The thing is - Keira clearly was judging Kate. If you read her whole essay, it has a very accusatory tone and I felt like she was slamming Kate for looking good. I'm a woman myself and I don't believe in shaming other women for how they deal with childbirth. Every woman's experience of childbirth is different. Just because Keira's experience was a certain way, doesn't mean Kate's had to have been the same. In her essay she was slamming Kate for not representing the experience that Keira had, and that is wrong. For her to then blame the press for "misinterpreting" it, is dishonest. And I think in this case, Kate is a royal. She has an image to uphold. The royal family relies on the "never complain, never explain" approach. If Kate had come out with no makeup on with her hair a mess, it would have tarnished the image of the Royals and she would have been all over the press. She can't win, and Keira should have realised that.
I've watched her other interviews throughout the years and I've always been impressed by how articulate she is. Not everyone has the skills to fully and succinctly express their thoughts and opinions the way she does.
Beth Lancaster and you don’t understand the point she’s trying to make..... I don’t get why people are so butt hurt over the Disney thing. Care to enlighten?
I'm actually really pleased by the interviewer as much i am with Keira, she seemed really interested in the conversation and asked those questions in a genuine way it was like she really wanted to hear the answer not just for the sake of the interview. Plus those remarks and references on the essay shows that she did her homework !
I’ve always liked her but I never had that kind of interest to search an interview and actually hear her talk. But today I did and wow... Woman goals, that’s all I’ll say!
Thank you, Keira. I’m a mother of two, my youngest one is 6. I am still struggling to have a life outside of my family. My mother didn’t do that for herself and she resented us, and I don’t want to do the same. Today, I resolve to make it a daily habit to do one thing for myself. Wish me luck!
Not really telling of anything. All attributes are gained or learned exclusively of any others. Just because shes beautiful it does not mean she would automatically be a genius or wise. I think the fact that you can't tell that people are giving her credit where it is due is actually more telling.
THIS is so important to talk about, i feel like the information people give to mothers and future generations will have to be more truthful and not just paint a pretty picture, and your baby will all be worth it...just to calm a pregnant womans mind. I had obviously heard of baby blues, but i had very untrue statistics about it, aswell as information surrounding that and mental illness at all. I had never been the least bit depressed in my life, so when i got a severe post partum depression i didn't even realize what it was. I had no idea that depression was severly linked to childbirth and breastfeeding. that the hormones make you depressed. Not every woman, but alot of women. I also had no idea childbirth could easily damage your body and age it severly with child birth. I had a very successful labour my papers say...but in reality it was like getting tortured and my vagina ripped and didn't heal for 8 months, and will never exactly be what it was. I asked my grandmother avout why noone talks about this and she said it was just not classy to talk about in the olden days and very hush hush, people didn't seek help for it even. My grandmother said many suffered in silence long ago, and it's good if more people are being honest.
@@sai9718 well that comes from a person who is not secure enough of him/herself to even put up a face´s picture on his social media accounts.....get a life man/woman
julio chino how can you say get a life in what aspect? and to boast about security because one doesn’t have a picture of them self as a TH-cam picture is just pathetic. I mean it’s youtube not Instagram, alsoI’m stating an opinion about Keira just like you. clearly your insecure enough to not handle a slight thought of an opinion about not finding the same person you find attractive not very appealing Can’t handle it then you need to get a life and deal with it, Simple. I don’t understand why you can’t accept that someone might not find her pretty everyone is different not everyone looks at a plain simple looking woman as attractive and that’s okay.
And many women think working in a bank when they're 45 and childless will make them happy. Then they realise they desperately want a baby but it's too late.
