Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

What's extraordinary about the Brontë family is that three very, very talented people . . . well, four very talented and intelligent people [including their brother Branwell] just happened to be born into the same family. That's the most extraordinary thing about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>When you’re writing, is there any difference in the way that you hear 19th century characters as opposed to their counterparts in the 21st century?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took a long time for me to get the characters to speak in a way that I was happy with. I didn't want it to sound like other period dramas. We in the [television] industry have developed a language that is not necessarily authentic. We take everything from novels, and novels often use very heightened language. I wanted to try to re-create something that would both be accessible to modern ears and be a semblance of how they would have spoken in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I listened to some very old tapes of recordings of ordinary people speaking. The oldest ones I could get hold of were like a 100 years old. It's really tricky to imagine what it would have been like. Even if one could know, it probably wouldn't work on television because it would be so remote and alien to how we speak now. It's like all TV dramas. It's a bit of a balancing act between authenticity and creating something that the audience will be engaged by and understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_8606\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-8606\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/about/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2017/03/To-Walk-Invisible_24-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"Picture Shows (from left to right): Emily Bronte (CHLOE PIRRIE), Ann Bronte (CHARLIE MURPHY), and Charlotte Bronte (FINN ATKINS).

The area also has a very particular dialect.

What's extraordinary about the Brontë family is that three very, very talented people . . . well, four very talented and intelligent people [including their brother Branwell] just happened to be born into the same family. That's the most extraordinary thing about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>When you’re writing, is there any difference in the way that you hear 19th century characters as opposed to their counterparts in the 21st century?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took a long time for me to get the characters to speak in a way that I was happy with. I didn't want it to sound like other period dramas. We in the [television] industry have developed a language that is not necessarily authentic. We take everything from novels, and novels often use very heightened language. I wanted to try to re-create something that would both be accessible to modern ears and be a semblance of how they would have spoken in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I listened to some very old tapes of recordings of ordinary people speaking. The oldest ones I could get hold of were like a 100 years old. It's really tricky to imagine what it would have been like. Even if one could know, it probably wouldn't work on television because it would be so remote and alien to how we speak now. It's like all TV dramas. It's a bit of a balancing act between authenticity and creating something that the audience will be engaged by and understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_8606\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-8606\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/about/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2017/03/To-Walk-Invisible_24-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"Picture Shows (from left to right): Emily Bronte (CHLOE PIRRIE), Ann Bronte (CHARLIE MURPHY), and Charlotte Bronte (FINN ATKINS).

"content": "\u003cp>When the German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder died in 1982, François Ozon was 15 years old. Thirty-five years later the French director still acknowledges Fassbinder’s cinematic influence on his formative years. “When I discovered his films, I had the feeling that all of my problems were solved.

He was accused of plying a 13-year-old girl with champagne and part of a sedative pill, then raping her at actor Jack Nicholson’s house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polanski pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with a minor but fled Los Angeles on the eve of sentencing in 1989. Since then, his movements have been restricted to France, Poland and Switzerland.\u003cbr>\nThe victim has said she forgives the “Rosemary’s Baby” director and believes the case should end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polanski, 83, has long contended that he is the victim of judicial misconduct because a now-deceased judge who handled the case suggested in private remarks that he would renege on a plea bargain and sentencing agreement. It called for no more time behind bars for the director after he spent 42 days in a prison undergoing a diagnostic screening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Braun says Polanski has already served his sentence, in a part due to 335 days he spent in jail and under house arrest during a failed extradition effort from Switzerland in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense attorney pointed to statements by the original lawyers on the case saying the deceased judge had gone back on the sentence he initially promised the director. Braun said he was trying to get an assurance that the original agreement would be honored, either from the judge or prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanisee refused, and Gordon did not indicate how he would respond. The judge directed several pointed questions about the facts and evidence to Braun during the hearing, and the prosecutor said she thought Braun’s calculations about how much time Polanski has served were incorrect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Braun tried several strategies before and during the hearing but ultimately abandoned an effort to unseal 2010 testimony from the original prosecutor. He said the various approaches aimed to get enough of an assurance for Polanski to return to the United States, hopefully without the need to arrest the director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a unique case, and I’m trying to fashion a unique solution to resolve the case,” Braun said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanisee blamed Polanski for its strange procedural history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This case is 40 years old because the defendant fled,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Braun has given a lengthy recitation of allegations of past judicial misconduct in his court filings but said Monday he did not want to litigate those issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve ventured very far into those things you don’t want to get into,” Gordon told Braun, smiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge said that if Polanski wanted to address those allegations in court, it would seem that he would need to personally appear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polanski won an Academy Award for best director for his 2002 film “The Pianist” and was nominated for 1974’s “Chinatown” and 1979’s “Tess.”\u003cbr>\n___\u003cbr>\n can be reached at http://twitter.com/mccartneyAP .\u003c/p>\n\n",

