Cate Blanchett's Message to Pervs in Power: "It Doesn’t Mean We Want to F*** You"

Cate Blanchett's Message to Pervs in Power: "It Doesn’t Mean We Want to F*** You"

There's a reason why people love Cate Blanchett.

Cate Blanchett attended the InStyle Awards 2017 this week and gave a speech fit for a queen upon winning the Style Icon Award.

In light of more than 40 allegations of sexual assault and harassment against former Hollywood big boss, Harvey Weinstein, Blanchett gave the analogy of the century.

"Women like looking sexy, but it doesn’t mean we want to f*** you," Blanchett started. "No one says to Steve Bannon, 'You look like a bag of trash. Do you want me to throw you out?'"

She went on to explain that women receive a lot of online abuse due to their red carpet choices.

"But the comments that get said about what women wear on the red carpet—I mean. If you troll through those trolls on the Internet, just don't," Blanchett explained. "For me, the true icons of style, it's always those women who have been utterly themselves without apology."

Game. Set. Match.
