The Female Body and Interviews - Part I

Here is a compilation video of female stars and what questions they're often asked. It's interesting to see the same remarks being made repeatedly, but it's far more entertaining to see how the stars lash back at the obvious sexist line of questioning they undergo in comparison to their male counterparts. This problem has been gaining attention and support from actresses in the last few years--leading to the "ask her more" movement (mostly on social media).

Scarlet Johansson is one celebrity in the above video that is shown constantly gets asked the same questions, most of which are mildly inappropriate. I have attached a clip of an interview she did with Extra to show just how awkward they can get. Also, Johansson and Ruffalo did flipped the script in an interview with Cosmopolitan. Ruffalo got the "feminine" questions and Scarlet got the more interesting (and relevant to the movie or the craft of acting) questions.
