Feminism exists to give everyone the same opportunities and basic rights typically granted solely to straight, wealthy white males. Modern and early feminists alike fought for these rights and “while acknowledging these limitations (sexual orientation, race, and personality), both groups of peace workers recognized the significance of building identities for their respective communities through embracing principles of nonviolence and respect for diversity” (Pois). Feminism is a movement for those who are not born with everything handed to them, and for those who are forced to fight for everything they have. Anyone placed in a lesser position, seen as not meeting the expectations set before them, or otherwise disprivileged is represented through feminism. Feminists from each generation have aided in the development of women’s rights to create a better world for themselves and those around them.

However, as time went by Canada began to evolve and the perspective of its people began to change. One could argue that certain events took place that were pivotal steps in accomplishing gender equality.

Feminism, what is it? And how does it affect our society today? Feminist Emma Watson’s moving speech ‘Gender equality is your issue to’ tells us feminism isn't just a thought, it’s a true problem. Feminism is a topic known to many, but rejected by most of society. Watson shows her audience true emotion (Pathos), dedication, and love throughout her speech. She gives a clear aspect of feminism, making her listeners engaged into the topic, wanting to know more (Logos). She invites others into her ideas to ensure that she does not stand alone in this feminist movement (Ethos). Emma Watson is a true feminist trying to make a difference, persuading the audience, pouring her heart out, and believing in the world to join her in her free community.

Though the media has maligned feminism as a drive for selfish fulfillment by female professionals, those who stand to gain the most are actually those who have the least.

When people think of the word feminist they tend to think of a strong-minded, man-hating individual. Emma then implores her audience to understand the word’s true meaning and why she feels it necessary to classify herself as a feminist. “…I think it is right that I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think -- I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and the decisions that will affect my life.

In light of the increasing attempts to regulate embedded advertisements on YouTube, many YouTubers have taken steps to boost transparency for their viewers. Moreover, such YouTubers have shown that loyal fans are not deterred by obvious sponsorships as long as they are done right—that is, while maintaining the usual, expected levels of creativity. Emma Blackery, a YouTuber involved in the Oreo lick race controversy, now denotes each of her sponsored ads with “[AD]” in the title and sponsorship notices in the first line of the description, in the beginning of the video, and in the top right of the screen for the majority of the video (see Figure 2). In the comments section of her video WORST TRAILER EVER!! Best Fiends: Forever [AD], Blackery writes, “I urge you to see each sponsored video as its own entity, and not dismiss it purely for the fact it's sponsored.

Watson commences her speech by clarifying what it means to be a women’s rights activist. Recognizing that many people misunderstand the meaning and idea behind feminist movements, she defines “feminism” to her male audience as “the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.” The definition is a logical and crucial addition to her speech because it helps her audience develop the correct understanding of feminism. Her speech is more persuasive and the purpose sharper when her audience understands what she is advocating for and senses her passion and knowledge in the field of gender equality.

Last year in September Emma Watson, an UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, launched an new campaign called HeForShe to stop gender inequality. Emma’s speech became quite popular, as it shed light on the topic in a new understanding. In her speech Emma invited men to participate in the campaign as well. “Men—I would like to take this opportunity to extend your formal invitation. Gender equality is your issue too.” - stated Watson. What makes her speech different from other feminists, is involving both men and women in the issue, and capturing more people to participate. Also, young woman explained feminism in a new unique way. She mentioned couple times, that word “feminism” gone in the wrong root nowadays, and often associated with man-hating, which