As a full time mom, I don't consider myself "stuck" in my family life. I make time for myself and I am still me, but what makes me "me" is largely due to my role as a wife and mother. What's wrong with that? I chose that over a career outside the home, because any other job would've been a demotion. I have other passions and interest as well, but I don't look at them as separate things. The only time I feel discontented with this is when I listen to voices in the mainstream that says, "there's more to you as a woman". Many modern feminists seem to forget that a woman's right to choose family over career should be equally celebrated as the other, but instead there's a tone of disapproval. Maybe that's why women believe they "lose themselves" and ultimately fulfill that prediction by seeing themselves as many parts instead of a whole person. If our choice was celebrated and praised through the media and celebrity feminists, if we were treated as true equals, made to feel successful, how would that effect a full time mom's view of herself as a woman and how she fits into modern society. The mainstream has a powerful way of shaping views and opinions and placing stereotypes and stigmas doesn't it?
I read her whole piece about Middleton and I think the outrage occurs only when you take it out of context. I think her point is valid. It's irresponsible to hold the Duchess of Cambridge's experience up as a "normal" birthing experience because it's not.
Who in their right mind would look at her experience and say "yup, that's going to be me!" and then freak out when it's not? She's married to the future king, of course her experience is going to be vastly different from Jessica's down the street. People have seriously lost their ability to think.
There's so many taboos around parenting it's ridiculous. As someone who doesn't want to have children I don't understand why someone would want to do that to their body or mind.
0Flow0 yes, thank you. I’m 31 and people still ask me if I’m married and going to have kids. And it puts women in such a box and has the overtone it’s expected. My views: the world is overpopulated. I will adopt if I really want to be a parent and give a kid a loving home. I was adopted (by a woman who was never pregnant) and I love the idea of showing a kid family is not about blood. It’s how someone treats you. But hell no-I will not physically have a baby. I’m 5 feet tall, if I gain weight it’s obvious and I want to be fit, I’m content with my figure now . I also think I’d gain a ton of weight and be depressed. I wouldn’t be shocked if I’d experience PP depression. And then guilt about being depressed. So really-I’m glad I’m a millennial. I’m glad the generation isn’t pushing out babies like the previous generations.
@@PlaceForAnEcho i bet you're a liberal who supports mass immigration while moaning about over population lol. And being 5 ft tall means you can't have a baby? What sort of madness is this?? The only reason 50% of women become depressed is because they don't eat the placenta and they don't eat a healthy diet when their body has just given all its mineral and nutrient stores to make a baby.
eva y the guy (bat shit crazy) who jumped into the convo seems insane and doesn’t warrant a response. But as a woman adopted out of India by an Italian, White woman he assumed a lot. I don’t want my body to change, it’s called autonomy. I control my body and mind. The guy is clearly a white supremicist mposing his outdated ideology. His comments do not have any value and he’s clearly a small minded person. Had to laugh though cause yeah, I have 2 dogs. Both female. I did foster care for a while and it wasn’t for me at the time but anyone who claims they care about children and only want women to have babies don’t actually care about a child’s quality of life. They are only pro birth. Because do they care about the millions (yes, millions) of children who are available for adoption or kids in the system? Clearly no. Lack of logic is what fuels pro birthers. And I’m sure he thinks gay women are horrible because they’re not going to have kids (usually). People who think that way are thankfully not the majority.
I loved Keira for opening up about her own experience with childbirth. I just think mentioning Kate Middleton was not necessary because Kate HAS to present herself the way she does because royal protocol calls for it. People expect it. It takes a tremendous amount of sacrifice, strength, and resilience to meet those expectations. And just because Kate doesn't show the public the difficulties she faced and still faces doesn't mean that they don't exist. For Keira she must of had this calling to share her experience to help other mums. That's fantastic. But why mention Kate at all?
My fave actress right here! She’s eloquent, so real, and extremely well spoken. Her talent floors me, as well as her intelligence. Gosh I love this woman phenomenal❤️!
Omg............ why does that even matter at all? Do you really think that’s what she wants you to get after this interview? And “youthful” looking? Jesus Christ... there were so many important points to get from this video but your comment wasn’t one at all
Bárbara Sofía Cesario pointing out someone’s beautiful doesnt make them less relatable or intelligent if that’s what you think. Stop making complementing them an obstacle towards woman.
Diana was shamed for having really bad morning sickness during her pregnancy and shamed into fulfilling her duties. I think maybe a little was learned by the time Kate had her first. It seems the media reported it a little more sensitively. But I don't live there.
