tone/bias

I just want to raise a slight concern that your post contains a lot of bias written in it, or at least one that is not fully flushed out or supported by other arguments. Particularly where you write “Part of what makes HeForShe appealing to everyone is the lack of aggression the campaign promotes. Lately, other feminist campaigns target males as the enemy if they treat women like the stereotypical lady-like figures they were brought up to appear.” This seems to be a pretty normative statement and while I would be the last person to say that there is an objective way to say things, this reads a little too much like an anecdotal comment. It also perpetuates dangerous assumptions of "aggression" in feminist campaigns, which is itself something He for She looks to undo. As well “ so far it is safe to say that this campaign has the potential to reach new heights that the UN will live to be incredibly proud of” contains within it a few too many colloquialisms, such as “safe to say” “live to be incredibly proud of”.

I would encourage you to read again for tone and for bias while writing on something such as the He for She campaign, and I would maybe suggest a critical segment in which you look at what some of the critiques have been around the He for She campaign (not the least of which is the accusations of white feminism as well as the gender binary being reinforced).
