ED HOLTOM IS a fifteen-year-old school pupil in Hertfordshire.
He watched Emma Watson’s speech about feminism to the UN, and compared it to what he was seeing around him. And he was motivated to write a letter to the Telegraph.
That letter was published today, and is now being shared all over the damn place.
