Playing a sexualised character or having a nude scene in a film shouldn't give anyone the right to feel entitled to Portman sexually. If people feel entitled to treat actors based on their film roles then why has no one come after Edward Norton for being a neo-Nazi since he played one in American History X? There's a difference between actors and their fictional film characters. If you're going to conflate the two, be goddam consistent.
I just wanted to say "Thank You" Mrs Portman, I'm a french woman and I totally get what you're explaining. I'm not famous myself :-) not now and not when I was 12 years old, but I remember my teen years and the moment I understood that I had to protect my body. Today I'm 39 and I don't know how to say that in English : ce besoin de se protéger ne nous quitte vraiment jamais. Again, than you
It is absolutely heartbreaking what happened to her. Many of us have experienced a milder version of that when we were young girls but to have that thrown at you at such a global scale is.... terrifying.
@@luddesteen2253 have men been accosted and stalked by humans 50-75% stronger than them? More aggressive than them, with supermajorities in media, politics, and economics?
even if she did support Polanski once let's not mitigate what happened to her. no one should go through what she did. we can do this while simultaneously calling out any hypocrisy on her part
1776 She was sexualized as a minor. Does it automatically vindicate her from supporting Polanski? Absolutely not. However, it doesn’t delegitimize what happened to her and many other minors in Hollywood and around the world.
@@someothername7886 Because of what happened to her, she could have normalized the behavior. I don't agree with what she did and am not defending her actions, but just considering that could have been a factor.
@@someothername7886 I agree! I must add that Natalie said that she regrets signing the petition that was defending Polanski. She apologized. Natalie's direct words were: “I very much regret it,” she said. “I take responsibility for not thinking about it enough. Someone I respected gave it to me, and said, ‘I signed this. Will you too?’ And I was like, sure. It was a mistake. The thing I feel like I gained from it is empathy towards people who have made mistakes. We lived in a different world, and that doesn’t excuse anything. But you can have your eyes opened and completely change the way you want to live. My eyes were not open.”
she's talking from the true experience a woman has, which i feel deeply related to from my experience as a woman, including feeling disturbed hearing and reading some sexist comments and not feeling safe to express my sexuality. it is not fake at all. all i feel from the comment section is some people are in deep denial.
People who can't empathise with this (because frankly most women go through this), do not have empathy or are abusers or partake in sexualizing women. Period.
The same thing was done to Millie Bobbie Brown. I seen with my own eyes what was going on online. The sexualising of her at 13, her being styled as a grown up from ages 12+, the countdown until her 18th birthday, magazines saying how she's becoming womanly... It's sick and it happens to so many young girls in Hollywood. And it happens to young boys too. That's why I use the cast of Stranger Things. What happened to Finn Wolfhard was also the same.
and ya know what else I'm not getting enough pleasure. having every single cosmo magazine explaining in detail how to make me hypercum-Dan-Blizerian-champagne-clit-explosion-isn't-enough. a woman deserves access to an open relationship regardless what anyone but her thinks. literally nuclear drumpf guys.
"the most women respecting country in the world" yeah and it still sucks and doesnt respect women. she was a CHILD when she received a rape fantasy in the mail. all you butthurt MRAs are so transparent and fragile it's pathetic. this is why we march
+maddy, so you march because you think MRA's are fragile? or because hollywood child actors playing roles that sexualise them receive nasty mail? women in the west are the most privillaged class of people in recorded history and you're STILL bitching, i think you may be projecting, just a tad.
Kathy Murguia Living in Hollywood myself I'd say I recognise a dogwistle. You being a woman doesn't give you an edge but it's adorable to see innocence personified indeed.
@ Loreaver Obviously you're just triggered because as a western woman I have the same rights as a western man, not all women are whiny propagandised ingrates running around in pink hats being outraged by some perceived injustices that don't exist.
You people have no idea on what you’re marching for. You people live in the freest country in the world. We have more important things to protest on like helping the homeless, helping our environment, helping our sick and our poor. You all are creating a world of hate. This has nothing to do about love or acceptance.
~95% of women believe in equality, of those ~8% identify as feminist. So yes, the vast majority don't live by the doctrine of the church of feminism. But if you check the past decade, many have built careers on what you say doesn't exist.
If you combine the last national censuses of the UK & USA you'll see the #'s. This takes about 10 clicks of a smart phone, so if you're spending all your energy commenting on RUclips vids during valentine's day, I'd say you can manage the effort.
Thank you Natalie, for speaking about your experience. I see it's hard for most people who comment here to understand or relate to it. I fully understand and relate to what you're talking about, because I had similar experiences growing up and made similar choices. It felt great to hear you talking about it:)
there are women who rape little boys too, (of course that is impossible, women are always victims). more female rapists should be brought up and focused on, it is almost exotic with a female rapist, because they are so rarely brought up, but they exist. i want to know what feminists think of female rapists, are they defending their rights too, it's interesting to know. it can be your sister, mom or aunt. women can do terrible things, don't forget that.
she literally can say whatever she fucking wants up there. while she says she can't talk about certain things, she is literally in the position to say whatever she wants.
This seems to be "Feminists revealing their idiocy - Round 2" ... after Cathy Newman's interview with Jordan Peterson on Channel 4. Natalie needs some more views though, because Cathy Newman's stupidity leads wayyy ahead with 5,2 million views in 2 weeks.
No this is for preventing things happening in future. I wish women is not afraid or under pressure in middle eastern too and could protest. Western women lucky to have a right to march. And they should keep continuing to march.
cap m. Yes I did and my response was just go to the damn country and do what you do instead of doing it in a country with actual equal rights which you all feel you don’t have for some reason
cap m. All I was trying to say is that if you wanted to help certain countries you should do what you do in a certain country, and I feel that feminism isn’t what it used to be. In my opinion it’s all just for special treatment and from what I’ve seen its filled to the brim with man hating.
Why anyone would comment negatively about this speech is beyond me. Reading some of the comments here, it is very obvious why a Women's March is still necessary in 2018. And it saddens me that all the men who left disparaging comments about women have a mother. And some of them have sisters, a wife or a girlfriend, daughters, or female friends.
Maybe because half of us men are fed up with this bullshit. The truth hurts but women HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS as men at least in the U.S., what is saddening is that marches like these are intended for women to gain more privileges above the man while women is the middle East are still getting beaten by their husbands daily. I would call the real feminists the men who see through this hypocrisy.
Sonia B That's because these women are clueless drones repeating lies they have been spoon fed by Marxist ideologues. Don't expect us to sugarcoat things because your feelings are hurt. You want equality but protection from boys who are saying mean things and hurting your feelings.
UhOh My point is, what has Trump got to do with some creep in the film industry in 90s touching up Portman. And if that was happening maybe her guardians should have pulled her out of there.
Natalie Portman was butt hurt at the Emmy Awards as when she was announcing best director, she inserted the fact that they were all males as a pejorative. Natalie Portman owns a production company that has released 9 films and her company has only hired one female director, herself. Oh the irony.
Michael cause she wasn’t really hot and she wasn’t showing skin. Her career kinda relaunched after she did closer when she played a stripper. Go figure
Really had no intention of watching all of this, but could not stop. Moved me very deeply, and to tears. I admire NP so much, and respect her even more.
For a world where she can wear whatever she wants, say whatever she wants, ans do whatever she wants without fearing for physical safety and reputation! Yaaaas Queen!
Or, you know, you could try to help the homeless men get of the street, but it's not about that for you, is it? Instead of helping people, aknowledging problems and trying to fix them, you'd rather bring them down.
little april shower she ain't helping anyone. Starting a crowd funding campaign asking us regular folks like us to donate while putting no money of her own on the table. Yeah really helpful
exactly. men have a higher suicide rate and 90% of homeless are men. cuz girls can use man and their sex to get what they want and they never have to worry about being homeless or a lonely and no one loving them ever which men deal with way more
Jacqueleen Beauty why dont you guys march to el salvador or honduras where deported ms13 gangbangers murder women and girls as young as 8 with impunity instead of this bullshit march here that aint nothing but an anti-trump protest that has actually nothing to do with women!?!?
