Daisy Ridley covers Tatler.

She reveals that she's been told that she is intimidating:

“That was on Chaos Walking. I was having my hair done, having my wig put on. I remember thinking, ‘God, should I be smaller? Should I be quieter?’”

Chaos Walking, a sci-fi fantasy adventure film directed by Doug Liman

This is what you get for expressing an opinion while being female. "Aggressive." "Intimidating." My personal favourite, "feisty"

[looneyboy83]

is feisty a negative descriptor?

[arellaj]

I find it really condescending and a bit infantilizing.

[looneyboy83]

hmmm i cant speak for females but as a male i would take it as a compliment.

[weighty_ghost]

"females" is also a shit word

[looneyboy83]

how is 'females' a shit word?

[weighty_ghost]

because we're human beings. only men who don't view us as such call us "females" like we're some lesser animal.

[looneyboy83]

what?

so if i use 'males' ...... i shouldnt use females?

[looneyboy83]

people downvoting - at least help me understand

[bellwetherr]

feisty is never used with men tho lol

[likeiused2]

but that right there is what makes it different, I think that's the whole point
it's ok for men to give off an air of intimidation
women must appear submissive or we're feisty bitches

[looneyboy83]

well that is bullshit

[likeiused2]

yeah, it is. but it is nonetheless the way it is. we live in a patriarchal society.

[winter_lace]

"females" is a red flag

[looneyboy83]

what should i say? women?

[winter_lace]

yes
