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
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.”
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?
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.
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.
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
~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 UA-cam vids during valentine's day, I'd say you can manage the effort.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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..
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
Some people never understand LOL She didn't say that she ALWAYS refused sexy roles but that during her youth (13-19) she refused those roles because she did not want to receive more pedophile letters and because she suffered a trauma... you can't judge how she felt. But when she became an adult she wanted to regain control of her body and her profession, it was her right as actress, and JUST ONCE she posed naked in a movie and immediately afterwards she said she regretted it and she was ashamed of it because other disgusting comments like these... she must have control over her body and her choices, not the others who have vilified her. AND AGAIN, THE WOMEN'S MARCH IS NOT AGAINST MEN BUT AGAINST EVERY TYPE OF ABUSE WHICH AFFECTS A MINORITY WITHOUT TOO MUCH AID. You're not the center of attention for just one day? Deal with it.
All these years later and this march will be remembered as one of the biggest wastes of time in American history. So much noise and commotion made, just to complain and do nothing about it. Much of the violation of women's rights happened after Trump's term as President ended. Everyone who attended this march effectively proved how useless they really are and how empty their actions happen to be. All the celebrities who attend just serve as worthless noisemakers. Regardless, Portman's experiences were horrible though, the ones responsible for putting her through such suffering should be held accountable.
Well, she is having a point but iI thunk she exagerates a little. Except for the perverted "fanmail", which was just sick and tasteless, her other stories are more or less just a set of inconveniences and bad travell-management. She was always good protected and never experienced real violence and abuse. Compared to a real victim, she had quite a save and secure life.
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!!!
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 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?!?!
1:12 "The current system inhibits women..." Wow, really? Is she talking about North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, or Cuba? 🤔😒 I'm done watching Portman's films. Her time is up!
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.
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.
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
Kim Mijin well said... what about women at the very margins who don’t have this platform or the Hollywood elite to back them up....western liberal feminism at its peak
Wolves and Sheeple how tf you know? Im from a muslim county that doesn't know where Israel is or its story. But sure everyone knows to hate Jews. But I live in a Jewish neighborhood now in US , and telling you They dont hate anyone, most of them so busy with their families, school, work and synagogues , they dont have the time nor the interest. :)) BUT I hate Arabs, for bringing their retarded religion to my country and ruining its potential to be at least average.
Speaking of Zionists I think the whole world is Zionist bc people keep telling jews to move to Palestine. Well it makes more sence because the jews were there for thousands of years before. It would be nice if it was less blud shedding. Anyway world has always been like this. But i'll still hate muslim arabs :)
funny how so many conservatives only care about brown people when it serves their argument, which in this case is a strawman. you can fight against the horrific treatment of women in nonwestern countries and against the shitty treatment of women in western countries simultaneously, wow what a concept. your argument is like saying 'lamenting about getting punched in the face mitigates the suffering of people who were murdered!!!1!1!!' lmaoooo
After reading through the comments below, let me just say that these brave women are speaking out with hopes that men in general will have a much more "heightened sense" of awareness of how critical women's rights, safety, and health are, not only to the specific strength of our nation, but also to the future of humanity in general. #ourviz #colourvizion
It wasn't a movie about a girl who befriends a hitman to avenge her family. It's about a 12 year old girl who falls in love with a mentally incapable man who feels responsible for her life after saving her, who happens to kill the people who killed her family. Her guardians should never have let her do the movie, and a movie with a 12 year old girl flirting with a grown man should never have been made in the first place. It's not her fault, but she can't blame the arsonist when he is given a lighter and a jerrycan full of fuel. The world is full of sick people, we don't lock our doors at nigh to keep the nice people out, we do it to keep the minority that might want to steal our belongings or do us harm.
I fully agree. I'm not even sure what they're fighting for. I'm a woman I don't feel oppressed. I have enough self respect and respect for my husband to I cover up the goods. Even so perves will be perves... I'm not so detached from reality to realize when I'm fueling the fire.
She said her guardians were there throughout the whole movie. She is lucky she has loving parents, or she would be on the list of bad kids of Hollywood who did drugs, or OD'd.
Of course women deserve to be treated as well as men, and should be able express themselves as they wish, without fear of assault and abuse. But make no mistake, our managers, overlords, and society in general treats us men like shit a lot of the time, too. And let’s not forget that many many men treat women way better than they do their fellow “bros” because believe it or not, most reasonable, healthy men actually like and respect women. But I’m happy for those men who should be punished to reap the whirlwind of their inappropriate and/or criminal behaviour.
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?
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!
Not sure whether to congratulate you for a well done reference or scream at you for Being disrespectful. I guess both. **overwhelming autistic screeching**
*Normally I'm not into "women's movement liberal groups" BUT NATALIE BLEW ME AWAY WITH "TRUTH", BEING THE SAME AGE AS NATALIE """"I AGREE 💯* How easy it is they get us to forget 😥 *Natalie we all were in that world, I guess I'm pissed That we LIVED THAT WAY!* I was a professional consultant with 2 Masters on my corporate job, when my boss told me, """I OWN YOU""" 😡 I reported him to HR, nothing was done!!!!! (THAT WAS 1999)
She talks about modesty and women being objectified but doesn't anyone remember the stripper role she played. Not only does she use her gender, she uses her body to gain emotionally and financially then shows up at these rallies in protest of Men being attracted to Women. #findacure
MyLegwan That is literally what she's doing in this video. And even if she wasn't, I would compare movies to real life because that's what movies are based on in someways.
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.
So you made a movie where your characters main appeal was being a sexually precocious 13 year old & then you look shocked that people saw you as sexually precocious. I mean to me that's like being a sports star & then being upset that people see you as being good at sports..... Or a scientist & then getting upset that people see you as smart.
" She was playing a CHARACTER" No, she was playing a role, just like a sports star is playing a role & that role was actor, where she put her self out there as a sexual commodity. After all they could have got a 72 year old octogenarian to play the character, but they didn't, they chose her to play the role because she had the sex appeal they wanted in the movie. Just like the Olympics gets athletes to compete & not people who aren't athletes because those athletes are playing a role.
Oh Jesus Christ, another entitled, privileged celebrity. You aren’t oppressed, you starred in movies like Black Swan, Thor, hell you even played Padmé in 3 Star Wars movies. Now tell me how you are actually oppressed? Really Natalie? There are women being killed and beaten in Middle East and you’re in the safest country in the world, complaining about not having rights. You’ve stepped to a new low Natalie. “You’ve fallen down a path I can’t follow”.
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 hear words but no logic or meaning..
why do you hate women