Bill Barry trump says so much shit about woman! That's why... we march about woman's rights! And trump is the president of the USA, we want respect from 'our' president... he disrespects women like a lot of men do and we're fighting it together in a march, girls that are also getting killed around the world such as El Salvador, not everyone's gonna go to El Salvador and march there... why? If you said it yourself girls get raped
Bill Barry he called girls fat, slut and he said " I perhaps If Ivanka wasn't my daughter I'd date her" or whatever the said he has no respect and yes cause he's mature for a president, he's the worst president ... he definitely made history worst president ever who disrespects women
I see a lot of nasty comments on this video, and I don't really understand where they are coming from. If someone could intelligently explain to me why so many people seem to hate this I would much appreciate it.
I'm so sick of hearing that women can't say what they want. What are you doing up on that stage?? Clearly it's men who can't say what they want because whenever we do, it gets protested or removed. Women are the ones telling men what's right and wrong, not the other way around.
coniljw j What do you mean we need to stand up?? All the actors in Hollywood are wearing #metoo pins and supporting the movement. You just want total control, hence the "castration" part of your comment. By the way, men get accused of assault and rape when the mere subject of female genital mutilation comes up, so I'd really look at the position you WOMEN are in to be able to say stuff like that and not get punished.
This from a woman who is friends with Roman Polanski. This from a woman who has a production company that has made 9 films that have been produced 1 female. She is a sick hypocrite
The Professional is one of my favorite movies. I always looked at it as two friends teaching the ways of how they live and truly growing up for the first time. Both with a connection between them that they didn't want to share, yet would be there for one another no matter what. Maybe it was my age at the time' I saw the film (12), that made me feel that way. Never did I see a girl sexually, but one becoming a teen/adult. To know now how men saw her sickens me. Knowing we live in a world like this. I have always beloved both a man and a woman should be looked at evenly. Probably because both my parents worked and raised me this way. I hope we can live in a world where there is no need for a woman's march or equal rights debates. For, if we are all truly equal, there would never be a need for these things.
Have to laugh at all the salty boys commenting here. Women and men are out there changing things for the better, getting involved, running for office, marching, all you're doing is sitting on your butt in front of the computer writing comments ;)
@Muck006 Oxford? Don't know where you got that conclusion but Oxford is far more superior as it has many great graduates such as Stephen Hawking, Oscar Wilde even Bill Clinton went to Oxford. Harvard graduates? Natalie Portman, Matt Damon, Conan etc. To sum up a bunch of idiots.
IM GOING TO STAND ON THIS STAGE AGAIN...WITH THIS MIC AGAIN...AND FOR THE SECOND TIME TALK ABOUT HOW WOMEN DONT HAVE A VOICE. AND CANT EXPRESS OURSELF. ...when is the NEXT womens March? when is the Mens March again?
Cory90 If you don't feel you need to march, that's your right just as it is the right of these people to march. You also have the right to your opinion as do those that attended these marches. I will point out, though, that quite a few of the comments on this page actually ask "where's the men's march?". As I said, if these people want a men's march, they are quite within their rights to organise one.
Study after study has shown that women are interrupted more than men; that men speak significantly more in meetings than women do (one study found they account for 75% of conversation); that even when women speak less they are perceived to have spoken more; and that male execs who talk more than their peers are viewed to be more competent, while female execs are viewed as less competent. And here is a woman sharing her experience with movie reviewers writing about "budding breasts", sexualizing her body at 13 years old, yet none of these comment threads mention that. The issue is that a lot of the time when women speak out, they are not taken seriously as compared with men. When you're not being taken seriously, you don't have a real voice.
Give me a break women's march yeah unless your a unborn women, conservative women, Christian women, or women for 2nd admendment , capitalist women, Iranian women, and woman who voted for Donald Trump!!. #WomensMarch2018
I want to hear from women from other impoverished countries and circumstance. I want to hear from women that really do something meaningful with there lives. Not just prance around and look pretty. Sorry but its sickening to see these entitled crybaby's when there so much more important things we need to worry about it. Let a woman from North Korea speak, I'll be all ears then and number 1 fan. Lets here what she had to endure and overcome.
I am so sick of celebrities. I am tired of every generation having our real issues circumvented and taken over for a media circus. I like Natalie Portman and her experience is just as valid as anyone, but what the hell does she mean make a revolution of desire? That sounds like some garbage a bad writer threw in her speech. How about giving women direct information for what to do if they are a victim and organizing support for survivors? What about giving women advice on self defense and self awareness and of self empowerment? Why not give women a platform to speak their own truths? If you want people to change their behavior you first have to change your own. A man cannot act like a predator and expect the woman to comply and the woman cannot behave to attract negative attention and expect not to attract negative attention. She can expect justice however if she's victimized and that is another issue we aren't hearing celebrities address is how to change the laws so that victims and survivors can get justice. Statute of limitation laws where evidence exists should be eliminated. A national hotline for victims should be established. Special victims units in police departments and funding for rape kits. It's all nice to say times up but then what is moving forward? What is it you want moving forward? This is why I get tired of celebrities and media campaigns that take over issues people bring up. The country wants to look like they're having some movement but i see no movement. I see a carefully orchestrated media campaign and I see absolutely no movement on any legislation that brings about change.
These celebrity speeches do more harm than good. People are tired of hearing the same complaints and dissatisfaction. Quite a number of people afterwards just turn the "movement" into hate instead of forwarding any progress.
I think there isn’t as much sexism out there as Portman thinks. First, she’s in an industry where women basically market their bodies and looks in general so it shouldn’t be surprising. In other industries women are accepted in positions of authority and it’s all about how you present yourself. I think Portman isn’t letting people do the jobs they’re there for. She might be telling people how to do their jobs, might be embarrassing people by chastising them in front of everyone and possibly being endlessly critical. She over intellectualizes a lot and I think she takes too much on herself and might even think she knows more than a lot of trained professionals. So they get sick of it and tell the press.
Soo much ignorance in the comments.. it's sad that you still don't see the problem and don't get that women are scared for their safety anywhere in the world. And yes these things happen to men too, but it's really a drop in the ocean in comparison to women and some women have spoken about it, so don't just please stop being ignorant!
What I want, what I desire… me, me, me. Stop focusing only on your needs and desires and look to help and serve others. Then you will find happiness. Narcissistic behavior will never satisfy you.
Ah Shutup, nobody cares if they vote for you or not. If I had the chance, I would vote for Natalie cause she’s my idol. But I still got a little while til I’m at the voting age.
Because she is another human being. With a voice. Oh, yes, it's your choice to listen or not. But whether you agree with someone or not, listening can be helpful in knowing where people stand and in furthering the conversation. Shutting your ears isn't going to help anyone. I sincerely doubt you only listen to what politicians (moreso, only those you voted for) say.
SusanBailey AmazingEstate Did you watch this video? She's not talking about politics, she's talking about her experiences with sexual harrassment and how she received letters with rape fantasies in them when she was thirteen... thirteen! She also talks about how film reviewers spoke about her "budding breasts", how a radio DJ did a countdown to her eighteenth birthday when she would be "legal" and how this affected her young life. This isn't about Democrats or Republicans, this is about how women and girls have the right to feel safe. Watch the damned video and comment on her experiences and what your stance is on this societal, not political, issue.
Damn crazy bitches They started the shit with men by getting them to marry them and then leaving them and hitting them up for alimony child support ect No wonder young men don’t want to get married anymore It’s just not worth it!!!
brayden _ idk about the OP, but I was talking about the movement more so than the talking heads involved with the movement. The cynic in me says it’s just more hot air.
RhondaH A memo summarizing a congressional investigation is fake? That would be a serious crime and you’re making a slanderous accusation. Do you have any proof for what you say? No. I’m sure you don’t. Liberals chant. They don’t debate. Liberals chant to shut down debate because they can’t backup their arguments. It’s all about the feels, not facts, with the kids.
