“I love Emma Watson, but am I the only one who finds the #TimesUp tattoo a bit tacky? The font looks cheap, the placement is awkward, and there’s a missing apostrophe. In my opinion, it undermines her support for the movement…”

“The stick-on tattoo that Emma Watson wore is so cringeworthy. Did no one think to fill in the missing apostrophe with a Sharpie? I really hope Emma Watson had the sense to make it a temporary tattoo and not a permanent one. She probably earned some fake feminist points with that move. #TimesUp.”