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.
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

only one of those films used a female director, who did she hire? herself. *think about it*

~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 UA-cam vids during valentine's day, I'd say you can manage the effort.
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.
It's important that we remember that Natalie Portman is one of the ones that signed the petition to free Roman Polanski.
Oh dont come with your facts when the really important things get discussed: the feelings of a feminist.
What's the point?
raxmaxify really ?

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
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?
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.
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 illustrates double standards for genders, in a crystal clear way. She rocks!
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!
God I haven't seen a comment section that bad since 2013...
What happened in 2013?
2013 !
What happened !? 🤔
THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW
2013????? AHHHH
You should watch Amber Heard's Access Hollywood video.
And the comment section is something else 😅
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
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
No wonder Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side…
You literally have a microphone and are saying whatever you want
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.
Rahim Raissnia underrated comment
and using it to demand people do shit for her.
"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.
Why are the interpreters taken out of frame? We see NO caption and NO interpreters!
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.
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.

Trump 2020
Trump 2020 KEEP AMERICA GREAT
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.
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
Michael Townsley your so dumb I feel bad for you
Kylo Rens grandma
Pintexx omg my Star Wars peeps !

but the idiot decides to worship his grandfather instead, the woman died giving birth to your mom bro!
she is so full of shit
Loooooooool the comments here just prove everything
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
So many women-hating comments. This is the reason we need march like this.
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
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
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!
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.
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.
It's 4 minutes long.
You're acting like you sat down to read the first chapter of War and Peace but couldn't stop until you flipped the final page.
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.
seems like Harvard is overated......
Just like Oxford ... as proven by Cathy "so you're saing" Newman.
@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.

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.
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 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!
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.

wtf is this like to dislike ratio
Was there lots of dislikes?
Wow. Eye opening testimony. Truth. Thank you
What a brave and insightful speech 👏
All thumbs up, Natalie Portman!
Speech of grandeur.

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
Some people never understand LOL She didn't say that she ALWAYS refused sexy roles but that during her youth (13-19) she refused those roles because she did not want to receive more pedophile letters and because she suffered a trauma... you can't judge how she felt. But when she became an adult she wanted to regain control of her body and her profession, it was her right as actress, and JUST ONCE she posed naked in a movie and immediately afterwards she said she regretted it and she was ashamed of it because other disgusting comments like these... she must have control over her body and her choices, not the others who have vilified her.
AND AGAIN, THE WOMEN'S MARCH IS NOT AGAINST MEN BUT AGAINST EVERY TYPE OF ABUSE WHICH AFFECTS A MINORITY WITHOUT TOO MUCH AID. You're not the center of attention for just one day? Deal with it.
All these years later and this march will be remembered as one of the biggest wastes of time in American history. So much noise and commotion made, just to complain and do nothing about it. Much of the violation of women's rights happened after Trump's term as President ended. Everyone who attended this march effectively proved how useless they really are and how empty their actions happen to be. All the celebrities who attend just serve as worthless noisemakers. Regardless, Portman's experiences were horrible though, the ones responsible for putting her through such suffering should be held accountable.
Well, she is having a point but iI thunk she exagerates a little. Except for the perverted "fanmail", which was just sick and tasteless, her other stories are more or less just a set of inconveniences and bad travell-management. She was always good protected and never experienced real violence and abuse. Compared to a real victim, she had quite a save and secure life.
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
No wonder young men don’t want to get married anymore
It’s just not worth it!!!
these ppl really are sick....
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 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?
1:12 "The current system inhibits women..."
Wow, really? Is she talking about North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, or Cuba? 🤔😒

