Vocabulary
gender inequality незапланированный,
to galvanize – стимулировать, непреднамеренный
побуждать to have the benefits of equality
gender-based assumptions to create gender stereotypes
to be sexualized submissive
to be involved in decision-making mantle – оболочка, накидка
inadvertent feminists – to be free from prejudice
неумышленный,

Watch the video and answer the following questions:


1. Why has feminism become an unpopular word? – it’s become synonymous to
men hating; feminist women are considered to be too strong and aggressive;
isolating and anti-men, unattractive.
2. Why does Emma say that her life is a sheer privilege? Her parents didn’t love
her less because she is a woman; the school didn’t limit her; her mentors didn’t
assume that she wouldn’t go less far because she might give a birth;
3. Why is gender equality men’s issue too? Do men have benefits of gender
equality? Fathers pay less attention to their children though they have just the
same responsibilities as mothers do; men are unable to express their feelings; men
suicide
4. What is the aim of “He For She” project?

Complete the sentences with a word from the box:

advocates galvanize gender stereotypes man-hating

consequence stop defining HeForShe receive

start defining women’s rights

1. We want to try and galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be


advocates for gender equality.
2.The more I have spoken about feminism the more I have realized that fighting
for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating.
3.But sadly I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women
can expect to receive these rights.
4.We don’t often talk about men being imprisoned by gender stereotypes but I can
see that that they are and that when they are free, things will change for women as
a natural consequence
5.If we stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by
what we are – we can all be freer and this is what HeForShe is about.

Discussion:
1. What do you think about the HeForShe campaign?
2. Do you agree with the following ideas:
● "But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular
word. Women are choosing not to identify as feminists."
● "We want to try to galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates
for change."
