Sigh. It's a literary way to commemorate and the journalist reporting it uses "sights" instead of "sites" for the places where the books are left.

I only know the example from Buzzfeed and even then it was just the guy who got fired for writing an article about Hillarys health saying it, but apparently if you have a certain status you are just allowed to upload your "articles" to the site.

[–]00093293 65 ポイント66 ポイント  (1子コメント)

But don't some of the best writers need an editor?

Not just books but journalism too?

That is pretty silly, I mean unless you are some aggregate type site that has a new article every few seconds/minutes, a proofreader should give it a good once over, right?

It wouldn't take but 5 minutes. Hell, I would do it for free. I even see mistakes in some major outlets too.

Muphry's Law: "If you write anything criticizing editing or proofreading, there will be a fault of some kind in what you have written."

(The misspelling of "Murphy's" is a deliberate play on "Murphy's Law".)

      Not to mention in the very beginning, where they refer to her as "Emmy Watson".

      [–]IronFarmSnuff 42 ポイント43 ポイント  (0子コメント)

      She's most likely using sights in the "sights to see" kind of way. Very common in British English. For example, you'd say "I'm going to London to see the sights".

        I was paraphrasing Hyde from That 70s Show.

        Eric: Guys... I have to tell you about this dream I had. It was about Donna. Okay, it was five years in the future.
        Hyde: Five years in the future? Did you see Jackie? How's she holdin' up? Do I need to get out now?
        Eric: Hyde, in my dream, Donna gave up her life plans to be with me. And she was so miserable, she left me.
        Hyde: That's it? I took my feet off the table and turned slightly to the left for that?

          Sort by old, and you will see that out of the first 10 top level comment posted, 6 are either deleted or anti-feminist/anti watson (and the deleted ones were likely negative as well). So when people were making the comments complaining about them, they were in the majority. Here are the non deleted ones:

              Her recent Vanity Fair interview starts with her 'hiding' books on the NY subway, and one of the books she just places on a seat. I don't think she's really hiding them.

                  Both sides are really, I just wonder where the reasonable people who can consider both sides went. Yes, women like the Hugh-mongous lady are fucking twats, but idiots on Reddit jumping to attack anything with the word "feminist" in it are equally annoying. People use labels so differently nowadays, you need to evaluate the action not the label. And if you look at what she's doing there's really nothing wrong with it.

                    This. main stream media has created so much negative content related to the word feminism. This is because the spot light is on radical feminist that harass innocent men for crimes they never committed. This is sad because these women do not represent feminism. True feminism is noble and something I believe everyone can get behind.

                    [–]stilgar02 120 ポイント121 ポイント  (4子コメント)

                    It's not just the main stream media that's the problem here. I'd say even more so the fault lies with sites like reddit. Go to /r/videos and do a top search for 'feminist'. 9 of the top 10 all-time posts put feminism in a bad light. And yet when someone brings up feminism on reddit the argument is often 'well you should choose better people to represent yourselves.' Failing to understand feminists aren't choosing these videos or people as being representative...reddit is.

                    Edit: It's so sad that we're in a thread about Emma Watson doing awesome things...and once again we're talking about these "bad feminists" who hide under your bed and scare children at night. Every thread about women's issues on reddit, no matter the content or context, devolves into this same old god damn debate; talking about who is and isn't "representative". I regret even making my initial comment, because it only serves to further this trend of discussing representation rather than the core issues at hand.

                    Not really. Entire parts of the internet like Jezebel, Huffpo, Tumblr et al do a pretty darn good job at making "feminism" something akin to a joke. Lena Dunham shouldn't be considered a feminist or any sort of cultural icon if you want to be taken seriously.

                    Follow the money. People like Dunham sell because they're controversial. Supposedly socialist-leaning publications still like money and will choose sales/clicks that advertise feminism in a bad light rather than write dry, measured opinion pieces that paint it in a good light.