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.
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.
Incredible speech. Thank you.
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

Wolves and Sheeple how tf you know? Im from a muslim county that doesn't know where Israel is or its story. But sure everyone knows to hate Jews. But I live in a Jewish neighborhood now in US , and telling you They dont hate anyone, most of them so busy with their families, school, work and synagogues , they dont have the time nor the interest. :)) BUT I hate Arabs, for bringing their retarded religion to my country and ruining its potential to be at least average.
Speaking of Zionists I think the whole world is Zionist bc people keep telling jews to move to Palestine. Well it makes more sence because the jews were there for thousands of years before. It would be nice if it was less blud shedding. Anyway world has always been like this. But i'll still hate muslim arabs :)
funny how so many conservatives only care about brown people when it serves their argument, which in this case is a strawman. you can fight against the horrific treatment of women in nonwestern countries and against the shitty treatment of women in western countries simultaneously, wow what a concept. your argument is like saying 'lamenting about getting punched in the face mitigates the suffering of people who were murdered!!!1!1!!' lmaoooo

People need to stop hating on this I swear this March was unity
No more Hollywood. No more Hollywood. ( this does make you FEEL good)
It wasn't a movie about a girl who befriends a hitman to avenge her family. It's about a 12 year old girl who falls in love with a mentally incapable man who feels responsible for her life after saving her, who happens to kill the people who killed her family. Her guardians should never have let her do the movie, and a movie with a 12 year old girl flirting with a grown man should never have been made in the first place. It's not her fault, but she can't blame the arsonist when he is given a lighter and a jerrycan full of fuel.
The world is full of sick people, we don't lock our doors at nigh to keep the nice people out, we do it to keep the minority that might want to steal our belongings or do us harm.
I totally agree with you. The world is indeed full of sick people.
what the fuck that movie was art you butthurt sjw don’t understand lmao
I fully agree. I'm not even sure what they're fighting for. I'm a woman I don't feel oppressed. I have enough self respect and respect for my husband to I cover up the goods. Even so perves will be perves... I'm not so detached from reality to realize when I'm fueling the fire.
She said her guardians were there throughout the whole movie. She is lucky she has loving parents, or she would be on the list of bad kids of Hollywood who did drugs, or OD'd.
Well, The Professional is a classic. There are some bizarre scenes for a child, but I think that's the entire dynamic of the movie.
Leon: the professional really did mess her head up.
Of course women deserve to be treated as well as men, and should be able express themselves as they wish, without fear of assault and abuse. But make no mistake, our managers, overlords, and society in general treats us men like shit a lot of the time, too. And let’s not forget that many many men treat women way better than they do their fellow “bros” because believe it or not, most reasonable, healthy men actually like and respect women. But I’m happy for those men who should be punished to reap the whirlwind of their inappropriate and/or criminal behaviour.
Why don't you go to Saudi Arabia and have your speech and rally there....
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?
Well there goes 4:04 of my life I'll never get back.
Then why'd you watch it?
No one cares
Well said
Thanks Natalie. We need you to speak up for rights of the disadvantaged especially, women.
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!

Natalie Portman speaks at cancer convention 2018
She talks about modesty and women being objectified but doesn't anyone remember the stripper role she played. Not only does she use her gender, she uses her body to gain emotionally and financially then shows up at these rallies in protest of Men being attracted to Women. #findacure
Do you really try to compare a movie to real life?
MyLegwan That is literally what she's doing in this video. And even if she wasn't, I would compare movies to real life because that's what movies are based on in someways.
is there something wrong with playing a stripper?
She was not "using" her body, she was playing a role.

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.

So you made a movie where your characters main appeal was being a sexually precocious 13 year old & then you look shocked that people saw you as sexually precocious. I mean to me that's like being a sports star & then being upset that people see you as being good at sports..... Or a scientist & then getting upset that people see you as smart.
" She was playing a CHARACTER"
No, she was playing a role, just like a sports star is playing a role & that role was actor, where she put her self out there as a sexual commodity.
After all they could have got a 72 year old octogenarian to play the character, but they didn't, they chose her to play the role because she had the sex appeal they wanted in the movie. Just like the Olympics gets athletes to compete & not people who aren't athletes because those athletes are playing a role.
Oh Jesus Christ, another entitled, privileged celebrity. You aren’t oppressed, you starred in movies like Black Swan, Thor, hell you even played Padmé in 3 Star Wars movies. Now tell me how you are actually oppressed? Really Natalie? There are women being killed and beaten in Middle East and you’re in the safest country in the world, complaining about not having rights. You’ve stepped to a new low Natalie. “You’ve fallen down a path I can’t follow”.
