Tina Fey believes that misogyny is "much more real" than it was two ago.
The 46-year-old actress has said that she believes women's rights are in
a "throwback moment" and are getting worse than they were before, which
she blames on the recent US presidential election which saw
controversial candidate Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the race to
the White House.
The '30 Rock' actress said: "It feels like we were on the precipice of
things getting pretty good, and now we're in a bit of a throwback
moment. I definitely came out of last month feeling misogyny is much
more real than two years ago."
But it isn't just women's rights and equality that upsets the 'Whiskey
Tango Foxtrot' star though, as Tina says what scares her more about the
world today is "the internet".
She said: "The thing I worry about [more] than actual human interaction is the internet.
"Because that's just despicable: people just being able to be awful to each other without having to be in the same room.
"It's metastasising now, thanks to our glorious president-elect who
can't muster the dignity of a seventh-grader. It's so easy for people to
abuse each other and to abandon all civility."
And although Tina might not like the internet very much, she admits it
does come in handy for helping her keep in touch with her former
'Saturday Night Live' ('SNL') co-stars - including Amy Poehler, Maya
Rudolph, and Paula Pell - as they "talk as a group" using their
computers.
Speaking in the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine, Tina
said: "I have a group of women that I worked with at 'SNL' and we talk
as a group through the computer every single day. Dozens of times a day.
And it's very nice.
"It's something we've come to in our 40s. It was easy when we worked at
'SNL': You're on top of each other 60 hours a week. So it's nice that we
are maintaining this friendship."
