Women are being hunted, says Sandra
Los Angeles, July 3
Actress Sandra Bullock believes women are being "hunted" by the media, something which she says "scares (and) embarrasses" her.
"I
feel like it's become open hunting season in how women are attacked and
it's not because of who we are as people, it's because of how we look
or our age. I'm shocked, and maybe I was just naïve, but I'm embarrassed
by it.
"My son (Louis) is getting ready to grow up in this world
and I'm trying to raise a good man who values and appreciates women,
and here we have this attack on women in the media that I don't see a
stop happening," Bullock told eonline.com.
The 50-year-old actress has praised the "tribe" of women in Hollywood who have formed a firm unit against their critics.
She
added: "You'd be surprised at the love that you have in our crazy
industry. The women have bonded together and have sort of become this
tribe of trying to take care of each other and be there for each other
in a way, because the minute you step out it's an onslaught.
"We
need to stop. We are harming girls and women in a way, at a speed that
it's scaring me. It's really scaring me, so I would love for someone to
help put a stop to this."
