The British star gave an interview where she reaffirmed her progressive position on the issues of a couple and self-realization
Emma Watson has distinguished herself in recent years for being one of the media figures most committed to feminism and gender equality. In different public appearances, she has shown herself as an independent woman with ideals that many would qualify as progressive.
In this vein, the protagonist of the successful Harry Potter saga was interviewed by Teen Vogue about the new paradigms of romantic relationships and the position of women in avant-garde society.
Watson declared that any healthy relationship requires an honest dialogue between the people involved, to reach convenient agreements in which people benefit equally, he also pointed out that reaching that level of communion is not necessarily implicitly easy. , and said that especially those couples who have experienced unconventional practices such as role-playing and masochism tend to have better communication.
“I think relationships that don't necessarily follow traditional models require more communication and consent. It takes a real conversation and agreement about delegating tasks, works, and responsibility that you might not feel you need to do or should do if you had followed traditional stereotypes,” she told the fashion and lifestyle publication.
The idea that relationships are supposed to be easy, that everything is implicitly understood, and that you're meant to just understand each other, is bullshit. It is impossible!
In this long conversation between the English star and the American journalist Valerie Hudson, one of the authors of the book S- and world peace, topics such as gender discrimination and the masculine bias in language were addressed, as well as everyday actions that normally go unnoticed. , but they show a macho charge.
"Many of the healthiest relationships I've seen are between people of the same. because I think they have to sit down and agree on things," was one of the actress's statements in the interview where the origin of the relationship was also discussed. patriarchal society, the absence of labor rights for women, the repercussions of the global #MeToo movement, and environmental activism.
Emma also referred to herself in an interview, where she stated that she was "paired with herself", making it clear that it is not necessary to have a partner for self-actualization.
"I talked about how, in the run-up to my 30s, I felt this incredible sudden anxiety and pressure that I had to be married or have a mother or move into a house. And there was no word for that kind of subliminal message, anxiety, and pressure. I felt that it was developing (in me), I couldn't name it and I used the word 'self-partnered', he narrated the term that gave a lot to talk about at the end of the year.
"For me, it wasn't about coining a word: it was more that I needed to create a definition of something for which I felt there was no language. And it was very interesting because it really irritated some people! It was less because of me saying that than because of what it means: this idea that we need to reclaim language and space to express ourselves".
Emma Watson was surprised by her statements in which she admits a "slight fascination" towards s- practices outside the norm, such as masochism and the "kink" subculture, which refers, in the field of human s-, to unconventional practices.
In her role as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, Watson has placed special emphasis on the importance of improving education. In 2019, the also protagonist of the live action of "Beauty and the Beast", from the Disney House, took advantage of a talk organized in London to recommend content related to the female orgasm and how to achieve it, available on a website called MOGYes.
I wish I had discovered it sooner. Take a look at it, really,” she stated matter-of-factly at the time.