                      They're also a very small minority of the movement, which is large, broad, and inviting overwhelmingly. I've been a feminist my whole life, surrounded by many strong feminist women and I've never heard or seen them do anything to harass innocent men or anything of the sort.

                      Yeah, try telling a feminist that you don't really agree that the government should be buying them their contraceptives. See how "overwhelmingly broad and inviting" it is afterwards. It's broad and inviting to people who are already feminists.

                              Feminism is evil cuz men have troubles too.

                              Then do something to fix those troubles.

                              That part is the only one I can't agree with, I feel like you're - whether intentionally or not - misrepresenting the argument. One common criticism of feminism is how it strives for the advancement of women while claiming a struggle for equality, in some cases overreaching their goal and creating a situation where men are being discriminated against.

                              Now, whether this criticism is justified or not, it can't be dismissed with the argument that someone should create a movement to strive for the equality of men in those areas. If equality issues are being created by proposals by the feminist movement, criticising them for that is fair and square, and speaking up against it is "doing something to fix those troubles".

                              Don't tell others they can't try to improve because your life isn't perfect either. Work to move people UP not DOWN.

                              This argument, in my opinion, is also flawed. In some areas, there is simply no difference, for example in access to the job market. A law that states "when applying for a job position, a woman has to be hired if she is equally qualified to a man applying for the same position" (which exists in some countries, is implied in any mandatory quota of women in professions, which is also in effect in several countries, and is a popular demand of feminist groups as a measure of equality) moves women "UP", but since it takes away the (idealistic) former 50-50 odds men had of being hired in such a situation, it also somewhat takes away from their career outlook, moving them DOWN. This is not a situation where the cake automatically becomes bigger when you readjust the pieces.

                              [–]alanofford 23 ポイント24 ポイント  (2子コメント)

                              In England what you've described is called "positive discrimination" and is against the law. There is allowance under the law for "positive action" which is "intended to give special encouragement to one sex, without actually discriminating against the other".

                              If there's another country which practices the kind of discrimination you describe then I'd be interested to hear about it, otherwise this statement is misleading as is the idea that it's "a popular demand of feminist groups". As others have pointed out the goal is equality not disadvantaging anyone.

                              Source quoted: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-courts/discrimination/discrimination-because-of-sex-or-sexual-orientation/discrimination-because-of-sex/#positive_action

                              German law has pretty much the same outcome, except positive action is explicitly acknowledged as a legal form of discrimination in sec. 5 AGG.

                              Yes, the goal is equality and that's a good thing, but we get there using a "necessary evil".

                                  it's annoying because it's typically a bunch of upper class white women berating everyone else for not being wealthy enough.

                                  work to bring others up not down? considering how the entire economic environment is stacked against working class folks to benefit wealthy types like actresses...that's nice sounding propaganda but no one wants to hear that right now. we are sick of 40 years of neoliberal CRAP and sick of being berated by the morally bankrupt elite class

                                  Dividing into sides is how we end up not solving anything, all that results in is people fighting each other over pointless shit.

                                  I'd rather there be a bigger movement towards equality all as opposed to the rights of one specific group.

                                  Celebrities need to keep their opinions to themselves.

                                  really since when? WHERE IS JA!? since then.

                                  Since when? Tell that to the one we elected president.

                                  Of course that thing where he's a billionaire businessmen is overshadowed by his time as a reality show host.

                                  What? Aren't you the same people who yammer on about how important it is to read things you disagree with when people get tired of seeing your racist bullshit alternative facts you spam.

                                  The thing is, Feminist won't do that. If they had the ability to do that they still wouldn't believe in stupid shit like the wage gap that was debunked back in the '80s.

                                  Then do something to fix those troubles. Don't tell others they can't try to improve because your life isn't perfect either. Work to move people UP not DOWN.

                                  An average woman living in the west has an objectively higher living standard than an average man in the west. Now, have you ever known of such power dynamic in history where the alleged oppressors were living objectively worse lives in every way than the people they allegedly oppressed?

