Dame Helen Mirren is not shy to speak her mind.

The Oscar-winning actress has taken aim at men who sling their arm over their girlfriend’s shoulders because it looks like ‘ownership’.

In an interview with the Mail On Sunday’s You Magazine, Dame Helen compared women to ‘toddlers in this modern world’ in the sense they were were still ‘trying to find their position in the age of sexual liberation, birth control, education and financial independence.’

This idiot libtard is right ... you bad old Freeper men should quit oppressing women by signifying your ownership of them ... especially the ones who are still trying to find their position in the age of sexual liberation, birth control, education and financial independence!

Helen, I suggest you start reading Camille Paglia’s writings. She figured it out for you a long time ago . . .

This from a woman who spent most of her career in the nude. When I was forced to see the Mirren/Alan Rickman “Antony & Cleopatra” I knew when it got to asp scene, we’d again all get to see her...and we did. I was surprised when she played the Queen in her recent play, Elizabeth didn’t get naked.

She is British so naturally male attraction to a woman is a completely foreign concept.

Is this that old actress who admitted she slept with directors and producers to get parts?

I think it looks like he’s too weak, stoned, or just too idle to support his own weight.

Does this mean I have to take the collar and chain off my wife’s neck?

It’s not a sign of ownership, Helen, it’s a sign of protection. It’s a man’s way of signalling to other men than this woman is his and he will defend her.

It also feels good, you should try it sometime :)

Once again confirming that liberal women are miserable lots who would love nothing more than to see every other women end up as a miserable, barren spinster.

According to Mirren, as long as these women keep expressing their “freedom” and “liberation” by having as many sexual relations as possible and contracting every sort of sexually transmitted pathogen as possible they are really will never be happy.
