Watson also received backlash after her U.N. speech for entirely different reasons. There were those who felt that Watson’s speech (like Patricia Arquette’s recent, controversial Oscars night comments) wasn’t inclusive of all women. This is all part of a larger and fairly contentious divide in the current feminist movement. During today’s Q&A, Watson told moderator Greg James, “It was difficult, I really wanted to reach as many people as possible in a very short space of time.” Watson later specifically addressed those she left out:

HeForShe is about men coming to support women for femininity and for feminine qualities, because they are currently valued less by our society. Femininity needs to be embraced wherever its found, whether it be found in a man or a woman or a non-conforming gender person. Wherever it’s found we need to value it.

I’m also against racism, and homophobia, and classism, and ableism, and xenophobia, and all of it. My specific mandate is to advocate for women and girls, I’m the U.N. ambassador for women so I’m here to do that. But I also understand that these oppressions are interlocking, mutually reinforcing and that inter-sectionality is a really important word here. We just need to be supporting each other.

Watson lightened the mood a bit to talk about some of her struggles around feminism and dating. When speaking about a recent date (with whom? Harry? The other Harry?), Watson joked about grappling with entrenched gender roles:

I actually took a man out for dinner and I chose the restaurant and I offered to pay. It was really awkward and uncomfortable – I’m just going to say that. It was not going down well! He was just like “I’m not really sure about this.” It was making him a bit tetchy. But the cool thing about it was we were both willing to have the conversation about why it was awkward or why it was uncomfortable. We were able to have this dialogue “Well, it’s OK. I chose the restaurant as it is my favorite restaurant and I would love to pay. But next time you chose the restaurant and you pay.”

That’s a very gentle strike against the patriarchy, but we’ll take it. You can watch Watson’s entire Q&A session here.