Jose Villasenor I read a story a couple months ago that said President Trump was setting up the Democrats all along. That he knew about the DNC paying for the Russia memo, about them stealing the nomination from Sanders, about Clinton using the DNC as a front for her campaign funds, about Uranium One, all of it, before he was even elected. He knew about their RICO level crimes and let Mueller and the FBI investigate everything, on and on, not caring what CNN said about him day after day, because he knew the investigation would inevitably uncover what the Democrats were doing. When I read that article, I thought they were giving the president too much credit. Nobody can play chess a year ahead of everyone else. Now the Democrats want to keep that congressional summary memo secret - no way will it stay secret. I think maybe our president is a lot smarter than anyone gives him credit for. I also think Hillary Clinton AND BARRACK OBAMA are dirtier than anyone ever imagined. The only reason she was protected last year is because the corruption, the secret email accounts, went all the way to the top, to Obama. I don’t care about Strzuk. Sure, prosecute him. Clean up the FBI, of course. What I really want to know is why Holder didn’t prosecute Clinton, and that could only be because he was protecting his boss.
I was thinking it may point at a backlash because people are noticing there is a growing resistance to the way things were. And they resent that. I can understand that, it's like Weinstein's defense: it used to be a lot different. Yes, but that doesn't mean it was _okay_ . It was just more convenient for people like him. Now that type of behaviour is less and less tolerated. And adapting to that isn't always easy or.. desirable for some people. A lot of people have also become quite capable of dismissing people's words for many different reasons. Just so they don't have to listen, I suppose. Call it PC. SJW. Left. Hollywood. Privileged. Not that there aren't people on all sides who do that, of course, but that should never be an excuse.
K. R. Most men treat women with the respect and dignity they deserve. As for fearing women in power, well yeah. We fear dillusional woman in power... Which is exactly what the Celebrity hypocrites are. Every statement she make beginning to end is wrong. No voice, yet there she is speaking freely. Her parents, and then eventually herself made bad choices, but she's the victim??? What the hell does she want? People to prevent her from making bad choices? Bat shit crazy!!!
K. R. Your comment would only have validity if you were referring to countries such as Saudi Arabia, where women are more or less legal slaves. But if you were talking about the West, none of what you said has any reflection on the real world. Surely, there are sexist men and opressive men out there, but that can be said about both sexes. Your comment suggests there is some kind of worldwide tradition of men treating women poorly and unfairly. If you want to see a place where women being treated horribly is an establishment, visit a Middle Eastern country.
I've always deeply admired Ms Portman from her incredible ground breaking performance in The Professional through her entire acting and political career. I saw and related to her role as a child of severe abuse and trauma searching for resolution and family, anywhere. Often in the most unlikely places like an illiterate exploited hitman whose best friend is a plant. Leon was also a deeply abused person, exploited by Danny Aelo's character Tony. And for me as a male abuse and rape survivor it touches me that Ms. Portman uses gender inclusivity in calling for a Revolution of Desire for all. I was sexualized by my mother as early as 11, ( she took me to see "The Graduate" I was 11, and later Midnight Cowboy, ) which among other things severely distorted my developing sexual self and set me up to be raped at 14 & 17. I never fully recovered from these breaks to my soul. We learn, we become aware, we hurt, we grieve and we do our best to live in the present. It is tragic what she and other women have endured in the public eye and yet she has confronted it and been empowered by it and is standing up and saying her truth. Thank you Ms. Portman for standing up for us all.
So much dislikes but I bet those people haven't even heard her words I relate to her story so much and had the same reaction towards the sexualization, I'm only realizing recently how fucked up I am because of all of this.
kez kezooie yes i know but she should talk about the corruption of Israel the country which she was born Many under age girls were arrested there where was she? She is just a hypocrite bitch Many women are in prison with no trial where is her big mouth
Som Trequile wow...I had no idea women were molested at every job here in the US. I must have missed it all these years. I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but if you are...good joke! Maybe they'll finally let women drive there. And maybe one day there won't need to be 3 male witnesses if a woman accuses someone of rape. Gotta love Sharia Law.
Som Trequile how do you feel about acid getting thrown in a woman's face for looking at a man? Some also result in genital mutilation. Are you completely oblivious to reality?
She says lets "make a revolution of desire" but doesnt want women to be sexualized. What if men desire women sexually? What about my desire, my pleasure??
I dont think she is against females being sexual, I think she was just spooked by the 'over-the-top' sexualization' by grown men that she experienced as a child actress.
C. A. J Portman is greatly accomplished in her field and well-respected amongst her peers. She's also done a great deal of humanitarian work. How do you find the OP to be incorrect?
St.James Because I chose to defend an intelligent woman expressing her oppinions regarding woman's issues? And that's your assessment from what little I said? Interesting.
MooseT Yes, it does have to do with fragile egos. Once white men see another group of people fight for equality they don’t like it, they get hurt so easily by women protesting against a sexist president, against an oppressing system. I’m sorry but if you’re a man, you’re already privileged, even more if you’re white, so you don’t get a say in women’s rights. This is what we’re fighting for.
So the actress who was once willingly took part in a movie that invoked pedophilia and has openly stated that she wants Roman Polanski Pardoned is going to tell us all how to behave?!?!
ultraofrahfan1 OMG! A girl got a dirty letter! 1st worlds do not have women's rights issues. She needs to go to like syria and similar places where women actually have no rights. Not hollywood.
chulia k. I have a daughter whose mother has almost had her taken away twice by dhs. To a foster home for throwing temper tantrums when she doesn't get her way. I get pulled into court because she's unfit. So yeah go back to complaining about your petty nonsense or get a Starbucks. Go watch kardashians..
i always liked you, but im really disappointed natalie. to lead the anger in the direction of a whole group of people will change nothing. this kind of anger never helps... why not fight for appropriate behavior for all human beings instead of just for women? that's just as sexist as the other shit for me... men have enough problems today and even famous male stars get mails or fanfictions with "rape fantasys" from women or other stuff... some sick female teachers do stuff to their students as you can hear in the news and much more... so what is this all?
She's just a Hollywood puppet being paid to propandise weak minded women who are being used as nothing more than a tool of division. BTW I am a female and I don't agree with these marches at all because I have nothing to be outraged about when it comes to equal rights.
Oh dear. If you can’t see how much inequality is demonstrated throughout the culture, regardless of which laws have been passed, then you are blind to the reality of life for many, many women. The examples you cite of abuse directed towards men do happen, but are a drop in the ocean compared with what women have undergone for centuries. There is no equivalence here.
The problem is that this is all going to end very badly for women. They have removed the power from men, and now we have no power to help women, no incentive to help women (because apparently now we are competing with them), and there are not enough women who want to inspire us be good men, and reward us for becoming good men. So a lot of these women have called for a world without men. What they will end up with is a world without any good men. And if you are a woman and that doesn't scare you, then you are very stupid.
I use to respect here, but in the end she's just a basic bitch. Look at the people worshiping her in these comments. Nothing we haven't heard before. "Oh I'm a privilege women who bothered by words, respect meeeee!!!!!"
Thank you for mansplaining this from the privileged white male perspective. Saying "for all humans" ignoring the different experiences people go through who aren't as privileged as you. When was the last time some guy grabbed your ass or made a stupid comment just because you're male? Exactly, bye bye.
Playing a sexualised character or having a nude scene in a film shouldn't give anyone the right to feel entitled to Portman sexually. If people feel entitled to treat actors based on their film roles then why has no one come after Edward Norton for being a neo-Nazi since he played one in American History X? There's a difference between actors and their fictional film characters. If you're going to conflate the two, be goddam consistent.
THANK YOU
I just wanted to say "Thank You" Mrs Portman, I'm a french woman and I totally get what you're explaining. I'm not famous myself :-) not now and not when I was 12 years old, but I remember my teen years and the moment I understood that I had to protect my body. Today I'm 39 and I don't know how to say that in English : ce besoin de se protéger ne nous quitte vraiment jamais. Again, than you
this need to protect oneself really never leaves us
It is absolutely heartbreaking what happened to her. Many of us have experienced a milder version of that when we were young girls but to have that thrown at you at such a global scale is.... terrifying.

