Emilia Clarke doesn’t believe in weak women.
The English actress is best known for playing Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, whose purpose throughout 7 seasons has been sailing across the Narrow Sea, freeing slaves, and trying to reclaim her kingdom.
Sounds pretty bad-ass, right?
But, the 31-year-old does not want herself or any other female leads to be described as “strong”.
Describing the habit by journalists as “sexist”, Emilia stated at the Cannes Film Festival: “If it’s not strong, what is it? Are you telling me there’s another option, that there’s a weak option? You think a lead in a movie is going to be a weak woman? It just doesn’t even bear having the conversation, so enough already with the strong women, please.”
Yes, ma’am.
