He for She is a gender equality campaign where Emma Watson is the face to represent in the UN. This video link directs you to a commercial produce in Mexico, even though it’s in Spanish you can deduce what the narrative is trying to say. You see women depicted in traditional male gender roles--hurrah for heteropatriarchy. The men in the clip are saying phrases that agree with the fact that male and female roles are intersectional in society like my wife can be the career woman while I’m the stay at home dad or she can be a taxi driver, too. Backing up, I particularly like the first scene where the woman gives her seat up for a man carrying a baby. It demonstrates the fluidity in the real roles men and women take on in life by defying the cultivation of gender stereotypes.
This is a great video! Also I love Emma Watson's speeches on this campaign!
