What do you think of Natalie Portman’s speech at Variety's Power of Women event?

Question

Last week Natalie Portman gave a speech at the Variety's Power of Women event.

Natalie Portman has some choice words for men who have a habit of calling women “crazy” or “difficult.”
Stop the rhetoric that a woman is crazy or difficult,” said Portman. “If a man says to you that a woman is crazy or difficult, ask him, ‘What bad thing did you do to her?’”
What do you think, what is your opinion about it?

The problem with that comment, is that it's entirely one-sided.

Turn it around, and it becomes "If a man is an asshole, ask yourself what you did to him.". The logical conclusion to that becomes, if a man beats his wife, then she must have deserved it.

Now, obviously, that's a load of bull. I'm just using it as a counter-argument. Change the genders, and it sounds completely unreasonable. Everyone is responsible for their own actions, period. If you're crazy, abusive, violent, etc, then that's your fault, and nobody else's.

Some people suck, but nobody can make you act a certain way. Only you can control the way you act, and what you say, so that's your responsibility. If a woman is crazy, then she's crazy. If a man is crazy, then he's crazy.

Blaming it on someone else is childish, and that's exactly what her quote is advocating doing; saying it's someone else's fault.

Pretty lady but. . . I was married to a woman who had a similar philosophy. Everything that I did that met her disapproval was my fault. Everything that she did that met my disapproval was something that she did as a response to some bad behavior on my part, so her actions were my fault, too.

Essentially, everything was my fault. It is impossible to have a successful relationship when one partner takes no responsibility for their behavior. This is an example of "feminist" thinking taken to an extreme.

So I'm guessing that if a woman straight up abuses her husband and/or child, is an alcoholic, or is neglectful, and when the guy tries to talk about just how abusive she is, throwing in the "She's crazy man...", we should just dismiss his opinion because it was obviously his fault. Way to blame the victim here. I am so sick of hearing misandristic attitude, thinking that all women should be absolved of sin and that males are all satan. Just think about what would happen if the genders were swapped, the guy would get in jail instantly, but now that its a woman she's innocent. Of course everything should be judged on a case by case basis, but Natalie is obviously trying to generalize all of these cases into one.

Clo917 · Accepted Answer

Uh, no. Not all, but some women are just bat-shit crazy or have difficult personalities. Nobody is perfect in this world, so I think it's silly to assume every woman is a perfect angel.

CoffeeWC · Answer

Depends on what you consider as crazy

Staiby · Answer

She is generalizing but I know what she means. My friend dated this guy and he said that all his exes were crazy and then she realized that he was a manipulative, egotistical toxic piece of garbage who is now off telling his new girlfriend that his previous girlfriend was crazy.

My ex was garbage too, here's a close to word for word conversation.
ME : "We need to talk."
HIM: "yeah what"
"I take issue with how you spoke to me in front of my mum"
"HA like I care about what your mother thinks*continues playing xbox*"
"... SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!"
" 0.0 *baffled and confused look* (seemed to be thinking: woahhhh woahhhh woahhh what? what the hell just happened? that reaction came out of nowhere)"

However,
The guy I'm seeing now, who has never done anything for me to react like that ^^ described his ex as having serious issues. It was his birthday and he wanted to go down the road to visit his mum, dad and sister and she said "I FUCKEN HATE THOSE CUNTS. YOUR SISTER IS CUNT NUMBER 1, YOUR MUM IS CUNT NUMBER 2 AND YOUR DAD IS CUNT NUMBER 3. IF YOU GO AND SEE THEM THEN YOU ARE CHOOSING THEM OVER ME". he left and returned home to confront her on what she said and she just said "yeah I know, let me make it up to you" and tried to perform oral on him which was the last thing he wanted. They broke up and she went to his work place to hit on his boss in front of him, as a result he went to sort out a restraining order on her just to find out she had already sorted out one against him for allegedly beating and raping her. He passed on to her a verbal list via her friend of all the things she can be charged with for taking him to court over a false allegation (wasting the courts resources, defamation of character, emotional damage etc) and then in court she sure was quick to settle it with no further legal pursuit of him.
I'm a big supporter of the meetoo movement but surely, if he actually did it, the same thing would have happened to me by now (and hasn't). these things are a pattern of behavior

If people wanna be upset with how non-gender neutral and general it is, I get it. Some people just have serious issues but for those who are reasonable, they do not deserve to be written off as difficult or crazy if they express on opinion or react to something shitty you did.

