Keira Knightley recently opened up about her experiences with misogyny and the horror stories her female friends have shared with her.
Speaking to Harper's Bazaar for its July issue, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star said she found it "depressing" that women continue to suffer unwanted remarks and advances in the era of #MeToo.

The two-time Oscar nominee recalled the epiphany she had when women began stepping forward with their stories.
"It was when women started listing all the precautions they take when they walk home to make sure they’re safe, and I thought, I do every single one of them, and I don’t even think about it," she said. "It’s f------ depressing."
