America Ferrera plays a single mother in Greta Gerwig's movie, "Barbie." But she has made a strong speech in support of all women who, according to her, are forced to live a contradictory life.
"It's impossible to be a woman," says the actress, and for that she doesn't even spare the Barbie doll.
"It is impossible to be a woman. You're so beautiful and so smart, it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. We should always be awesome, but somehow we always get it wrong. We should be elegant, but not too flimsy. You can never say you want to be skinny. You have to say that you want to be healthy, but at the same time you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because it's rude. You have to be bossy, but you can't be mean. You have to lead, but you can't suppress other people's ideas. 'I love that you're a mother, but don't talk about the kids all the time.' You have to be a career woman, but also always worry about others. You have to take responsibility for men's bad behavior, which is absurd. but if you point it out you are accused of complaining in vain. You must remain beautiful to men, but not so beautiful as to tempt them, or to offend other women. Never get old, never be rude, never be selfish, never fall, never fail, never get scared, never step out of line... This is so hard! It is also quite contradictory and no one gives you a medal or thanks you. I'm tired of seeing myself and every other woman destroyed so that people will like her. And if all this applies to a doll that represents women, then I don't even know what to say." don't fail, don't panic, never step out of line... This is very hard! It is also quite contradictory and no one gives you a medal or thanks you. I'm tired of seeing myself and every other woman destroyed so that people will like her. And if all this applies to a doll that represents women, then I don't even know what to say." don't fail, don't panic, never step out of line... This is very hard! It is also quite contradictory and no one gives you a medal or thanks you. I'm tired of seeing myself and every other woman destroyed so that people will like her. And if all this applies to a doll that represents women, then I don't even know what to say."