I believe this is something that happens to mostly women or at least we are just known for being/typically expected to be on the receiving end of this dismissive attitude Portman is talking about

hellionthesagereborn · Answer

Now apply that to every woman who claims men are assholes. Natalie Portman is a sexist hypocrite so her words are rather hollow. Men call women crazy because women tend to function emotionally rather then logically (its just what it is) and it confuses them as they generally (but obviously not always) don't. But again, if she is so up in arms about this, whats her stance on how men are constantly portrayed as monsters and bad people? I mean a guy joking that women are crazy because he can't understand how she operates is rather tame in comparison to say, acting as if domestic violence is exclusively perpetrated by men when it in fact is more likely to be commited by women. Its pretty tame in comparison when you have women screaming how ALL men are sexist misogynists, rapists and assholes to the point where grade school boys in places are being taught how to "not be rapists". So just curios where the line is drawn with her, because I've never seen her address the other side, the side she is standing on. So yeah, I'll take her words seriously when we stop living in a society that cannot stop bashing and belittling and emasculating boys and men at every god damn turn.

ChurchOfIron · Answer

Sounds like my mother. "If a woman stabs her husband 50 times in the chest, it's because the husband did something to make her do it" Direct quote.

That kind of thinking is actually really undermining to women, because it presumes that women have no real decision making capability on their own. This is a very common perception in society.

Society views women as "objects"--but not in a dehumanizing sense. And society views men as "agents". Objects are acted upon--they do not act. Agents act; they are not acted upon. That's basically the statement that Natalie Portman is making, it seems to me. If she was making a joke, okay, meh. But if it was serious, I think that is a very insulting thing to say about women.

Another thing is women as a whole do tend to have a lot of cognitive dissonance and really are just confusing, do they not? Dichotomous, maintaining two different beliefs or thoughts at the same time. It's *very* common. That's just female nature, in my opinion. A lot of women *are* crazy and difficult.

But, let's say that's not the case. Presuming that a woman is instantly free of all responsibility for her actions, and that the only way she can commit an action is if a man influences her to do so: this is quite insulting to women, would you not agree? I don't think Natalie Portman realizes exactly what her statement implies.

She's trying to say "women are perfect, so long as men don't fuck it up." But at the same time, she's also saying that women have no free will.

GoodManDave · Answer

Depends on what crazy is. And what it does. And what caused it.

I'm slow to just categorize a woman as crazy - even exes, as much as they did some nutty crap, or as much as they did some mean spirited, nasty, stuff, I've never been like "she was a crazy psycho b*tch." I just... don't bother with them.

Both we broke up because of issues they had, partly from other stupid morons ruining what they could have been (cheating multiple times, etc)... nothing they deserved... but I was the guy to get revenge on, or I was the guy they thought was going to do that (so preemptively sabotage a good thing). Nothing was related to anything I did to them.

To me, It's kind of like "blaming a victim" of abuse. Imagine that it was a story of an abusive guy beating on his girl (because it's never possible for a man to be abused, right?) and someone could say "What did YOU do to make him beat you to a pulp? You must have done SOMETHING..." Come on. Some people are just unbalanced. Some snap. Doesn't automatically make it your fault. Sometimes yes. But not always.

Anonymous · Answer

Feminists always paint women as victims. They view everything through this lens of men = bad, women = good.

This is why if a woman is being accused of being crazy, someone like Natalie would ask what the guy has done to make her act crazy. She can't possibly just be a crazy bitch.

One example: a friend of mine had a girlfriend who constantly accused him of cheating, despite him having done nothing wrong. Every time I saw him he had a new phone because she smashed his last one. One day he was gone too long according to her when he went to the shop, so she gave him a black eye.

Another example: a friend of mine has a girlfriend who, while I was there, had a meltdown, started shouting and throwing things all over the place because he left some change on the worktop. When it was his Mum's birthday and they had a family gathering - again, I was there at the same bar - she started to argue with him because she didn't want him to go. Unless he was at work she would always have a tantrum if he went out of the house, even just to see friends or again even just his Mother. In these tantrums she'd get violent and throw things at him. One time she had a meltdown, smashed everything in the place, wrote "GAY" on the walls and accused him of having an affair with another man.

Men can be insecure, crazy and abusive, everybody knows this, but so can women. The women I just described were obviously crazy, and their outbursts were completely unprovoked.

But when you look at these things through a men = bad women = good lens, if a man does it to a woman it's because he's an abusive asshole, but if she does it to him he MUST have done something to provoke it. Women are always the victim to these people, no matter what.