It was a mistake. The thing I feel like I gained from it is empathy towards people who have made mistakes. We lived in a different world, and that doesn’t excuse anything.

Love how everyone just conveniently ignores what she's actually talking about
she's talking from the true experience a woman has, which i feel deeply related to from my experience as a woman, including feeling disturbed hearing and reading some sexist comments and not feeling safe to express my sexuality. it is not fake at all. all i feel from the comment section is some people are in deep denial.
People who can't empathise with this (because frankly most women go through this), do not have empathy or are abusers or partake in sexualizing women. Period.
That story was a shock. I’ll never see her the same again. The idea of someone sending her a letter and the countdown is just disgusting.
She illustrates double standards for genders, in a crystal clear way. She rocks!
The same thing was done to Millie Bobbie Brown. I seen with my own eyes what was going on online. The sexualising of her at 13, her being styled as a grown up from ages 12+, the countdown until her 18th birthday, magazines saying how she's becoming womanly... It's sick and it happens to so many young girls in Hollywood. And it happens to young boys too. That's why I use the cast of Stranger Things. What happened to Finn Wolfhard was also the same.
So many women-hating comments. This is the reason we need march like this.
It's important that we remember that Natalie Portman is one of the ones that signed the petition to free Roman Polanski.

+maddy, so you march because you think MRA's are fragile? or because hollywood child actors playing roles that sexualise them receive nasty mail?
women in the west are the most privillaged class of people in recorded history and you're STILL bitching, i think you may be projecting, just a tad.
I hear words but no logic or meaning..
why do you hate women
Nneoma Uche nobody here hates women, just feminism
Nneoma Uche I am woman and I hate Feminists
@siân diann 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you can't say shit about men committing murder. bitches get to kill the innocent on a daily. GTFO 🤘
Cuz you need a brain to comprehend.
Yeah she discovered her womanhood att the age of 12. Hollywood is sad.
Jimmy Johansson That is around the age when puberty starts yes she can say she discovered womenhood.
Kathy Murguia Living in Hollywood myself I'd say I recognise a dogwistle. You being a woman doesn't give you an edge but it's adorable to see innocence personified indeed.
Hollywood was sad
JPJ Yeah. In Leon the Professional.
@Rockmore Records chill
As I western female I am puzzled as to what I am supposed to be having a revolution for that just pertains to my gender?
Thyalwaysseek obviously you hate yourself and is sexist
+Loreaver you’re a sexist for suggesting she must march to these idiotic women’s drum beat. Check your privilege, soy boy!
@ Loreaver
Obviously you're just triggered because as a western woman I have the same rights as a western man, not all women are whiny propagandised ingrates running around in pink hats being outraged by some perceived injustices that don't exist.
lol I was being sarcastic sorry
+Loreaver haha no prob. I was replying more to the blanket sentiment than to you anyway
You people have no idea on what you’re marching for. You people live in the freest country in the world. We have more important things to protest on like helping the homeless, helping our environment, helping our sick and our poor. You all are creating a world of hate. This has nothing to do about love or acceptance.
Antonio deCarmoducci why does it have to be about race? Dumb Ass!
90% of males are homeless. Not my fight and nor do I care.