He was accused of plying a 13-year-old girl with champagne and part of a sedative pill, then raping her at actor Jack Nicholson’s house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Since then, his movements have been restricted to France, Poland and Switzerland.\u003cbr>\nThe victim has said she forgives the “Rosemary’s Baby” director and believes the case should end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polanski, 83, has long contended that he is the victim of judicial misconduct because a now-deceased judge who handled the case suggested in private remarks that he would renege on a plea bargain and sentencing agreement. It called for no more time behind bars for the director after he spent 42 days in a prison undergoing a diagnostic screening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Braun says Polanski has already served his sentence, in a part due to 335 days he spent in jail and under house arrest during a failed extradition effort from Switzerland in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense attorney pointed to statements by the original lawyers on the case saying the deceased judge had gone back on the sentence he initially promised the director. Braun said he was trying to get an assurance that the original agreement would be honored, either from the judge or prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanisee refused, and Gordon did not indicate how he would respond. The judge directed several pointed questions about the facts and evidence to Braun during the hearing, and the prosecutor said she thought Braun’s calculations about how much time Polanski has served were incorrect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Braun tried several strategies before and during the hearing but ultimately abandoned an effort to unseal 2010 testimony from the original prosecutor. He said the various approaches aimed to get enough of an assurance for Polanski to return to the United States, hopefully without the need to arrest the director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a unique case, and I’m trying to fashion a unique solution to resolve the case,” Braun said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanisee blamed Polanski for its strange procedural history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This case is 40 years old because the defendant fled,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Braun has given a lengthy recitation of allegations of past judicial misconduct in his court filings but said Monday he did not want to litigate those issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve ventured very far into those things you don’t want to get into,” Gordon told Braun, smiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge said that if Polanski wanted to address those allegations in court, it would seem that he would need to personally appear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polanski won an Academy Award for best director for his 2002 film “The Pianist” and was nominated for 1974’s “Chinatown” and 1979’s “Tess.”\u003cbr>\n___\u003cbr>\n can be reached at http://twitter.com/mccartneyAP .\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Maureen quickly strides into each store grim yet determined. She touches the garments, feeling the material the way a blind person reads braille, to understand their essence.

Before the new owners move into his old house, they’ve asked her to spend the night in the house to clear it. Just like Patricia Arquette’s character in the 2005-2011 TV series \u003cem>Medium\u003c/em>, Maureen sees and communicates with dead people. To confirm her claim, the director slams doors offscreen and creates an off-kilter flash of light to indicate an otherworldly presence. Ectoplasm and matching Cartier jewel sets, what exactly are Stewart and Assayas up to?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is their second collaboration after 2014’s \u003cem>Clouds of Sils Maria.\u003c/em> If Stewart’s role here sounds familiar, it is. In \u003cem>Clouds,\u003c/em> she played Valentine, assistant to a famous actress Maria Enders (Juliette Binoche). Unlike Kyra, Maria needs Valentine as a companion, a foil and a bulwark to defend her from a series of grasping hands.