This is the dumb shit that turns people away from feminism.

WhitePanther88 · Answer

Sounds sexist and bitter. Reverse it around.
Stop the rhetoric that a MAN is crazy or difficult,”. “If a WOMAN says to you that a MAN is crazy or difficult, ask HER, ‘What bad thing did you do to HIM?’”
Anyway are you going to listen to a woman who supports a man who drugged, plied with drink, raped and sodomized a young girl. Now that's she's past her best Hollywood years she's getting more vocal on politics but honestly people are tired of liberal Hollywood hypocrites.

LMNOP123 · Answer

Eh, partially agree. Yeah women tend to overreact to anything a dude does and pinning it all on the dude isn't fair.
Also, yeah not all women are crazy irrational. I'm the most mellowest thing ever. I ain't going to fly off the handle about any big or little thing. I guess because it's mainly that I don't care what bad things others do? It's not a reflection on me, it's completely on them. I've had a boyfriend cheat on me and I was just like, whatever, good, the trash took itself out.
Yeah I was a bit sad but I wasn't going to mope around about it. Apparently he was trash and bothering myself with him at all was a waste of my time.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

I love how people with collectivist ideologies all want to agree with each other... but sweeping generalizations from the actions of a few men being held as true... would then mean the sweeping generalizations that all women are difficult or crazy based on the actions of a few women is true based on that reasoning.

No... I'm an individualist. You may be a female, but I'm only going to call you difficult or crazy if you are acting like it... as an individual, only your individual actions matter.

Collectivists have a very 'us and them' mentality... it's why the definition of an NPC fits them quite literally.

ragequeen · Answer

I am not going to lie I have heard that statement very few times I can barely count how many. But I know every time that has been said the woman has been an actual psychopath and the guy had a right to call her crazy. It is not a man`s fault a woman becomes crazy. Usually when a woman is considered "crazy", she has serious possessive traits. "Ask a guy what bad thing he did to her"... What if he just talked to another girl and she became jealous as hell? Sorry. I like Natalie, she is educated and well-informed, but she is a modern feminist, and I can`t take them seriously anymore.

Bananaman177 · Answer

I think she gargles Weinstein cum. But she's too chickenshit to stand up to those guys, so instead she attacks men in general, which is just fucking typical if you ask me.

ravedave · Answer

I can agree with her if she would've worded it a bit better. The root of the issue lies with WHY someone is calling a woman that, and if there exists a double standard that changes based on gender.

The way she worded it makes it sound like a board, general statement that applies to anyone who calls a woman crazy.

There exists crazy/difficult women, just as there exists crazy/difficult men. They should be categorized for the same behavior, and if you're being harsher on a woman for the same behavior that would make you praise a man, you need to get that shit in check.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Well since the majority of people have a mental health problem at some point in there life and may have one now and it been hard to see.

That means that women was probably difficult or crazy.
But i do agree if your that sort of guy to go around saying that girl is crazy and been insenstive then he probably did something wrong.

Plus two sides to every story so instead of assuming that he did something wrong why not get both sides, before you judge cause if you here one thing and then just think one thing like he did something wrong.
Then your probably not smart and aren't capable with logic.

That's what i say to this women. And tbh who ever agrees with this women is short sighted since everything depends on the type of person and both sides of the story.

ashleyb93 · Answer

I half agree and half disagree. So many times men like to silence us and brush us off with comments like we're crazy or hysterical just for explaining our side or getting upset. On the other hand I know tons of women who are in fact fucking insane.

bloodmountain1990 · Answer

It goes both ways, there's crazy people of both genders. To say women can't be crazy would just be as absurd as saying men can't be crazy.

I dated a narcissist/sociopath who gaslighted me into thinking i was guilty for her fucked up behavior. That being said, it's a case by case scenario and abuse is abuse, regardless of gender.

MayBlythe · Answer

That's a load of horse-shit.
Everyone is crazy and difficult to a point, and if someone doesn't understand your mindset, they're gonna call you crazy or difficult.
It doesn't just apply to women, and accusing a man of abuse for saying that is just straight up slander

demonics · Answer

Women have no agency and cannot be held responsible for her own actions EVERYTHING she does, is as a result of a man.
*two hours later*

"We don't need men."

Is what that bullshit means.