                                  Isn't that the point of oppression? To make someone else's life worse in order to make your own better? In the days of american slavery were the masters living worse lives than the slaves? Hm... Really makes you think, doesn't it?

                                  Further more, Emma Watson is worth 70 $ million. An average american man will in hist entire life earn only 2$ if he save every penny. Now this woman is pointing at that man and telling him that he is the oppressor, that man that would need to work for 3 500 years and save every penny to have the same economic power she has for being pretty. He's the oppressor. How far up your own ass does she need to be to actually think that? Sexists, racists and homophobes are insects compared to the giants that are the rich, and yet she's pointing down at them and blaming all of society's ills on them, never mind her that levels cities with each step she takes. She's not the issue, move on.

                                    This is awesome! I've only once found a book 'in the wild,' but it really brightened my day (even though the book itself wasn't my sort of book).

                                    I also just read Emma's Vanity Fair interview, and it starts with her hiding books on the NY subway. I hope that whoever finds the books takes the time to read them :)

                                    edit: looking at the listed books, I don't think all of them are necessarily feminist books so much as books about women. Here's all the ones the article mentions/ photos show:

                                    • 'How to Be a Woman’ by Caitlin Moran
                                    • 'My Life on the Road’ by Gloria Steinem
                                    • 'Mom & Me & Mom’ by Maya Angelou
                                    • 'Half The Sky’ by Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas Kristof
                                    • 'The Color Purple’ by Alice Walker
                                    • 'Persepolis' by Marjane Satrapi

                                    Also worth pointing out Persepolis is a graphic novel and not just a story centered on feminism.

                                    Also goes into cultural differences that the protagonist faces, politics in Iran, and a coming of age story as well.

                                    I've never found one of the books with their label but I've left a few. I'm super obsessive about the spines and condition of my books so if I let a friend borrow one and they return it in a condition that bothers me I donate it somewhere and get a new copy for my shelf.

                                    Ok. The books dropped bored the life out of me, but that's because they're not what I like. If anyone gets a love of reading from finding one of these then the world is a little brighter.

                                    I was introduced to my now favorite genre by a "take a book, leave a book" in a hostel once. I've since re-read that book 5 times and filled a bookcase with ones like it.

                                    More people should do things like this.

                                        She's big on getting people reading. I've seen her talk before on other interviews about doing this for other occasions or simply leaving random books she likes. I find it difficult to criticize someone using their celebrity status to find a new way to encourage people to read and share more books.

                                          Indirectly yes. she was pretty quiet about it, but she put hand written notes in them which would obviously lead back to her. The people who found them posted on social media about it, so there wasn't any doubt that there would be a story about her

                                          Guys, play nice. Our rules ask for the assumption of good faith, and (at least) a civil tone at all times.

                                          I would also recommend you take a minute to read the article before you start decrying feminism in the comments here. This act is an attempt to:

                                          celebrate the achievements of women

                                          and

                                          “The idea is make people love reading again and to spread the love, like random acts of kindness.”

                                          Women do awesome things, and let's spread the love of reading. What the hell is wrong with that?

                                          Remember, even if you don't believe in an ideology and utterly oppose it, you should still want people to read books about it. So you should have no complaints about any book being left for people for free.

                                          Reading a book has never forced someone to adopt its ideas. I've read Mein Kampf, it didn't make me a Nazi. If anything, it immunized me from it.

                                          So even if you completely despise feminism and oppose it, you should want people to read feminist books.

                                          This. I fucking abhor most modern feminism, but they have a right to speak. A lot of modern feminist talking points are rubbish - it has, as a movement, gotten far and away from the founding ideas of equality and rationality. They can get away with so much because everyone they disagree with is shut down and called a bigot...

                                          But how are we any better if we do the same? If we shut them down and don't let them speak, then all that does is prove that we are afraid of them.