At least, it’s killing Maureen Cartwright, the character she inhabits in Olivier Assayas’ new film \u003cem>Personal Shopper.\u003c/em> Maureen suffers from a rare heart condition, the same one that recently killed her twin brother Louis. Additionally, her soul-consuming job as a famous actress’ personal shopper isn’t helping matters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The self-important, cold and preening Kyra (Nora von Waldstätten) requests two pairs of $2,000 leather pants but quibbles with Maureen about reimbursing her for expenses. There’s a joylessness in Stewart’s expression, the corners of her mouth perpetually turned down, as she darts around town from one high-end boutique to the next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she also has a strange affinity for it. Maureen quickly strides into each store grim yet determined. She touches the garments, feeling the material the way a blind person reads braille, to understand their essence. She’s a fashion witch, having adapted her powers for the 21st century — confirmed by the film’s opening scene in Louis’ enormous house that appears to be emptied of everything except cobwebs, creaking doors and, unsurprisingly, ghosts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12913163\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12913163\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/IMG_9945-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Kristen Stewart as Maureen Cartwright in Olivier Assayas’s PERSONAL SHOPPER.

Before the new owners move into his old house, they’ve asked her to spend the night in the house to clear it. Just like Patricia Arquette’s character in the 2005-2011 TV series \u003cem>Medium\u003c/em>, Maureen sees and communicates with dead people. To confirm her claim, the director slams doors offscreen and creates an off-kilter flash of light to indicate an otherworldly presence. Ectoplasm and matching Cartier jewel sets, what exactly are Stewart and Assayas up to?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is their second collaboration after 2014’s \u003cem>Clouds of Sils Maria.\u003c/em> If Stewart’s role here sounds familiar, it is. In \u003cem>Clouds,\u003c/em> she played Valentine, assistant to a famous actress Maria Enders (Juliette Binoche). Unlike Kyra, Maria needs Valentine as a companion, a foil and a bulwark to defend her from a series of grasping hands. The film explored their relationship, its intensity and closeness, in a remote mountain setting. Valentine remains a semi-mysterious, often mystified, figure who is running out of patience with the unending demands of show business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12913164\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12913164\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/IMG_0784-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Kristen Stewart and Olivier Assayas on the set of Olivier Assayas’s PERSONAL SHOPPER.

"content": "\u003cp>The new film, \u003cem>Get Out,\u003c/em> defies easy classification. Though it has funny moments, it's primarily a horror film, with racial anxiety at its center. Writer-director Jordan Peele tells \u003cem>Fresh Air\u003c/em>'s Terry Gross that he thinks of \u003cem>Get Out\u003c/em> as a \"social thriller.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movie tells the story of a young black man named Chris whose white girlfriend, Rose, takes him to meet her parents for the first time — without first telling them he's black. Rose's parents go out of their way to show Chris how open minded they are, but there's something suspicious in the liberal facade they present. The film takes several twists and turns (which we won't spoil here) as Chris figures out what is going on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peele wanted the audience, regardless of race, to see the subtle racism through Chris' eyes. \"It was very important to me to just get the entire audience in touch in some way with the fears inherent [in] being black in this country,\" Peele says. \"Part of being black in this country, and I presume being any minority, is constantly being told that ... we're seeing racism where there just isn't racism.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previously known for his comedic work on the Comedy Central sketch series \u003cem>Key & Peele, \u003c/em>Peele says that his current turn as the director of a horror/thriller film comes from a \"deeper place in my soul\" than his comic work. \"This [movie] is just simply my truest passion,\" he says. \"It comes from this fact that in order to deal with my own fears, I wanted to be able to sort of master them. It's really just want I want to be doing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRfnevzM9kQ\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Interview Highlights\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On racism as a device for a horror movie plot \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every great horror movie comes from a true fear, and ideally it's a universal fear. The tricky nature of this project is that the fear I'm pulling from is very human, but it's not necessarily a universal experience, so that's why the first third of the movie is showing, and not in an over-the-top way, in a sort of real, grounded way, just getting everybody to be able to see the world through my protagonist's eyes and his fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On a lack of black representation in horror films \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gestation period for this idea kind of spanned several years, and I think one of the most important milestones in that process was just realizing that every true horror, human horror, American horror has a horror movie that deals with it and allows us to face that fear, except [that] race in a modern sense, hadn't been touched. It really hadn't been touched in my opinion since \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/09/30/227943197/why-black-heroes-make-zombie-stories-more-interesting\">Night of the Living Dead\u003c/a> \u003c/em>50 years ago. Maybe with the film \u003cem>Candyman\u003c/em>. That to me, I just saw a void there. So it really started with this notion of like, \u003cem>this has to be possible, let's figure it out\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On writing a film that would play differently to black and white people, but is meant to be inclusive \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was an exercise in ... making a movie that is meant to be inclusive. ... In any good story, whoever you are, you should be able to relate to the protagonist.