A man who blames women for everything is called an incel, or a misogynist. Men, YOU are responsible for everything that goes wrong in your life. When something goes right, its because A. Male privilege or B. there was a woman somewhere that made that happen. "behind every great man *snark snark snark* Women, a MAN is responsible for everything that goes wrong in your life. When something goes right, YOU did that girl! Slaaaaaaaayyyyy! Genuine propaganda.

skytatoe · Answer

I think you should just see it case by case.
Some guys call all their exes crazy or bitches or difficult etc... and then if its a habitual thing and it happens all the time, either the guy just falls for the wrong women all the time or he's the problem. Either way, something wrong with the guy.

And some women are actually batshit crazy, and some women are difficult. I've been with one in my entire dating life. I have never called an ex crazy or difficult except for the one who actually was lol. It happens.

Anonymous · Answer

Sounds like an excuse for women to get away with shitty behavior. Calling a woman out for acting shitty does not mean the guy did anything bad to her. This is just more putting all responsibility in the entire universe on men and giving women a free pass to say and do anything they want without any reprecussions.

I'm all for the metoo movement but natalie portman is a massive grand standing individual. She's a straight white person that really hasn't faced half the struggles of the people she claims to represent.

stellaann · Answer

After 1.5 year relationship with my boyfriend, he changed suddenly and stopped contacting me regularly, he would come up with excuses of not seeing me all the time. He stopped answering my calls and my sms and he stopped seeing me regularly. I then started catching him with different girls several times but every time he would say that he love me and that he needed some time to think about our relationship. But cannot stop thinking about him so i decided to go online and i saw so many good talk about this spell caster and i contact him and explain my problems to him. He cast a love spell for me which i use and after 2 day, my boyfriend came back to me and started contacting me regularly and we moved in together after a few months and he was more open to me than before and he started spending more time with me than his friends. We eventually got married and we now have been married happily for 3 years with a son. Ever since Dr. enato of ugbefelovespell@gmail. com

Cammy137 · Answer

Women can be crazy and men can be crazy. I think it's stupid to imply that you can't use a word to describe a group of people. It's like when we were supposed to stop calling women bossy. Some women are bossy, that's a fact. In the same way some women are crazy but so are some men. I find it a little shady that she's implying that the only reason a women would seem crazy is because of something a man did to her.

CountessSarah · Answer

Another celebrity who should just keep their mouth shut. This line basically implies that women can do no wrong, and that any given woman's negative behaviour is the responsibility of some guy. It's basically another feminist point that frames women as stupid, helpless children.

Men and Women dont understand each other at all, (general speaking), this is why there are websites like this one :D

She is just wrong and doesn't realize that we can't understand each other and wants to make it an easy solution to blame one of us. inter- Gender -Communication is just difficult from early age on most of us tend to talk only to our own gender more than to the other one. We work like this as a species.

BaileyisDarcy · Answer

I get what she's saying and I do kind of agree with her. It is usually the people who will never accept fault who will find fault in everyone else, especially when they caused it.

Rexnine9 · Answer

I'm not sure enough about the context or behind her thoughts/statements.

Unfortunately ,. I have had more than a couple experienced with different women in work settings where I couldn't resolve differences because the women made my position mute and adamant stance was a case of schovanism, of masogyni ; then refused to argue the case on it's merrits.
I think that's an 'easy out' . And pretty sexist on the woman's part. And can be "Pretty Crazy"

jennifer_bloom · Answer

Context of course varies but I decide to cut her some slack - cause when you've had a career lasting that long - of course - you might at some point - say something that seems out of line. If I were to record every word you ever say - I would definitely find something embarrassing or wrong too - Natalie Portman is busy - doesn't have too much time to plan her speeches..

Anonymous · Answer

Natalie Portman is a typical feminist in that she won't even entertain the idea that some women are simply crazy and difficult (as are some men), and instead she tries to blame it all on men.

That's what feminists do; they blame men for everything and try to remove all responsibility from women.

She IS crazy and difficult.

PS - any man who said what she did, but with the gender roles reversed, would be labeled as "sexist" and crucified. Typical feminist hypocrisy.

Miristheiss · Answer

I reject the entire thing. A "Power of Women event"? Really? I think all of these, agendas of breaking people up into their specific little ethnic and gender labels to promote all things black or white or woman are just ignorant.

Her statement? I don't even know what she's babbling about. I haven't been to any "pro man" rallies, I don't care for "pro black" rallies, I sure as hell don't give a crap about "pro women" rallies.

Divisive, dumb events.

