Freud described Penis Envy over a century ago and I am constantly bamboozled by how open women are with flaunting it while knowing they would actively deny it if mentioned.
Freud was right about a lot more general things than most people know, its just people really wanted to discredit him (because he was not nice to women) so the meme of his beliefs became more well known than the actuality. Karen Horney was one of his direct disciples and made it her life's work to do so, which is why she is a Feminist Icon and her made up "womb envy" term is now a common talking point among the RadFems.
He was certainly wrong about a lot still, but with how poor his methodology was and the pioneering he was doing, that's to be expected.
Funny how she rails against "cuteness" here, and in pretty much every English-language interview she does, now, and yet... That is pretty much the only reason she gets cast. If she was ugly, or hell, even as weird-looking as Rooney Mara or Claire Foy in the same damn role, then we would never have heard of her, so that is... Extremely entitled, and naive at best. Very much like Keira Knightley...
Even more ironically, in English-language films, I have only ever see her play a waifish, unequivocally hetero, damsel-in-distress type character, which is exactly what she purports to hate, and/or refuse to play, lol...
In that role, yeh. Though I have to admit to not finding her particularly attractive generally, most of the time. She just comes across as sort of "plain", to me. Though in her "real life" she seems to look better than in most of her roles, imo.
But anyway, as Lisbeth Salander specifically, she just looked... Weird. As did Rooney Mara, to a greater or lesser extent. I don't think anyone pulled, or could pull off, that role like Rapace did...
True that. Which I think worked, when she was playing Salander (as, from what I can tell, the whole "fierce, battered woman" schtick lines up with the original books), vis a vis the other two actresses who have played the role without the same "toughness".
But it doesn't work so well when almost all of her subsequent roles have been pretty much the antithesis of that, lol.
The "toughest" role I've seen her in, in the last 15 years, is almost certainly Lamb, and even then, I'm pretty sure she's a housewife, lol. And I think they only made her vaguely "independent and tough" because it's also a sort of Nordic noir...
In English-speaking roles, she's seemingly pretty much incapable of being any of what she claims to be in this article, which is... Amusing.
Then again I've rarely met a Swedish girl speaking English who sounded "tough". Grating? Sure. But rarely "tough"...
Danes, on the other hand...
Edit: Apparently she's half-Spanish. I always assumed she was second-gen immigrant Swede (there seem to be a lot with chips on their shoulders, especially women), but I assumed something more "exotic" than Spanish, lol...
Nah nah - I'm talking about all the talk about her "self-lived experience" like "I've allowed so much color in my life!". She's a shallow person trying to make her existence feel meaningful with vapid ideologies.
Hollywood is full of gay weirdos, more at 11.
True, but she's more "European arthouse" than Hollywood.
Still the film industry, of course, but the vast majority of her work has been on the other side of the Atlantic, rather than in Hollywood stuff.

Penis envy is probably the only thing Freud actually got right.

"Have your cake and eat it too", and all that...
Claire Foy is weird looking?

The woman has her head so far up her ass it’s a wonder she hasn’t imploded.

I mean, I've seen her naked and she's built like a dude so...LOL
This is true, at least if in the scenes I'm thinking of, lol.
Though it's been like 15 years. I would assume she has probably "matured", by now, at least physically, if not mentally/emotionally...
I didn't even recognize her in Lamb, at first!
Her moral consciousness is so warped that she's gloating instead of being ashamed of it.
She was definitely raped no question. I mean before she got to Hollywood, obviously.
So... you had a lovely fetish night out. Yay.
Now do furry orgies... send pics!