Though it has funny moments, it's primarily a horror film, with racial anxiety at its center. Writer-director Jordan Peele tells \u003cem>Fresh Air\u003c/em>'s Terry Gross that he thinks of \u003cem>Get Out\u003c/em> as a \"social thriller.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The movie tells the story of a young black man named Chris whose white girlfriend, Rose, takes him to meet her parents for the first time — without first telling them he's black. Rose's parents go out of their way to show Chris how open minded they are, but there's something suspicious in the liberal facade they present. The film takes several twists and turns (which we won't spoil here) as Chris figures out what is going on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peele wanted the audience, regardless of race, to see the subtle racism through Chris' eyes. \"It was very important to me to just get the entire audience in touch in some way with the fears inherent [in] being black in this country,\" Peele says. \"Part of being black in this country, and I presume being any minority, is constantly being told that ... we're seeing racism where there just isn't racism.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previously known for his comedic work on the Comedy Central sketch series \u003cem>Key & Peele, \u003c/em>Peele says that his current turn as the director of a horror/thriller film comes from a \"deeper place in my soul\" than his comic work. \"This [movie] is just simply my truest passion,\" he says. \"It comes from this fact that in order to deal with my own fears, I wanted to be able to sort of master them. It's really just want I want to be doing.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/sRfnevzM9kQ'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/sRfnevzM9kQ'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Interview Highlights\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On racism as a device for a horror movie plot \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The tricky nature of this project is that the fear I'm pulling from is very human, but it's not necessarily a universal experience, so that's why the first third of the movie is showing, and not in an over-the-top way, in a sort of real, grounded way, just getting everybody to be able to see the world through my protagonist's eyes and his fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On a lack of black representation in horror films \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gestation period for this idea kind of spanned several years, and I think one of the most important milestones in that process was just realizing that every true horror, human horror, American horror has a horror movie that deals with it and allows us to face that fear, except [that] race in a modern sense, hadn't been touched.

Tickets go on sale to the public at noon on Friday, March 17, which gives you ample time to mark up your calendar with films to see. Here’s a tip sheet of the programs likely to sell out first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘The Green Fog — A San Francisco Fantasia’ with Kronos Quartet\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nFor the closing night program on April 16 (note that Festival screenings continue through April 19), SFFILM commissioned a new work by cult hero Guy Maddin. With a couple close collaborators, Maddin has fashioned an alternate view of San Francisco circa \u003cem>Vertigo\u003c/em> from a dizzying, delectable assortment of vintage footage. Jacob Garchik composed a score to accompany the visuals, which the redoubtable Kronos Quartet will perform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12909503\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 732px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/18_Black_Girls_Boys_Terence.jpg\" alt=\"Still from '18 Black Girls/Boys Ages 1-18 Who Have Arrived at the Singularity and Are Thus Spiritual Machines.'\" width=\"732\" height=\"1000\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12909503\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/18_Black_Girls_Boys_Terence.jpg 732w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/18_Black_Girls_Boys_Terence-160x219.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/18_Black_Girls_Boys_Terence-240x328.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/18_Black_Girls_Boys_Terence-375x512.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/18_Black_Girls_Boys_Terence-520x710.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still from ’18 Black Girls/Boys Ages 1-18 Who Have Arrived at the Singularity and Are Thus Spiritual Machines.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy SFFILM)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>18 Black Girls/Boys Ages 1-18 Who Have Arrived at the Singularity and Are Thus Spiritual Machines\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nTerence Nance’s acclaimed performance pieces combine dance, music and images from the internet to examine perception, stereotypes and identity.

