Dame Joanna Lumley says young women were “a lot tougher” over sexism in years gone by, while now there is a trend for being “a victim”. The actor and author, who started out as a model in the Sixties, says “the new fashion is to be a victim, a victim of something. It’s pathetic. We have gone mad.”
When asked about the #MeToo movement, she told Prospect magazine: “If someone whistled at you in the street, it didn’t matter. If someone was groping, we slapped their hands. We were quite tough and looked after ourselves.”
