Is it fair to treat a woman worse than a man, and then revile her because she is a woman?

A bad man is the sort who weeps every time he speaks of a good woman.

Playing a bad guy is always a freeing experience, because you don't have the same envelope of restrictions as you have playing a good guy. Good guys restrain themselves; they kind of have their moral fiber cut out for them in varying degrees.

It's easy to play a bad girl: You just do everything you've been told not to do, and you don't have to deal with the consequences, because it's only acting.

We live in a patriarchal culture. It's okay for women to be objectified but not for men.

Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men.

Masculinity is a terrible problem, as we construe it and shape it.

When a woman is very, very bad, she is awful, but when a man is correspondingly good, he is weird.

I love playing women, and I think that this is a throughline to a lot of the characters I've played - they all have this aspect of being wronged. And I think, a lot of the time, the characters are actually wronged by themselves, and they find someone else to blame it on.
