Emma Watson has defended her views on feminism after a she was criticised for a topless photo which appeared in Vanity Fair magazine.

The critic suggested Emma couldn't claim to be a feminist and show skin in magazines.

While promoting her new movie, Beauty & The Beast, Emma addressed the attack in with an elequent statement on how feminism should work in 2017.

Here's what she had to say, along with more important comments on feminism that we can all learn from.

Emma Watson was recently criticised by a TV journalist for posing without a bra in a photoshoot for Vanity Fair magazine.

The female journo tweeted a photo of Emma, saying it was at odds with Emma's outspoken stance on feminism - which left the actress confused to say the least.

"Feminism is about giving women choice," said Emma in an interview with the 麻豆约拍.

"Feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women. It’s about freedom, it’s about liberation, it’s about equality."

"I really don’t know what my t*** have to do with it. It’s very confusing."

has evolved from a pop superstar to a musician with a message, one which she shares through her empowering music and powerful statements on equality.

"I’m not really sure people know or understand what a feminist is, but it’s very simple," she told Elle magazine in 2016.

"It’s someone who believes in equal rights for men and women. I don’t understand the negative connotation of the word, or why it should exclude the opposite sex.

"If you are a man who believes your daughter should have the same opportunities and rights as your son, then you’re a feminist. We need men and women to understand the double standards that still exist in this world, and we need to have a real conversation so we can begin to make changes."

has a long, empowering history of standing up against misogyny and says feminists cannot be pigeon holed by their appearance.

"A lot of women think of the stereotype that comes with the word 'feminist'," she told Grazia in 2016.

"But there’s not just one type of feminist.

"You can be a feminist who gets their hair and make-up done, you can be a feminist who cuts their hair off and doesn’t wear any make-up. Who has lots of sex or who doesn’t. There’s no limit."

In her short time in the music world, has made a huge mark with her message of inclusion for all and a collection of shimmering pop classics.

She says some people wrongly believe there is an anger to feminism.

"The word "feminist" seems gross to people, and I don't know why," she told InStyle magazine in 2016.

"It's related to a bad image of feminism that implies you're angry at men all the time.

"For me, feminism means basic notions of equality between men and women. I'm proud to be a feminist because I think there are a lot of things to do as women to be as carefree as men."

starred in both Moonlight and Hidden Figures in 2016 but has been spreading a message of positivity and acceptance in her music for years.

She is an outspoken advocate of black, gay and women's rights and says men need to get involved in feminism.

"Feminism should be a part of Black masculinity," Monae told BET in 2016.

"Men should absolutely feel like it is their duty to be allies with women; speak up against sexism and help us fight some of the evil things that have been done to us.

"If Black masculinity is part of being a man, then what makes you a man is also your support and how you treat women."

may be young, but she's got a wise head and she's not afraid of hitting backs at inequality in person and online.

"Instead of calling people feminist, we should be calling people who aren’t feminists sexist," she told Confidential magazine in 2016.

"Women should be able to do what they want and be respected and all that. That’s not a radical thought for me."

She also says she has seen major differences in attitudes to feminism across the world.

"In Sweden it’s very out there speaking about different issues but it’s this big thing (in America), like ‘oh my God are you a feminist’, but why is that a big thing?"

Actor and comedian Aziz Ansari was forced to defend his beliefs in feminism when he was accused of changing his views on the topic because of his then-girlfriend Courtney Bloom.

"I’ve been a feminist my whole life," he told The Guardian in 2015.

"There wasn’t a period where I was really against women and then started dating one and was like, 'You know what? Men and women are equal.' That definitely didn’t happen."

He also said many people were afraid of the word because many people were confused what it meant.

"It’s interesting, you see interviews with female celebrities and they’re very scared of that word. It’s such an easy concept to get behind and a big part of it is that people don’t really know what it’s essentially promoting."

has been smarter than the average pop star since she first came to global attention in 2013 with her debut album Pure Heroine.

At just 16, she questioned pre-conceptions that people who believe in feminism had to confirm to a certain set of rules.

"I find a lot of feminist reading quite confusing and that often there’s a set of rules, and people will be like, 'Oh, this person isn’t a true feminist because they don’t embody this one thing,'" she told Rookie magazine in 2013.

"Often it can be a gray area and it can be a hard thing to navigate.

"It’s just something that I’d assumed was natural for a long time. It’s not some crazy kind of alien concept to me."

In 2013 performed at a London concert for women's charity Chime For Change and says he believes it is important for men to get engage in feminism.

"All men should be feminists. If men care about women's rights the world will be a better place," he said at a press conference for The Sound Of Change Live.

"We are better off when women are empowered – it leads to a better society."
