Emma Watson is facing a HUGE online backlash after suggesting some of the best feminists are actually men.
The 25-year-old actress who launched the HeForShe campaign in the UN last September has sparked outrage on social media following some of her comments regarding feminism.

Speaking to The Guardian, she said: "Women are just as guilty of discriminating against women.
"Some of the best feminists I have encountered are men, like Steve Chbosky who directed me in The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, and director James Ponsoldt who I am working with at the moment [on The Circle]. Some women can be incredibly prejudiced against other women!"
Although a fair few agree with Emma’s perspective, some have accused her of simply trying to seek male approval.
One Twitter user said: "Emma Watson is not a feminist role model."
And another added: "WHY DOES EMMA WATSON ALWAYS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT MEN, SHE SPENDS ALL HER TIME CATERING TO MALE FEMINISTS."
While another tweeted: "Emma Watson is president of the basic white feminist club, members include: lena dunham, amy shumer, taylor swift, miley cyrus & demi lovato."