"content": "\u003cp>Emma Watson can't win. Ever since the 26-year-old actress \"came out\" as a feminist, she's been picked apart in every facet of her life as critics and feminist allies alike search of any traces of hypocrisy. For Watson, it's an impossible position -- on one side, she faces accusations of being an uptight, know-it-all feminist preacher; on the other, she's seen as too privileged and not feminist enough by fervently intersectional millennials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recent turn in a seemingly endless discussion about Watson's fitness as a feminist stemmed from a rather stunning \u003ca href=\"https://www.timwalkerphotography.com/\">Tim Walker\u003c/a> photo shoot in this month's \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/02/emma-watson-cover-story\">Vanity Fair\u003c/a>\u003c/em>. The problem started when a British columnist and radio presenter named \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Hartley-Brewer\">Julia Hartley-Brewer\u003c/a> found a photo of Watson displaying some tasteful underboob from the shoot, and tweeted the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/JuliaHB1/status/836873834414366720\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Respected British newspaper \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.co.uk/author/biba-kang\">\u003cem>The Independent\u003c/em>\u003c/a> followed up by questioning Watson’s choices and agency: “One of the rubbish side effects of being a woman is that it’s often very hard to distinguish what you want with what you have been told to want… The only thing ‘having its cake and eating it too’ here is the patriarchy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The backlash continued. \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/05/entertainment/emma-watson-vanity-fair-photo-controversy/\">CNN asked\u003c/a> with a straight face: “Can you be a feminist and pose in a nearly see-through top for Vanity Fair?\" And\u003cem> \u003ca href=\"http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/is-actress-feminist-emma-watson-a-hypocrite-going-topless-vanity-fair-982585\">The Hollywood Reporter\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, failing to understand that practicing feminists are not required nor expected to sign no-nudity clauses, asked, “Should stars worry more about their images in editorial photo spreads, especially when those images could run counter to their personal brand messaging?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some outlets fought for Watson. \u003cem>Jezebel\u003c/em>’s Rachel Verona Cote called Hartley-Brewer’s Tweet an “\u003ca href=\"http://jezebel.com/emma-watsons-feminist-card-is-now-invalid-because-she-p-1792995010\">absurd remark\u003c/a>;” \u003ca href=\"http://www.vulture.com/2017/03/emma-watson-gets-criticized-for-semi-nudity-in-vanity-fair.html\">\u003cem>Vulture\u003c/em> noted\u003c/a> that “According to some critics, feminism and nudity are mutually exclusive... That’s backwards.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watson herself \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/ikrd/emma-watson-is-very-confused-about-the-backlash-to-her-vanit?utm_term=.ci5v1WVoA#.diadw4lxE\">weighed in\u003c/a> with sense and humor: “Feminism is about giving women choice, feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women with. It’s about freedom, it’s about liberation, it’s about equality,” she said. “I really don’t know what my tits have to do with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even after that, Watson was attacked on Twitter by Beyoncé fans, who revived \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7717149/emma-watson-beyonce-fans-called-hypocrite\">a three-year-old interview\u003c/a> in which Watson discussed Queen Bey's music videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MJStarLover/status/838459099566247937\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Watson dug up the interview, highlighted the sections in which she talked about Beyoncé, and allowed the text to speak for itself. (Admitting that she \"still [hadn't] really formed my own ideas about it,\" she had been asking questions about Beyoncé's music videos that seemed to be shot through a \"male gaze.