Antonio deCarmoducci how do you know hes a white male
Urban Essence that is a false statistic. 9/10 men arent homeless
She owns a production company which has put out 9 films,
only one of those films used a female director, who did she hire? herself. *think about it*
Ultra Unity secret is women hate other women their hate for men is the only thing that unites them
0 0 women dont hate men wtf are you talking about?
~95% of women believe in equality, of those ~8% identify as feminist.
So yes, the vast majority don't live by the doctrine of the church of feminism.
But if you check the past decade, many have built careers on what you say doesn't exist.
Ultra Unity can you please tell me where you got those statistics?
If you combine the last national censuses of the UK & USA you'll see the #'s.
This takes about 10 clicks of a smart phone, so if you're spending all your energy commenting on RUclips vids during valentine's day, I'd say you can manage the effort.
Thank you Natalie, for speaking about your experience. I see it's hard for most people who comment here to understand or relate to it. I fully understand and relate to what you're talking about, because I had similar experiences growing up and made similar choices. It felt great to hear you talking about it:)
there are women who rape little boys too, (of course that is impossible, women are always victims). more female rapists should be brought up and focused on, it is almost exotic with a female rapist, because they are so rarely brought up, but they exist. i want to know what feminists think of female rapists, are they defending their rights too, it's interesting to know. it can be your sister, mom or aunt. women can do terrible things, don't forget that.
God I haven't seen a comment section that bad since 2013...
What happened in 2013?
2013 !
What happened !? 🤔
THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW

You should watch Amber Heard's Access Hollywood video.
And the comment section is something else 😅
You as a woman can’t say what you want?! All while giving a speech freely! Smh
Michael Scott lol
So true😅
she literally can say whatever she fucking wants up there. while she says she can't talk about certain things, she is literally in the position to say whatever she wants.
mind fucking blown
Ikr like why tf are any of these people here right now? What are they protesting?
Reading these comments is horrifying!
This seems to be "Feminists revealing their idiocy - Round 2" ... after Cathy Newman's interview with Jordan Peterson on Channel 4. Natalie needs some more views though, because Cathy Newman's stupidity leads wayyy ahead with 5,2 million views in 2 weeks.
charronfilms your comment has proven to be a great honeypot for butthurt MRAs
Hi Neta, how's the production company coming along?
Hired any more female directors yet?
charronfilms Reading her speech is horrifying
It's just incels trying to validate themselves. At least we realise our fight is real and scary against irrational morons.
You people need to go to Afghanistan where woman are actually oppressed
I think maybe just maybe this is a reversal and these western women do wanna be opressed
No this is for preventing things happening in future. I wish women is not afraid or under pressure in middle eastern too and could protest. Western women lucky to have a right to march. And they should keep continuing to march.
cap m. Just go to the oppressed country and help instead of yelling and marching in a country which isn’t actually oppressed
cap m. Yes I did and my response was just go to the damn country and do what you do instead of doing it in a country with actual equal rights which you all feel you don’t have for some reason
cap m. All I was trying to say is that if you wanted to help certain countries you should do what you do in a certain country, and I feel that feminism isn’t what it used to be. In my opinion it’s all just for special treatment and from what I’ve seen its filled to the brim with man hating.
Why anyone would comment negatively about this speech is beyond me. Reading some of the comments here, it is very obvious why a Women's March is still necessary in 2018. And it saddens me that all the men who left disparaging comments about women have a mother. And some of them have sisters, a wife or a girlfriend, daughters, or female friends.
Sonia B Well said and very true.
Because she supports this cause but supports another injustice in Israel who are occupying Palestine, and its people! Pot, kettle black comes to mind!
I have all and they don’t understand these women either!!
Maybe because half of us men are fed up with this bullshit. The truth hurts but women HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS as men at least in the U.S., what is saddening is that marches like these are intended for women to gain more privileges above the man while women is the middle East are still getting beaten by their husbands daily. I would call the real feminists the men who see through this hypocrisy.
Sonia B That's because these women are clueless drones repeating lies they have been spoon fed by Marxist ideologues. Don't expect us to sugarcoat things because your feelings are hurt. You want equality but protection from boys who are saying mean things and hurting your feelings.
How is this Trumps fault? Should she not be blaming her parents for putting her in this position. Lunatics.
that's not even logical UhOh
UhOh My point is, what has Trump got to do with some creep in the film industry in 90s touching up Portman. And if that was happening maybe her guardians should have pulled her out of there.
UhOh Ah I see, the new left are somewhat like the left of Stalins times, guilty until proven innocent.
Nate john what? Communism is a far left ideology.

