Claire Foy Reveals Why She Believes Some Men Are Angry at Women

Claire Foy is on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter‘s new issue.

Here’s what the The Girl in the Spider’s Web actress had to share with the mag…

On why men are angry at women: “They feel vulnerable because women are becoming more powerful, so they want to put us in our place to let us know we’re weak and we’re feeble and we’re emotional. Why do we need to be controlled? Why are we so dangerous? We are really powerful. We can bring people into the world. We have the capacity to hold children in our bodies. They can’t do that. I admire men and think they are amazing. So why does it have to be a competition?”

On what motivates her Lisbeth Salander: “Her objective is to make men pay. Lisbeth puts them in a position where they know what it’s like to be vulnerable. She does it by questionable means a lot of the time, but her morals are so clear: If someone does something to another person that’s wrong, they should come to justice. What’s wrong with being an angry person if it’s anger toward something we are terrified about?”

On running into a man with a #MeTooFraud sign during the Kavanaugh hearings: “How dare you write #MeTooFraud on a placard? It just breaks my heart, how other human beings just care so little about people. That person must not have any idea of what those women have been through. I have a real problem with people not understanding the effect that they have on other people.”
