Stockholm syndrome and marriage by abduction not exactly feminist approved'
You should read the original work, its better in that respect but also manages to be way more fucked up
and
Amanda Palmer is a feminist and she stripped naked on stage singing a song she wrote called dear daily mail after their review of her in the glastonbury music festival was entirely about her nip slip instead of her music (and she's a damn good musician) I'll post the lyrics and story here

dear daily mail,
it has come to my recent attention
that me recent appearance at glastonbury festivals kindly received a mention
i was doing a number of things on that stage up to and including singing songs (like you do…)
but you chose to ignore that and instead you published a feature review of my boob
dear daily mail,
there’s a thing called a search engine: use it!
if you’d googled my tits in advance you’d have found that your photos are hardly exclusive
in addition you state that my breast had escaped from my bra like a thief on the run
you do you know that it wasn’t attempting to just take in the RARE British sun?
dear daily mail,
it’s so sad what you tabloids are doing
your focus on debasing women’s appearances ruins our species of humans
but a rag is a rag and far be it from me to go censoring anyone OH NO
it appears that my entire body is currently trying to escape this kimono….
dear daily mail,
you misogynist pile of twats
i’m tired of these baby bumps, vadge flashes, muffintops
where are the newsworthy COCKS?
if iggy or jagger or bowie go topless the news barely causes a ripple
blah blah blah feminist blah blah blah gender shit blah blah blah
OH MY GOD NIPPLE
dear daily mail,
you will never write about this night
i know that because i’ve addressed you directly i’ve made myself no fun to fight
but thanks to the internet people all over the world can enjoy this discourse
and commune with a roomful of people in london who aren’t drinking kool-aid like yours
and though there be millions of people who’ll accept the cultural bar where you have it at
there are plenty of others who’re perfectly willing to see breasts in their natural habitat
i keenly anticipate your highly literate coverage of upcoming tours
dear daily mail,
UP YOURS.

Are you kidding? Seriously? She took that damn part because it's a freakin paycheck for her and a BIG one too. All these liberals (and you can toss in feminists too), are just as capitalistic as conservatives. To them, if they have the $$, they could care less about any cause. Sure, they'll yap about this or that (Madonna, Ashley Judd), but in the end, they just want the money so they can live how they feel like.
AL Gore is a classic example of this - yaps all the time about how we should save the environment and crap, yet he lives in a 20,000 square foot home, drives SUV's everywhere he goes, and flies on private jets to attend environmental rallies, complaining about how we're polluting the planet.
Emma Watson is no different. She's all about the money and publicity. She claims to be about feminist causes, yet she'll portray any character on screen as long as they pay her.
I don’t think so, she expresses feminism and how she supports it in the Vanity Fair photo because she is okay with showing her cleavage, which shouldn’t be a problem to show anyways yet it’s still sexualized, and because Beauty and the Beast is about how looks don’t matter, she was able to make him fall for her and crack his mean shell and she realized how sweet he was, and she fell in love. In my opinion.
No, feminism is gender equality and the thought that women are free to express themselves in any way without being torn down by others.
You have got to be the most oblivious person ever. It’s like you just consistently miss the point of everything.

She's young and she is finding her way, expressing views that feel important to her. Getting everything right is not an expectation that any of us live by. We all do some dumb ass things in our lives that may not be consistent with our core beliefs of ourselves. I would say cut her some slack. I don't think that having to bare your chest for the media is empowerment, I think it is pandering to the kind of culture that a feminist would want to change. However, I believe that too many people are jumping on her just to score a point against feminism, which is a popular thing to do at the moment.
Would this one photo shoot negate everything else she has done and might do towards feminist goals? No, not at all. We all have moments of hypocrisy as we grow up because our views on all things are refined through experience and education.I'm still trying to figure out how people think it was okay for her to have money stored in certain off-shore accounts to avoid paying taxes, but the people shit a brick about others that had their money in the same places. Apparently if you're a hypocrite spokesperson for feminism, you get a pass on everything. So this is no surprise.
So the lesson should have been, looks are all that matters, like in other Disney films? Remember CInderella's ugly stepsisters?
Perhaps you would prefer she had gone for Gaston...I think one of the points of feminism is about having a choice. - and i believe she chose to do the photoshoot and to star in that movie.
Not really. Feminism is about equality and choice. A woman can be feminist and choose to cover up to any degree she is comfortable with. A woman can be feminist and choose any role she wants in a relationship, from dominant to submissive.
I doubt it maybe she's just expressing whatever emotions she's feeling or trying to make a statement about this or that or women rights and nuclear weapons and arms dealing or the drug wars
Yawn, these questions on feminism are getting boring and old.
Who cares.She is making money tho! I don't think she really cares.
Ugly feminists are jealous.
Idgaf she's a babe she has my support regardless
nope
