Emma Watson was voted the top feminist of the year in a poll by Ms. Foundation for Women and Cosmopolitan for her work towards gender equality with the He for She program as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador.
“We celebrate all feminists every day, but today we’re giving a hat tip to celebrities who are helping to promote women’s equality. Every celebrity on the list has either embraced the term ‘feminist,’ spoken out for women’s equal rights, or battled against sexist oppression.” – Teresa Younger, Ms. Foundation President and CEO
The top 10 feminists, in order, are Emma Watson, Laverne Cox, Rachel Maddow, Beyoncé, Cher, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Meryl Streep, Mindy Kaling and Ann Curry.
And than people look strange at me when i say as a man that she is one of my biggest role models..
Yeah for Emma! She totally deserves it!
She totally deserves it.
Plus, as she said, gender is a spectrum and not two opposing ideals.
I think her UN speech back in September made it quite clear what she thinks about the topic.
Again, she totally deserves it.
It’s funny how it’s still HeForShe, though, when the main source of “sexist oppression” seen in the West these days is directed at men.

Go Emma!!! :). She was also voted Hero of the Year by Digital Spy. She truly deserves it, as it takes a lot of bravery to stand in front of the world and make a speech addressing many problems with it regarding equality and being part of a movement to fix these issues and make equality a reality, especially with
many either in denial or wanting inequality to continue to benefit from it or just
to spite other people. Keep fighting the good fight Emma. We are with you every step of the way.
