Naturally, her speech drew the usual, predictable attacks including anti-feminist rants, death messages and an anonymous threat to release nude photos of her onto the internet, which proved empty.

I had no idea she was French.
Pardon my ignorance but one is British French like one is French Canadian?
Speaking English is the accent British or French?

@Silver_Lining Said

I had no idea she had any French background. I've just looked and she was born there but her parents are both British and she lived there until she was 5. I would consider her accent to be British and I never hear anyone say British French (not in the same way as French Canadian anyway).

@boxer Said

I completely agree, though to be honest, I have no idea who she is.

@Tacna Said

she was one of the main child actors of the Harry Potter movie series - gotten pretty hot as an adult. don't know much else about her though, so maybe others can fill you in.

and normally my captialization here would be better, but for some reason tfs no longer allows me to use the shift on my phone, so unless autocorrect takes care of it, I have no choice lol.

@DiscordTiger Said

More points, dude, you need them. Then the shifty all caps warning goes away.

@Tacna Said

lol thanks. I actually didn't mind the warning, but now it not only issues the warning, but erases my capital letter as well. the tfs grammar police has gotten brutal!

British / French actress Emma Watson has been listed on Time's 100 Most Influential People List for her contribution to the HeForShe movement.

Watson launched the UN initiative last year calling for men to join with women to fight gender inequality and impressed everybody, telling men that "It's your issue too".

Naturally, her speech drew the usual, predictable attacks including anti-feminist rants, death messages and an anonymous threat to release nude photos of her onto the internet, which proved empty. Of these attacks she said "If they were trying to put me off, they did the opposite."

She's a gutsy girl is our Emma. Time's recognition of her stand is a worthy accolade and one she deserves. I think we're going to hear a lot more from her in the future.

Perhaps she can give sexism a little Finite Incantatum spell

@yami Said

Same here, I hope the other 99 women on the list are not that obscure.
But, she spoke on behalf of the UN, so that must mean something.
But then again, so did Ginger Spice.
Emma Watson...is she an actress?

She plays Hermione in Harry Potter

@boxer Said

Thanks. I've got to admit that I couldn't get into those movies, so I don't think I've seen a single one of them all the way through.

And, since Kanye West and Vladimir Putin are also on the list, I'm not sure exactly how much of a compliment it is to be there at all.
