Revolutionary Talk

Behold a daughter of the revolution:

In a Wednesday episode of Call Her Daddy, Theron spent the first 20 minutes explaining to host Alex Cooper how her father’s alcoholism and its effect on her parents’ marriage damaged her capacity for healthy relationships. Later in the interview, she talks about being sexually harassed by a director at what she thought would be an audition when she was starting out in Hollywood. Unsurprisingly, her philosophy of sex and relationships is screwed up, to put it mildly. It’s clear from her conversation with Cooper that she’s grasped onto the lies of the sexual revolution as a lifeline, buying into the idea that marriage is an oppressive trap for women and that true liberation means having meaningless sex with a lot of different men and no strings attached. It’s equally clear that mentality has failed her completely, and left her, as she admits to Cooper, afraid of the empty house she’ll be left with once her children move out. “I think I want long-term commitment. I just don’t need to get married,” says Theron, blaming her “tremendous fear of not being able to get out of something.” But now, it seems, she’s given up on even long-term situationships. “It’s not because I’m not, I don’t want to be in relationships,” she says. “But I’m seeing things for what they are, right?”

Or maybe not...
