Hermione Granger has spoke once again! In a recent interview with Vogue, Emma Watson, the UN Goodwill Ambassador said something that has been on the mind of every single person out there. Putting it into words, Emma stated that she wasn’t single but ‘self-partnered,’ coining something we didn’t know we needed.
Twitter is in love with her honesty and can’t get enough of this actor and activist.
Emma Watson: Makes a very valid point about the absurd pressures placed on women with regards to expectations over family/partners and that being single is fine.

All my self-partnered ladies, all my self-partnered ladies
All my self-partnered ladies, all my self-partnered ladies,
Now put your hands up!#EmmaWatson #SelfPartnered pic.twitter.com/JkgEnIfwHk
Can’t believe how much this has blown up. @EmmaWatson describing herself as ‘Self-partnered’ isn’t something to poke fun at. It conceptualises ur state of being. Society has given ‘single’ so many connotations, we think we have to feel a certain way…#EmmaWatson #SelfPartnered

I’m glad I’m not the only single 29 year old woman who feels this way. #EmmaWatson pic.twitter.com/JqjHw6rbRa

She wouldn’t have to coin a new term if there weren’t such a stigma about the term “single”. That’s her point, that people need to stop thinking you can’t be happy and fulfilled if you’re not in a relationship. #EmmaWatson could definitely be in one if she wanted. #SelfPartnered https://t.co/FB6YoQJ98u

I like the phrase “self-partnered” because I feel like it celebrates just wanting to love yourself and focus on yourself, sometimes I feel like saying that you’re single implies that you are actively looking for a partner, which right now I ain’t. 💗#selfpartnered #emmawatson

I am a happy, “self-partnered” almost 31-year-old. Thanks, @EmmaWatson for helping all of us formerly known singles to find more truthful and empowering verbiage. #SelfPartnered #EmmaWatson https://t.co/0mMCZhs99x

Can we not appriciate the fact that #EmmaWatson is calling out old age Patriarchal Pressure tactics from Conservative standards of perfection?

Which are inherently Sexist, Racist and based upon a detachment of self Love to serve Capitalism? No?
