In the honor of brilliant young actress Emma Watson's epic #HeForShe speech at the United Nations (that you can watch HERE if you've missed it), and to keep the momentum going, I thought that I'd share with you a few hilarious stands from inventive people.
Gender inequality is still today a worldwide current issue that affects women's lives on a daily basis, as well as men's.
To our male friends, I ask: do you wanna be perceived as the insensitive, systematically oppressive and emotionally repressed, sex-obsessed gender by the generations to come? Don't you think that is a very limiting and reductive cliche of the male community?
Do you wanna keep wondering if your girlfriend/wife/daughter/sister/female friend will be safe on her way home?
Do you wanna teach your son or your daughter what he/she can or cannot wear/play with/do in order to be considered "appropriate", "decent", "attractive", or "manly"? That they cannot fully express themselves the way they wish because appearances matter most? That they should be held responsible for other people's reactions, bullying acts or sex crimes?
Do you want a pointless and unproductive "battle of the sexes" division of the world to go on forever with no positive results for either party?
Take a stand for a better world today, and in your daily behavior.
So without further ado, enjoy my
