Powerful Ways Celebrities Called Out Sexism In 2018

In an appearance on Shepard’s podcast, “Armchair Expert,” Schumer explained the constant threat of danger that women face. When Shepard compared the uncomfortable experience of a woman hitting on him to what ladies must feel at bars, Schumer had some thoughts. 

“Forget about being uncomfortable, women are mostly scared of violence,” she said. “One in 6 women reports being sexually assaulted, but really it’s 1 in 3 women. So we’re not even like, is this gonna happen? We’re like, when?” she went on. “We live in constant fear of violence. Just the feeling that we have all day, walking past a guy sitting alone on a bench. You’re just bracing ourselves. And I think that’s something men don’t really understand.”
