Margot Robbie Talks Sexism In Hollywood: 'It’s Naturally Ingrained In People'

Good for you, girl! It's refreshing to see someone finally talking about sexism in Hollywood. We've all known that it's been there for a while, and yet no one has had the courage to stand up.

To talk about it in an interview. To be public with their opinions.

Good for you, Margot!

So Margot Robbie was out talking about sexism in Hollwood the other day.

She was doing an interview with Glamour UK about her new movie Birds Of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) and of course the issue of sexism in Hollywood came up.

This is what she had to say:

“It’s naturally ingrained in people"

IMDb

"Even if you are the one who should be dictating the decisions — that they turn to the closest, eldest male in the room and direct the question at them. It’s just an inherent thing everyone has got in their DNA.”

She went on about how people ask her questions:

IMDb

“When people are asking the question and I have the answer and they so readily will turn to my producing partners who are guys and will ask them. It’s a finance thing so I will ask the guy. And they are like, ‘Actually, she is the one with the answer, you should ask her!"

“It’s the societal construct we have grown up knowing."

IMDb

"I think the interesting thing now is that everyone is so conscious of that and they often catch themselves. I think people really want to embrace the idea of equality. I think they are a little shocked they hadn’t before and they didn’t have that mindset and they weren’t conscious of it.”

Thank goodness she keeps calling it out!
