Emma covered the March issue of Vanity Fair, but not without some controversy. After posing topless in one of the photos from the inside spread, some people criticized her feminist views. Of course, Emma had the perfect response to the haters, saying, "Feminism is about giving women choice, feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women with, it's about freedom, it's about liberation, it's about equality. I don't really know what my tits have to do with it."