Natalie Portman was butt hurt at the Emmy Awards as when she was announcing best director, she inserted the fact that they were all males as a pejorative. Natalie Portman owns a production company that has released 9 films and her company has only hired one female director, herself. Oh the irony.
yes because tokenizing women in the workforce is what she should do /s. also not all women are as lucky as she is to be in her position

I see 90% more homeless men In the street! There should be more homeless women on the street so we can be equal!
Or, you know, you could try to help the homeless men get of the street, but it's not about that for you, is it? Instead of helping people, aknowledging problems and trying to fix them, you'd rather bring them down.
little april shower she ain't helping anyone. Starting a crowd funding campaign asking us regular folks like us to donate while putting no money of her own on the table. Yeah really helpful
little april shower how do I bring them down? I just using homeless as a example! What do u do to help the community out?
Because your intention isn't to get men of the street, it's to get women on it.
exactly. men have a higher suicide rate and 90% of homeless are men. cuz girls can use man and their sex to get what they want and they never have to worry about being homeless or a lonely and no one loving them ever which men deal with way more

Trump 2020
Trump 2020 KEEP AMERICA GREAT
Loooooooool the comments here just prove everything
Why is it called a womans march???
Bill Barry cause we march for each other
Jacqueleen Beauty why dont you guys march to el salvador or honduras where deported ms13 gangbangers murder women and girls as young as 8 with impunity instead of this bullshit march here that aint nothing but an anti-trump protest that has actually nothing to do with women!?!?
Bill Barry trump says so much shit about woman! That's why... we march about woman's rights! And trump is the president of the USA, we want respect from 'our' president... he disrespects women like a lot of men do and we're fighting it together in a march, girls that are also getting killed around the world such as El Salvador, not everyone's gonna go to El Salvador and march there... why? If you said it yourself girls get raped
Bill Barry women*
Bill Barry he called girls fat, slut and he said " I perhaps If Ivanka wasn't my daughter I'd date her" or whatever the said he has no respect and yes cause he's mature for a president, he's the worst president ... he definitely made history worst president ever who disrespects women
I see a lot of nasty comments on this video, and I don't really understand where they are coming from. If someone could intelligently explain to me why so many people seem to hate this I would much appreciate it.
I'm so sick of hearing that women can't say what they want. What are you doing up on that stage?? Clearly it's men who can't say what they want because whenever we do, it gets protested or removed. Women are the ones telling men what's right and wrong, not the other way around.
And you MEN better stand up because these angry lib bit*ches are going to castrate you all. Remember Lorena Bobbett? She is speaking next year......
coniljw j What do you mean we need to stand up?? All the actors in Hollywood are wearing #metoo pins and supporting the movement. You just want total control, hence the "castration" part of your comment. By the way, men get accused of assault and rape when the mere subject of female genital mutilation comes up, so I'd really look at the position you WOMEN are in to be able to say stuff like that and not get punished.
Alexander TheGreatest LOL so true what the heck.. I always say what i want.. I dont give a crap shit about what men might think.. Wtf
As if the Star Wars prequels were reason enough to hate her, now we discover she's a hypocrite.
Gerald N Anakin! You’re breaking my heart!
This from a woman who is friends with Roman Polanski.
This from a woman who has a production company that has made 9 films that have been produced 1 female.
She is a sick hypocrite
The Professional is one of my favorite movies. I always looked at it as two friends teaching the ways of how they live and truly growing up for the first time. Both with a connection between them that they didn't want to share, yet would be there for one another no matter what. Maybe it was my age at the time' I saw the film (12), that made me feel that way. Never did I see a girl sexually, but one becoming a teen/adult. To know now how men saw her sickens me. Knowing we live in a world like this. I have always beloved both a man and a woman should be looked at evenly. Probably because both my parents worked and raised me this way. I hope we can live in a world where there is no need for a woman's march or equal rights debates. For, if we are all truly equal, there would never be a need for these things.
Imagine if we would get this many people to pick up trash and plant trees .
Respect wamen.
Jonathan Billings respekt

Nevermore mah boi
My wife wants a younger man as her concubine. I'm thinking of it as outsourcing. Burrppp.

Have to laugh at all the salty boys commenting here. Women and men are out there changing things for the better, getting involved, running for office, marching, all you're doing is sitting on your butt in front of the computer writing comments ;)

Wow. Eye opening testimony. Truth. Thank you
IM GOING TO STAND ON THIS STAGE AGAIN...WITH THIS MIC AGAIN...AND FOR THE SECOND TIME TALK ABOUT HOW WOMEN DONT HAVE A VOICE. AND CANT EXPRESS OURSELF.
...when is the NEXT womens March? when is the Mens March again?
Michael If you want to organise a Mens' March, have at it.
If you're gonna have a march kez, atleast give it some substance. btw men don't need to march, were troopers.
Cory90 If you don't feel you need to march, that's your right just as it is the right of these people to march.
You also have the right to your opinion as do those that attended these marches.
I will point out, though, that quite a few of the comments on this page actually ask "where's the men's march?".
As I said, if these people want a men's march, they are quite within their rights to organise one.
um ok
Study after study has shown that women are interrupted more than men; that men speak significantly more in meetings than women do (one study found they account for 75% of conversation); that even when women speak less they are perceived to have spoken more; and that male execs who talk more than their peers are viewed to be more competent, while female execs are viewed as less competent.
And here is a woman sharing her experience with movie reviewers writing about "budding breasts", sexualizing her body at 13 years old, yet none of these comment threads mention that. The issue is that a lot of the time when women speak out, they are not taken seriously as compared with men. When you're not being taken seriously, you don't have a real voice.
I respect nurses more than actresses.
ok then, name some of your fave people in the nursing profession.
Well yeah I suppose they do more
these ppl really are sick....
Give me a break women's march yeah unless your a unborn women, conservative women, Christian women, or women for 2nd admendment , capitalist women, Iranian women, and woman who voted for Donald Trump!!. #WomensMarch2018
Irianian women have nothing to do with this and why would we want traitors like conservative and trump supporting women?
Tabby Reed they don't have a say in how they run their own life. Hypocrite. Iranian women are actually oppressed.
most of the women you just mentioned are free to take part in these marches, or create ones of their own.
Love and support from Scotland
That so true ! Thanks for this intervention
I've never been embarrassed or ashamed to be a woman....until now.
Where were you last year? Lol jk
I want to hear from women from other impoverished countries and circumstance. I want to hear from women that really do something meaningful with there lives. Not just prance around and look pretty. Sorry but its sickening to see these entitled crybaby's when there so much more important things we need to worry about it. Let a woman from North Korea speak, I'll be all ears then and number 1 fan. Lets here what she had to endure and overcome.
Tired of this new feminist view...it does not speak for a majority of us... so frustrating.
Fragile ego issues?
@@amandawhite4573 you're a disgrace
is that jessica from fresh of the boat?
I am so sick of celebrities. I am tired of every generation having our real issues circumvented and taken over for a media circus. I like Natalie Portman and her experience is just as valid as anyone, but what the hell does she mean make a revolution of desire? That sounds like some garbage a bad writer threw in her speech. How about giving women direct information for what to do if they are a victim and organizing support for survivors? What about giving women advice on self defense and self awareness and of self empowerment? Why not give women a platform to speak their own truths? If you want people to change their behavior you first have to change your own. A man cannot act like a predator and expect the woman to comply and the woman cannot behave to attract negative attention and expect not to attract negative attention. She can expect justice however if she's victimized and that is another issue we aren't hearing celebrities address is how to change the laws so that victims and survivors can get justice. Statute of limitation laws where evidence exists should be eliminated. A national hotline for victims should be established. Special victims units in police departments and funding for rape kits. It's all nice to say times up but then what is moving forward? What is it you want moving forward? This is why I get tired of celebrities and media campaigns that take over issues people bring up. The country wants to look like they're having some movement but i see no movement. I see a carefully orchestrated media campaign and I see absolutely no movement on any legislation that brings about change.
These celebrity speeches do more harm than good. People are tired of hearing the same complaints and dissatisfaction. Quite a number of people afterwards just turn the "movement" into hate instead of forwarding any progress.
woman?? I have NO Idea what a woman is?? can you explain Natalie
I think there isn’t as much sexism out there as Portman thinks. First, she’s in an industry where women basically market their bodies and looks in general so it shouldn’t be surprising. In other industries women are accepted in positions of authority and it’s all about how you present yourself.
I think Portman isn’t letting people do the jobs they’re there for. She might be telling people how to do their jobs, might be embarrassing people by chastising them in front of everyone and possibly being endlessly critical.
She over intellectualizes a lot and I think she takes too much on herself and might even think she knows more than a lot of trained professionals. So they get sick of it and tell the press.
She's incredibly intelligent and well-spoken.

