Nigella Lawson has praised the fact that younger generations of women have I Am a Playthingbeen brought up to "stand up for themselves," stating that her generation was raised to treat men in a different way entirely.
SEE ALSO: Women over 50 see sexual harassment very differently than millennialsSpeaking at the Sydney Opera House on Sunday, the author and TV cook shared her thoughts on the #MeToo movement and the generational differences in gender dynamics.
Lawson said it's "very good" that young women are now brought up to "fight" and to feel they "must stand up for themselves." She noted that it was a different story entirely for women of her generation.
"I think certainly women of my generation were always encouraged to make men feel good about themselves, and I don’t mean we were taught to acquiesce, but in perhaps shunning any overture, we were always told we mustn’t make a man feel bad about anything," she continued.
She added that she believes it's "good" that a generation of women aren't being raised to believe "the most important thing is the man feels OK about having made a pass at someone and been rejected."
Lawson also talked about workplace sexual harassment, which she states affects women across every industry.
"It’s important to remember that this affects women in every line of work, and in very unglamorous lines of work too, where they don’t have voices to complain," says Lawson. "I think that it’s important that those women’s lives are being paid attention to and being safeguarded."