                                          Let all voices be heard, and let reason prevail. We should strive toward a meritocracy wherein all opinions are voiced and the best ideas win - not a dictatorship where censorship is king.

                                              I'm only 27 years old, but I can honestly say in those 27 years i've never once seen a Woman treated as anything but an equal where I live, which just so happens to be where Emma Watson is from. It's the norm to treat people the same as you'd expect to be treated. I really don't understand where all this western feminism has come from. I can understand it if you're living in the radical parts of the middle east where they are forced down certain paths, but an incredibly rich english girl parading about womens equality and all the other well off western women who get worked up over it really gets on a lot of peoples nerves. You're fighting for equality of all women, so why are the well-off western women the ones who end up as internet memes, always acting like they are being suppressed by men and getting triggered by everything with their completely overblown reactions.

                                              Modern-day Western society is not one that oppresses women and if you think it does, you need a reality check on what true oppression of Women is like. Try being beaten to death by a mob of angry men for doing something they deem wrong. That is what feminists should be fighting for. Not the stupid bullshit that ends up as an internet meme.

                                              Reminds me of that video of the woman saying she was sexually assaulted because a Man said his name was Hugh Mungous. Try that shit in a country where women are actually going through trouble and need equality and you'll end up beheaded. Remember that next time you have a hissy fit over something insignificant. It isn't about you. It's about womens rights for people who really need it.

                                                    Reddit doesn't like Emma Watson anymore because she's an evil feminist and that scares them. She's supposed to stick to acting and never have an opinion.

                                                    I love it when one side of a debate on here completely straw-mans their opponent. Absolutely love that intellectual integrity that is probably a result of most of this site being teenagers and college students.

                                                    Yup, there are few subs where you can post things involving feminism, race, gender, etc where grumpy people don't pour out of the woodwork

                                                    These same people fucking love Jon Voight though. That actor can give out opinions as often as possible and they won't blink twice.

                                                    and Morgan Freeman doesn't believe in Black History Month! Why can't more minorities be like him?

                                                      The comment section is what happens when an internet site reacts to a sex object making a statement contrary to that fact. I mean really, why should what she's actually about interfer with someone's jerkoff fantasy ?

                                                          Emma's done this for a few years now. It is something she enjoys doing, and she just happens to be in the middle of a huge promo tour right now. Doesn't really change that she loves spreading literacy.

                                                          Just that morning she had to decide between her Maserati or her Rolls.

I left a note on the cover saying on this book changed my life and I hope somebody else can find meaning from it also and left it on a park bench. I have no idea what the book is really about.

To anyone saying this is wrong, she's spreading thought that she presumably agrees with in a way that she finds valuable. Some people take up political causes and work within the legislative framework. Others write articles online. Then other people just shitpost in their respective supportive subreddits.

                                                            She chooses to spread her message and promote literacy. Fucking good for her. A+

There's just too much hate and salt in this sub, which is surprising since this sub is dedicated for books, not atheism, feminism, or politics.

                                                            It's a default subreddit. Most of these comments are from people who never frequent or participate in any discussion here. I don't believe that this is representative of the active subscribers. You just have to know what you're getting yourself into when you open up these kinds of threads that invite trolls out of the woodwork.

                                                              This is an amazing thing for Emma to do and I'm super proud to be a fan of her :)

                                                              Why is she hiding them? Wouldn't it be better to just give them away instead of making them harder to get ahold of?

                                                              oh look.

                                                              free toilet paper.

                                                              what? emma gets to express her opinion, i get to express mine: she likes books about feminism, i think they're full of shit.

                                                              get it? ah? ah?

                                                              Holy fuck, you'd think a sub about books wouldn't be littered with fucking cancer like this, but good lord.

                                                              Hopefully they stay hidden.

                                                              If feminism is so terrible, then she's providing people with an opportunity to read about it and make their own decisions. If people actually read a book about the politics they like or dislike they might be shocked at what they find.