You’re taking political advice from celebrities! Ya know, people paid to pretend. How do you not see the irony of your comment?
Ah Shutup, nobody cares if they vote for you or not. If I had the chance, I would vote for Natalie cause she’s my idol. But I still got a little while til I’m at the voting age.
Because she is another human being. With a voice. Oh, yes, it's your choice to listen or not. But whether you agree with someone or not, listening can be helpful in knowing where people stand and in furthering the conversation. Shutting your ears isn't going to help anyone.
I sincerely doubt you only listen to what politicians (moreso, only those you voted for) say.
SusanBailey AmazingEstate Did you watch this video? She's not talking about politics, she's talking about her experiences with sexual harrassment and how she received letters with rape fantasies in them when she was thirteen... thirteen! She also talks about how film reviewers spoke about her "budding breasts", how a radio DJ did a countdown to her eighteenth birthday when she would be "legal" and how this affected her young life.
This isn't about Democrats or Republicans, this is about how women and girls have the right to feel safe.
Watch the damned video and comment on her experiences and what your stance is on this societal, not political, issue.
These bitches trippin
yeah man
Damn crazy bitches
They started the shit with men by getting them to marry them and then leaving them and hitting them up for alimony child support ect

A memo summarizing a congressional investigation is fake? That would be a serious crime and you’re making a slanderous accusation. Do you have any proof for what you say?
No. I’m sure you don’t. Liberals chant. They don’t debate. Liberals chant to shut down debate because they can’t backup their arguments. It’s all about the feels, not facts, with the kids.
Jose Villasenor
I read a story a couple months ago that said President Trump was setting up the Democrats all along. That he knew about the DNC paying for the Russia memo, about them stealing the nomination from Sanders, about Clinton using the DNC as a front for her campaign funds, about Uranium One, all of it, before he was even elected. He knew about their RICO level crimes and let Mueller and the FBI investigate everything, on and on, not caring what CNN said about him day after day, because he knew the investigation would inevitably uncover what the Democrats were doing.
When I read that article, I thought they were giving the president too much credit. Nobody can play chess a year ahead of everyone else. Now the Democrats want to keep that congressional summary memo secret - no way will it stay secret. I think maybe our president is a lot smarter than anyone gives him credit for.
I also think Hillary Clinton AND BARRACK OBAMA are dirtier than anyone ever imagined. The only reason she was protected last year is because the corruption, the secret email accounts, went all the way to the top, to Obama. I don’t care about Strzuk. Sure, prosecute him. Clean up the FBI, of course. What I really want to know is why Holder didn’t prosecute Clinton, and that could only be because he was protecting his boss.

Traitors4Trump Dumpty haha you're triggered I've been here 5 mins and seen 4 of you're comments
Leon: the professional really did mess her head up.
Why do women with the highest standard of living in the world want to be viewed as perpetual victims?
Natalie is talking in a positive manner and isn’t being offensive. So why is there a backlash in the comments?
I was thinking it may point at a backlash because people are noticing there is a growing resistance to the way things were. And they resent that. I can understand that, it's like Weinstein's defense: it used to be a lot different. Yes, but that doesn't mean it was _okay_ . It was just more convenient for people like him. Now that type of behaviour is less and less tolerated. And adapting to that isn't always easy or.. desirable for some people.
A lot of people have also become quite capable of dismissing people's words for many different reasons. Just so they don't have to listen, I suppose. Call it PC. SJW. Left. Hollywood. Privileged. Not that there aren't people on all sides who do that, of course, but that should never be an excuse.
She is supremasist and against equality
K. R. Most men treat women with the respect and dignity they deserve. As for fearing women in power, well yeah. We fear dillusional woman in power... Which is exactly what the Celebrity hypocrites are. Every statement she make beginning to end is wrong. No voice, yet there she is speaking freely. Her parents, and then eventually herself made bad choices, but she's the victim??? What the hell does she want? People to prevent her from making bad choices? Bat shit crazy!!!
K. R. Your comment would only have validity if you were referring to countries such as Saudi Arabia, where women are more or less legal slaves. But if you were talking about the West, none of what you said has any reflection on the real world. Surely, there are sexist men and opressive men out there, but that can be said about both sexes. Your comment suggests there is some kind of worldwide tradition of men treating women poorly and unfairly. If you want to see a place where women being treated horribly is an establishment, visit a Middle Eastern country.