\" )\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with so many criticisms directed at Watson -- whenever she does anything feminist \u003cem>or\u003c/em> feminine -- it's often a lot of fuss about nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma.png\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-68239\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-800x814.png\" alt=\"emma\" width=\"400\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-800x814.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-160x163.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-768x781.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-1020x1038.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-1920x1953.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-1180x1201.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-960x977.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-240x244.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-375x382.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-520x529.png 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-32x32.png 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-50x50.png 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/emma-64x64.png 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>The entire \u003cem>Vanity Fair\u003c/em> incident serves to highlight just how much confusion still swirls around feminism as a movement. In 2017, the idea that individuals must stay chaste and fully-clothed to defend equal rights for women is antiquated, stemming from an old stereotype that painted women’s rights campaigners as sexless man-haters in order to discourage more women from joining the movement. Apparently, \u003ca href=\"http://uptownmagazine.com/files/2014/10/Beyonce-FEminist.jpg\">Beyoncé in a leotard\u003c/a> in front of a gigantic FEMINIST sign at the Grammys in 2014 has done little to dispel this old, ugly myth. That's probably for the same reason why Watson was openly confused about Beyoncé at the time -- namely, that understanding millennial feminism requires additional thought about free sexual expression, patriarchal media influences, choice and women's place in the age of technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But another part of Watson's problem as an outspoken feminist is \u003cem>who she literally is\u003c/em>. She is widely viewed as the embodiment of privilege. Her accent carries the same polished tone as the British Royal Family; she was born in Paris to two successful lawyers; she has few memories of ever not being a millionaire, thanks to being cast as Hermione Granger in the \u003cem>Harry Potter\u003c/em> franchise at the age of nine. Watson definitely has something of a relatability problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when the term “\u003ca href=\"https://www.bustle.com/articles/120684-7-things-feminists-of-color-want-white-feminists-to-know\">White Feminist\u003c/a>” is one of the worst things to call a female campaigner, Watson's feminism comes under extra scrutiny precisely because she is a young, rich, white, cis-gendered, heterosexual woman -- the exact demographic that dominated second-wave feminism, sometimes to the detriment of other women. It also happens to be the exact demographic from which millennial feminism so often seeks to distance itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Undoubtedly, Watson is now in a bit of a quagmire. Since she became an activist, she stopped being a relatable figure to those who don’t understand feminism nor care to hear about it (i.e., the people who picked apart her photo shoot last week). But for a sizable portion of new-generation feminists, Watson is simply too privileged to truly get it. No matter how much sense she speaks, or how well her arguments hold up, her innate privilege has a tendency to undercut her ability to be viewed as authentic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The split between the old and new feminist guard was made abundantly clear after Watson's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/emma-watson-most-inspiring-quotes-international-womens-day-facebook-feminism-speech\">“HeForShe” speech\u003c/a> at the UN in 2014. It was a moment widely applauded across the mainstream media, but Watson faced backlash in some feminist-specific media outlets (like \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.xojane.com/issues/emma-watson-he-for-she\">XOJane\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.bgdblog.org/2014/09/im-really-emma-watsons-feminism-speech-u-n/\">BGD Blog\u003c/a>, \u003c/em>and \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/guerrillafeminism/posts/741051699298794\">Guerrilla Feminism\u003c/a>\u003c/em>).

