She continued and wrote, “The predatory behaviour of men is devastating women and it’s something that is learned young. Women can’t keep screaming about it… there has to come a point where men check themselves and other men and boys for their behaviour. We are tired.”

The GOT actress added further, “The countless times of having my arse grabbed or a hand up my skirt. When I was like 21, two young teenage boys put their hands up my skirt… it was only when my boyfriend at the time found them and reprimanded them that they stopped finding it funny. I was humiliated.”
