It is Women’s History Month this March.

The actress shot to fame after appearing in the Harry Potter series and is particularly vocal about gender equality.

[Feminism]’s not about us convincing you that gender equality is worth engaging in only because there might be something in it for you, or in it for your sister or your mother. The question is, what’s in it for humans?

Tattoo fail

Hollywood celebrities are still weighing in on the 'Times Up', and Watson is not left out. She decided to take her support a step further by tattooing the word on her arm.

The 27-year-old was spotted at the Vanity Fair Oscars party last Sunday wearing a Ralph Lauren sleeveless dress that showed plenty of arm.

But there was something off about the tattoo. The apostrophe between the E and S was missing.

Fake tattoo proofreading position available. Experience with apostrophes a must.

Was it an intentional omission or did the tattoo artist make a mistake? Watson is yet to speak about the tattoo, but social media sure is itchy about it.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say Emma Watson’s tatoo is less of a typo and more of what was available in fake tattoos

Mixed reactions

While many people praise Watson for standing up for her beliefs by getting the tattoo, other people rather pick at the missing detail.

So, blame the tatoo artist. Emma Watson wasn't there when she had a tatoo done?!? I thought she went to University?????

LOL, Emma Watson had a #timesup tatoo at the Oscars. Everyone's praising it. Everyone except for all the right wing media, who can only find one thing wrong with it: there's no apostrophe. Embarrassing!

Whatever the case may be, the fact still remains that Watson is not afraid to support the fight against sexual harassment in America. It is unlikely the absence of an apostrophe will make her change her mind.