Ever since the 26-year-old actress \"came out\" as a feminist, she's been picked apart in every facet of her life as critics and feminist allies alike search of any traces of hypocrisy. For Watson, it's an impossible position -- on one side, she faces accusations of being an uptight, know-it-all feminist preacher; on the other, she's seen as too privileged and not feminist enough by fervently intersectional millennials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recent turn in a seemingly endless discussion about Watson's fitness as a feminist stemmed from a rather stunning \u003ca href=\"https://www.timwalkerphotography.com/\">Tim Walker\u003c/a> photo shoot in this month's \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/02/emma-watson-cover-story\">Vanity Fair\u003c/a>\u003c/em>. The problem started when a British columnist and radio presenter named \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Hartley-Brewer\">Julia Hartley-Brewer\u003c/a> found a photo of Watson displaying some tasteful underboob from the shoot, and tweeted the following:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In 2017, the idea that individuals must stay chaste and fully-clothed to defend equal rights for women is antiquated, stemming from an old stereotype that painted women’s rights campaigners as sexless man-haters in order to discourage more women from joining the movement. Apparently, \u003ca href=\"http://uptownmagazine.com/files/2014/10/Beyonce-FEminist.jpg\">Beyoncé in a leotard\u003c/a> in front of a gigantic FEMINIST sign at the Grammys in 2014 has done little to dispel this old, ugly myth. That's probably for the same reason why Watson was openly confused about Beyoncé at the time -- namely, that understanding millennial feminism requires additional thought about free sexual expression, patriarchal media influences, choice and women's place in the age of technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But another part of Watson's problem as an outspoken feminist is \u003cem>who she literally is\u003c/em>. She is widely viewed as the embodiment of privilege. Her accent carries the same polished tone as the British Royal Family; she was born in Paris to two successful lawyers; she has few memories of ever not being a millionaire, thanks to being cast as Hermione Granger in the \u003cem>Harry Potter\u003c/em> franchise at the age of nine. Watson definitely has something of a relatability problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a time when the term “\u003ca href=\"https://www.bustle.com/articles/120684-7-things-feminists-of-color-want-white-feminists-to-know\">White Feminist\u003c/a>” is one of the worst things to call a female campaigner, Watson's feminism comes under extra scrutiny precisely because she is a young, rich, white, cis-gendered, heterosexual woman -- the exact demographic that dominated second-wave feminism, sometimes to the detriment of other women. It also happens to be the exact demographic from which millennial feminism so often seeks to distance itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Undoubtedly, Watson is now in a bit of a quagmire. Since she became an activist, she stopped being a relatable figure to those who don’t understand feminism nor care to hear about it (i.e., the people who picked apart her photo shoot last week). But for a sizable portion of new-generation feminists, Watson is simply too privileged to truly get it. No matter how much sense she speaks, or how well her arguments hold up, her innate privilege has a tendency to undercut her ability to be viewed as authentic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The split between the old and new feminist guard was made abundantly clear after Watson's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/emma-watson-most-inspiring-quotes-international-womens-day-facebook-feminism-speech\">“HeForShe” speech\u003c/a> at the UN in 2014. It was a moment widely applauded across the mainstream media, but Watson faced backlash in some feminist-specific media outlets (like \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.xojane.com/issues/emma-watson-he-for-she\">XOJane\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.bgdblog.org/2014/09/im-really-emma-watsons-feminism-speech-u-n/\">BGD Blog\u003c/a>, \u003c/em>and \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/guerrillafeminism/posts/741051699298794\">Guerrilla Feminism\u003c/a>\u003c/em>). Her response to the discussion was thoughtful, but did little to dispel the idea that Watson might not truly get it:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-68230\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/watson-response-800x1045.png\" alt=\"Watson's response to charges of not being intersectional enough\" width=\"800\" height=\"1045\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/watson-response-800x1045.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/watson-response-160x209.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/watson-response-768x1003.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/watson-response-1020x1332.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/watson-response-1920x2508.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/watson-response-1180x1542.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/watson-response-960x1254.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/watson-response-240x314.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/watson-response-375x490.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/watson-response-520x679.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another example of Watson’s good intentions backfiring is the Instagram account she set up to chronicle the many stunning ensembles she's been wearing on her globetrotting \u003cem>Beauty & The Beast\u003c/em> promotional tour. \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/the_press_tour/?hl=en\">@ThePressTour\u003c/a> was set up with the intention of highlighting another cause close to Watson’s heart -- eco-friendly fashion –- but to many, it looks an awful lot like just another rich, beautiful celebrity flaunting her access to extremely expensive couture. The motivations and intentions behind The Press Tour are great (and just imagine what the anti-feminists would say if she didn't show up to every appearance this polished), but the execution suggests to many that Watson is clueless when it comes to understanding the realities of life for low-income women and women of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_68238\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-68238\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/Screen-Shot-2017-03-06-at-5.14.24-PM-1020x1559.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2017-03-06 at 5.14.24 PM\" width=\"500\" height=\"764\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/Screen-Shot-2017-03-06-at-5.14.24-PM-1020x1559.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/Screen-Shot-2017-03-06-at-5.14.24-PM-160x245.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/Screen-Shot-2017-03-06-at-5.14.24-PM-800x1223.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/Screen-Shot-2017-03-06-at-5.14.24-PM-768x1174.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/Screen-Shot-2017-03-06-at-5.14.24-PM-1920x2934.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/Screen-Shot-2017-03-06-at-5.14.24-PM-1180x1803.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/Screen-Shot-2017-03-06-at-5.14.24-PM-960x1467.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/Screen-Shot-2017-03-06-at-5.14.24-PM-240x367.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/Screen-Shot-2017-03-06-at-5.14.24-PM-375x573.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2017/03/Screen-Shot-2017-03-06-at-5.14.24-PM-520x795.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: The Press Tour Instagram\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>If Watson continues with her feminist campaigning -- and young women would certainly be worse off if she didn’t -- the furor around that one very tasteful photograph in \u003cem>Vanity Fair\u003c/em> will only be the beginning.
