00:00:01.000 Rihanna was asked by a reporter what she's looking for in a man to wear her new product.
00:00:05.000 The multi-talented star took issue with the very question itself,
00:00:09.000 responding confidently that she's not looking for a man, period.
00:00:30.000 The question was phrased bizarrely, making it unclear whether the journalist was asking Riri about her love life or her business venture.
00:00:37.000 Either way, the starlet was having none of it when she gave this sassy response.
00:00:41.000 Because I feel like I have so much more to do, I feel like...
00:00:47.000 I mean, Icon, that's such a big title, it's such a big thing to say or to even be said about myself.
00:00:57.000 So, now the pressure's on, I have to live up to that.
00:01:01.000 Number 10. Serena Williams
00:01:04.000 Do you think you could ever beat a guy just once?
00:01:07.000 Only guy sports are worth watching.
00:01:09.000 She has the most number of singles, doubles, and mixed doubles Grand Slam titles among active players combined,
00:01:16.000 and was ranked world number one eight times between 2002 and 2017.
00:01:21.000 It's Serena Williams again!
00:01:24.000 So, it's no exaggeration to call Serena Williams skillful, talented, and graceful when she's on the court.
00:01:30.000 But as the only tennis player, male or female, to win two of four Grand Slams seven times each,
00:01:36.000 as well as the only one, male or female, to earn ten Grand Slam singles in two different decades,
00:01:42.000 it's also clearly no exaggeration to call her one of the greatest athletes of all time, period.
00:01:47.000 So, when a reporter asked her what it's like to be, quote, one of the greatest female athletes of all time,
00:01:53.000 she quickly and admirably told the journalist what's what.
00:01:56.000 I would really like to thank Sports Illustrated for recognizing me, not just as sportswoman or sports of the year,
00:02:04.000 but just sportsperson of the year.
00:02:06.000 Number 9.
00:02:07.000 Let her compete with the men, then.
00:02:13.000 Yo, she got beat by, like, the 250th dude.
00:02:17.000 It just is what it is.
00:02:19.000 Look, I'm a female athlete, okay?
00:02:20.000 I played volleyball, I played basketball, I ran track in college.
00:02:23.000 I am an athlete.
00:02:24.000 And it's not fun.
00:02:25.000 I don't enjoy that, like, a mid-basketball guy that played, like, two years in high school could probably beat me,
00:02:31.000 even though I played in college, but it just is what it is.
00:02:34.000 Like, why are we trying to...
00:02:37.000 I mean, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna just play the video.
00:02:39.000 I'm Hardy.
00:02:40.000 You've done this before?
00:02:42.000 Many times.
00:02:43.000 When details about the Mad Max reboot first came to light,
00:02:46.000 a lot of conversation stemmed from the seemingly female-centric take on a formerly ultra-macho franchise.
00:02:53.000 This naturally generated a backlash online from people wanting to boycott the film
00:02:58.000 because of its alleged feminist undertones.
00:03:00.000 I just wanted to ask you, as you were reading the script, did you ever think,
00:03:04.000 why are all these women in here?
00:03:06.000 I thought this was supposed to be a man's movie.
00:03:08.000 During a press conference in Cannes that focused on Fury Road,
00:03:10.000 the film's male lead, Tom Hardy, was asked how he felt about all the women in the movie.
00:03:15.000 His response was simple but incredibly effective.
00:03:18.000 No.
00:03:19.000 Not for one minute.
00:03:22.000 I think that sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of
00:03:31.000 who do the things that no one can imagine.
00:03:35.000 After being honored with a Hollywood Film Award for her portrayal of Joan Clark in 2014's The Imitation Game,
00:03:41.000 Keira Knightley was answering the perfunctory backstage questions.
00:03:44.000 One reporter asked a question that has been posed to successful women for decades.
00:03:48.000 How she manages to balance her career and her personal life?
00:03:52.000 A question rarely, if ever, asked of male actors or politicians.
00:03:56.000 Are you going to ask for the men that time?
00:04:00.000 Knightley was not going to let it slide, though, and followed up with a question of her own.
00:04:04.000 Oh, boo-hoo. Boo-hoo. I got asked how I manage it all. Stop it. Stop it.
00:04:13.000 I'm just so tired of women playing the victim to everything. Oh, boo-hoo. I'm beautiful. Oh, boo-hoo.
00:04:21.000 I'm getting, I don't know what the hell she wants. I don't understand movies.
00:04:25.000 Like, I'm not a big movie person. But like, I'm winning this award. I'm doing good.