Thank you so much for standing up for women’s civil rights! 💚❤️🔥 from Alabama
I've always deeply admired Ms Portman from her incredible ground breaking performance in The Professional through her entire acting and political career. I saw and related to her role as a child of severe abuse and trauma searching for resolution and family, anywhere. Often in the most unlikely places like an illiterate exploited hitman whose best friend is a plant. Leon was also a deeply abused person, exploited by Danny Aelo's character Tony.
And for me as a male abuse and rape survivor it touches me that Ms. Portman uses gender inclusivity in calling for a Revolution of Desire for all.
I was sexualized by my mother as early as 11, ( she took me to see "The Graduate" I was 11, and later Midnight Cowboy, ) which among other things severely distorted my developing sexual self and set me up to be raped at 14 & 17.
I never fully recovered from these breaks to my soul.
We learn, we become aware, we hurt, we grieve and we do our best to live in the present.
It is tragic what she and other women have endured in the public eye and yet she has confronted it and been empowered by it and is standing up and saying her truth. Thank you Ms. Portman for standing up for us all.
great! as a woman of course I agree....
So much dislikes but I bet those people haven't even heard her words
I relate to her story so much and had the same reaction towards the sexualization, I'm only realizing recently how fucked up I am because of all of this.
Great speech, right on the point.
I love her. I remember watching her as a kid on Star Wars.
isn't she an Israeli?
She holds dual citizenship.
kez kezooie yes i know but she should talk about the corruption of Israel the country which she was born

Maybe they'll finally let women drive there. And maybe one day there won't need to be 3 male witnesses if a woman accuses someone of rape. Gotta love Sharia Law.
Som Trequile how do you feel about acid getting thrown in a woman's face for looking at a man? Some also result in genital mutilation. Are you completely oblivious to reality?
I knew I shouldn't have read the comments. These kinds of attacks from commenters are the reason we need women's marches.
Paulina S No need
All the comments above mine just prove her point lmao, yall hypocritical as fuck
Paulina S Oh shut up, these wealthy women aren’t repressed. They need to get over themselves, and so do you.
You're a man, of course you'll say some ignorant shit like that
I didn't know Hollywood was like syria for women!
She says lets "make a revolution of desire" but doesnt want women to be sexualized. What if men desire women sexually? What about my desire, my pleasure??
I dont think she is against females being sexual, I think she was just spooked by the 'over-the-top' sexualization' by grown men that she experienced as a child actress.
Why is everyone so angry in the comment section like damn.

She's a fucking liberal whore, that's it!
This thread is certainly void of integrity.
St.James
Because I chose to defend an intelligent woman expressing her oppinions regarding woman's issues? And that's your assessment from what little I said? Interesting.
damn, these men in the comment section have really fragile egos
MooseT Yes, it does have to do with fragile egos. Once white men see another group of people fight for equality they don’t like it, they get hurt so easily by women protesting against a sexist president, against an oppressing system. I’m sorry but if you’re a man, you’re already privileged, even more if you’re white, so you don’t get a say in women’s rights. This is what we’re fighting for.
So the actress who was once willingly took part in a movie that invoked pedophilia and has openly stated that she wants Roman Polanski Pardoned is going to tell us all how to behave?!?!
When will we learn "Hollywood is NOT we're we get our values from, who cares about what the actresses or actors have to say, nonsense"
It’s sad because Hollywood was so good at one time now it’s unbearable just like every other form of entertainment
if no one cares what celebs have to say, why are they interviewed by mass media so often?
Natalie. Blame your parents for pimping you out in The Professional and traumatizing you , not men.
ultraofrahfan1 . Her greedy parents wanted to make money off her
Blame her parents for some random perv writing a rape fantasy? Idiotic. Why blame the parents when there is a perfectly good pervert to blame?
ultraofrahfan1 OMG! A girl got a dirty letter! 1st worlds do not have women's rights issues. She needs to go to like syria and similar places where women actually have no rights. Not hollywood.
Grinder1999X Please never reproduce. And if you do, I pray you will never have a girl. She will live a sad life.
chulia k. I have a daughter whose mother has almost had her taken away twice by dhs. To a foster home for throwing temper tantrums when she doesn't get her way. I get pulled into court because she's unfit. So yeah go back to complaining about your petty nonsense or get a Starbucks. Go watch kardashians..
episode 1 sucked
Who is that Asian lady behind Natalie? She’s cuuuute
Disgusting. These people have accomplished nothing positive in the past year. These people are TOXIC.
Yep, the Trump administration IS TOXIC and has to go. You nailed it. LOL
RhondaH hahaha yeah the good economy is toxic right? The more jobs?
You are talking about Trump and his henchmen right?
Blah, blah, blah, blah.. awww .
Blah, blah.. 🙄
Lol, so funny to see these RUSSIANS speaking out... we should get them some vodka.
i always liked you, but im really disappointed natalie. to lead the anger in the direction of a whole group of people will change nothing. this kind of anger never helps...
why not fight for appropriate behavior for all human beings instead of just for women?
that's just as sexist as the other shit for me...
men have enough problems today and even famous male stars get mails or fanfictions with "rape fantasys" from women or other stuff... some sick female teachers do stuff to their students as you can hear in the news and much more...
so what is this all?
She's just a Hollywood puppet being paid to propandise weak minded women who are being used as nothing more than a tool of division. BTW I am a female and I don't agree with these marches at all because I have nothing to be outraged about when it comes to equal rights.
Oh dear. If you can’t see how much inequality is demonstrated throughout the culture, regardless of which laws have been passed, then you are blind to the reality of life for many, many women. The examples you cite of abuse directed towards men do happen, but are a drop in the ocean compared with what women have undergone for centuries. There is no equivalence here.
The problem is that this is all going to end very badly for women.
They have removed the power from men, and now we have no power to help women, no incentive to help women (because apparently now we are competing with them), and there are not enough women who want to inspire us be good men, and reward us for becoming good men.
So a lot of these women have called for a world without men. What they will end up with is a world without any good men. And if you are a woman and that doesn't scare you, then you are very stupid.
I use to respect here, but in the end she's just a basic bitch. Look at the people worshiping her in these comments. Nothing we haven't heard before. "Oh I'm a privilege women who bothered by words, respect meeeee!!!!!"
Thank you for mansplaining this from the privileged white male perspective. Saying "for all humans" ignoring the different experiences people go through who aren't as privileged as you. When was the last time some guy grabbed your ass or made a stupid comment just because you're male? Exactly, bye bye.
Who is Natalie portman?
Forget about African American Males. Women and minorities Rock!