AlphaGhost · Answer

If a woman rapes a man then proceeds to murder him, then the cops are supposed to ask her "What bad thing did you do to her?" and just let her go.
really I think if it continue to go down that road the next feminist rally will ask for totally immunity for woman against any charges, even She kills 20 in return and I am really sorry to mention.
When the man will have enough and they will try to retake everything violently, then who is gona save weak gender from anything.

BeMuse · Answer

She's ignorant. Women are something like 40% more likely to develop mental illness in modern society. They have much high rates of being diagnosed with mental illnesses and there are a lot of medicated girls out there (something like 1 in 3). Some women exhibit crazy unwarrented behavior and sometimes you need to let them know what they are doing is abnormal so that they can reflect on how they are behaving.

IntellectualDevil · Answer

I happen to disagree. Women can psych men out, and men can psych women out. Disagreements and arguments can occur, but I think the real key to relationships is to have those disagreements and to find a way to move beyond them. No reason to break up the magic of our love because of a disagreement (unless it's really non-repairable in which case it's better to break up.)

MrMysteryMan · Answer

I find a lot of the women that seem crazy are just reacting to bad experiences from the past and expecting the same outcomes from others. Not necessarily guys, but just relationships they've dealt with. The same can be said about how guys sometimes don't show emotion or as much care with women at certain times. Since perhaps those guys have had issues when sharing emotions or have been hurt in some way emotionally, and just are very protective of that happening again.

Trippintfout · Answer

I think men call women crazy or emotional, and women say men “mansplain”- both are unfair characterizations. Men shouldn’t say that to women, and women shouldn’t say that to men. If a guy mansplains to you, what did you do to cause it as a woman? If women don’t want to accept responsibility for causing it, men shouldn’t either. So Natalie, unless you’re willing to take responsibility, you’re just being hypocritical...

Guanfei · Answer

Because it's always the man's fault, even when it's not.
Woman goes crazy? Man's fault.
She cheats? Man's fault.
She can't succeed? That's right, man.

That's exactly why feminism failed so hard. No matter what the problem is, it's always because of men. Never look anywhere else for the reason, the reason is always men.

I think there's some validity to it, you shouldn't just assume that every woman is emotional, irrational, crazy or impossible to deal with. But that doesn't mean that women like that don't exist.

I think it's just ridiculous that she would want to turn that against the man, as if it must be automatically the man's fault if a woman acts crazy or difficult. I think it's completely counter productive to her point.

I know not all women are crazy, but have you ever worked in a department or profession where it’s dominated by women. Not that it bothers me in a field dominated by women, but damn a lot of them have serious issues. A lot of them can’t even get along w each other.

Anonymous · Answer

Not all women are that way obviously but they definitely do some of the craziest shit for reasons unknown to the male gender. I have a friend who was a happy college student and his girlfriend suddenly falsely accused him of rape. He was almost immediately proven innocent but he was kicked out of his university and now works as a barista, depressed and never wants another relationship again. He even got out of an abusive relationship where his ex saw him as a punching bag and even slaps him in public. I’ve known this man for 5 years and know that he would never lay a finger on anyone. If that doesn’t prove that women are crazy too and know their full extent of their power over men, I don’t know what does.

Anytime I hear something like this, I reverse the genders and see if I have any different reaction. In this case, flip the genders and change the words crazy or difficult to dick or asshole.

She's saying that like women are perfect, nobody is perfect, sometimes women do act crazily, for e. g, they act very jealous, which can be very cute sometimes, but dont get me wrong, being jealous all the time can ruin your relationship, because then it creates dounts, and doubts have ruined more relationships than proof ever has, if everyone in their relationship accepts their mistakes then there would be no problems between men and women

Bullshit. This presumes that all women are 100% angelic and virtuous. THEY ARE NOT! It is every bit as sexist to presume that women are always virtuous as it is to presume they are never virtuous. Some women are wronged, others are just evil bitches.

Anonymous · Answer

I can't just blindly agree with that. Some women are crazy just as some men are crazy and there is nothing anyone had to do with that or they are dealing with some past that has got them where they are now but that has nothing to do with the current men in their lives. I think that phrase could be fine tuned to say men who ALWAYS say that most or all women are crazy/diffiult, probably have an issue with women in general.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

She may be right from her perspective. That may be her personal truth. Maybe some male creature was horrible to her. I will not discount that as a possibility.

However, in many cases, women are actually immature with bad attitudes and don't know how to control their emotions nor do they know how to act civilized or play well with others. This comes from being spoiled and treated like a "princess" from an early age.