00:04:30.000 Making a ton of money. And now I'm going to cry because someone asked me how I balance my family.
00:04:36.000 Lookit, that's a valid question because most women want to have families.
00:04:40.000 I don't know if she's got one or what, but it must be hard to manage. Okay. I'm just gonna...
00:04:47.000 I'm Emily Jean Stone.
00:04:48.000 No, Emma. I love Emma Stone. Don't...
00:04:52.000 Don't be talking about any woke shit. Okay, I'm just waiting.
00:04:55.000 Russell Garfield.
00:04:56.000 And we are here at our Teen Vogue cover shoot.
00:04:59.000 While the mid-2010s saw Teen Vogue shifting towards more cutting-edge political coverage,
00:05:04.000 back in 2012, they hadn't exactly hit their stride in terms of their progressive slant.
00:05:10.000 After starring together in The Amazing Spider-Man, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield were interviewed for the magazine.
00:05:16.000 Emma was asked about her hair color at one point,
00:05:18.000 and in response began to question why she frequently experienced these sort of superficial questions.
00:05:23.000 When Andrew interjected...
00:05:24.000 Okay, I'll tell you why.
00:05:26.000 Because Emma Stone is one of the only celebrities that can pull off every hair color.
00:05:31.000 She's been blonde, she's been red, she's been black hair, brunette.
00:05:35.000 I have never seen a girl that pulls off different hair colors like Emma Stone.
00:05:40.000 So you should take that as a compliment.
00:05:42.000 Because I don't think I could pull off another hair color that well.
00:05:46.000 She said, quote,
00:05:47.000 You get asked interesting poignant questions because you are a boy, and shut the whole thing down.
00:05:52.000 So, because he worked with, I forget his name, Andrew Garfield or something like that?
00:05:56.000 Right, something like that.
00:05:57.000 Yeah, and how did y'all get along? Did you get along okay?
00:05:59.000 Yeah, he's alright.
00:06:00.000 Yeah, he's alright.
00:06:01.000 Yeah.
00:06:02.000 It's fine.
00:06:03.000 Yeah.
00:06:04.000 Number 6, Lauren Conrad.
00:06:05.000 Make it you.
00:06:06.000 I think that your home should reflect who you are and your interests,
00:06:09.000 and you should be surrounded by things that you like,
00:06:11.000 and it should be very much your own aesthetic.
00:06:13.000 Lauren Conrad managed to turn a string of reality TV shows into a full-fledged career as a lifestyle guru.
00:06:20.000 She's designed her own fashion line and published a series of novels.
00:06:24.000 That's why her response to a question posed on a radio show was so delightfully perfect.
00:06:28.000 A listener asked what her favorite position was, and after a moment of contemplation, she answered, CEO.
00:06:35.000 Favorite position.
00:06:40.000 CEO.
00:06:41.000 It even took the radio hosts a minute to catch on to what she just said.
00:06:44.000 CEO.
00:06:45.000 Oh my God, yes!
00:06:46.000 Number 5.
00:06:47.000 I wouldn't, I would say it's inappropriate, not sexist, but yeah.
00:06:51.000 Scarlett Johansson.
00:06:52.000 Now, were you able to wear undergarments, if you were?
00:06:55.000 You're like the fifth person that's asking that to me.
00:06:57.000 Well, no, because it…
00:06:58.000 What is going on?
00:06:59.000 Ms. Johansson is no stranger to sexist interview questions,
00:07:02.000 and they came in on a seemingly constant basis while she did press for her role in the Avengers movies.
00:07:08.000 For instance, there was this press conference in which…
00:07:11.000 You know what I think was sexist?
00:07:12.000 I think it was sexist to have her do that role.
00:07:15.000 Because honestly, like, I swear to God, I swear to God, if I am ever in trouble…
00:07:21.000 Okay, this is controversial.
00:07:22.000 Okay, so buckle up.
00:07:24.000 If I'm ever getting robbed, and they send me a female police officer, what is she going to do?
00:07:32.000 What is she…
00:07:33.000 Especially in the UK, you guys don't even have guns here.
00:07:35.000 Like, in the US, at least she's got a gun, you know, that's better.
00:07:38.000 But like, even so, if she's like a 5'5 girl, they could just take it.
00:07:42.000 I'm not even a big movie person.
00:07:46.000 I watched this movie, but it was so long ago.
00:07:48.000 But if I remember correctly…
00:07:50.000 Yeah, no.
00:07:51.000 No, no, no.
00:07:52.000 But we'll see.