When I was having group therapy a couple years ago there were 2 women there who had suffered horribly from postpartum depression. One hadn't spoken to her family in 20 years because they were so ashamed of her breakdown. I'd had no idea it was such a prevalent thing, so I'm glad women like Keira are speaking up about it.
@1:41 BS. She judged Kate so harshly it was pretty sad to read what she said about her in the essay. She judged Kate. I used to like Keira, although she says some things that are true, she is full of anger. I think she feels ALL women go through horrible birth experience. She couldnt have said enough “many” in her sentence. I can’t say anything about giving birth because I had to have a csection because of difficulties. But my mother always talks about how giving birth to me wasnt as horrible as she thought it would be. Biologically women are meant to be mothers, if all women in this world start acting like everyone else in this comment section and dont have children.... there would be no human race left. 🙄 And for the record, I love being a mother. I go through a lot of worry and heartache ever since, but the love I have in my heart for my son overpowers anything!! Being a mother is amazing.
I wish she would've admitted that mentioning specificially another mom - Kate Middleton or anyone else - was a clumsy way of making her point. She knows how the media works, she could've forseen this. Now, the point she made, I agree with. Too bad it got overshadowed by one awkward comment.
I prefer these types of comments from her rather than telling the world her daughter isn’t allowed to watch certain Disney movies. Now THIS i can get on board with. Very eloquently put.
Back in the real world everybody else is fully aware of how hard motherhood and bringing up a child can be. I think she actually believes that people are taken in by how celebrities make it look so easy because they've got millions of dollars/pounds. Us plebs know what the reality is only too well.
Both you and she have overestimated the importance of her and celebrities like her when it comes to people formulating life choices. Young girls may follow fashion of celebrities, but when it comes to having children people rely on their families for advice and guidance. They don't think it's going to be like it was for the people who are too rich and famous to push. So no, normal people do not think it's going to be as easy for them as it is for a celebrity who's a millionaire and can employ round the clock nannies. To believe that is to think of people as simpletons, and in the vast majority people are not that dumb.
@@MatchesMalone1183 you're right that we don't look to celebrities when difficult life situation hits us like child birth. But as a society, most if not all women do look at celebrities (like Kate Middleton) and hold her as "mommy goals" for recovering super duper fast, losing all the babys weight in a day & pretend nothing happened to your body and show everyone that everything is perfectly fine. As a new mother I felt constantly ashamed for not being able to "look perfect" or adjust to a newborn within a day or a week or a month. Even though I had amazing family around me to teach me values and help me whenever I needed it. I had a lot of pressure to appear as if everything was great! I felt proud when people asked me how I lost the weight so quickly, on the other hand hating that my appetite was back and i was constantly hungry as i breastfed my baby, thinking I'll get fat and lose this pride. I had pregnant girls share their fear with me that they may not lose weight as quickly as I did. I had new mother ask me what I ate and what they should eat for losing weight. All this to prove to the world that they can fulfill a certain expectation set upon us. We were all losing sleep and our minds but what we felt ashamed and worried about was how our family and friends perceived of our lives. Many of my friends felt bad for me, "you're probably losing your mind huh? You probably went through hell huh?" Yes I did, but I didnt want others to think that or to put a negative spin on this part of my life. The reality of childbirth and life with a newborn is complex and only new mothers understand. We need to be strong enough as a gender not to care about the opinions of others, whether it be media or family and friends. Once we can do that, then we can overcome all this struggle to be heard and feel accepted and feel justified for our trauma that is childbirth.
@@shahanamaryam9465 You were making such a great point until you said "pregnant 🤰 'girls 👭'". Now I don't take you seriously at all. Maybe you're part of an underage 🔞 mothers club but Kiera Knightley's is about womanhood. #ByeLittleGirl
@@PR7-82 sweety, I'm definitely not part of an underage mothers club. I'm younger than 30 but over 20 and yep, I called myself and my peers "girls". I'm sorry if that bothered you, but not too sorry. If you stopped taking me seriously because I called myself a girl and not a "woman", then my point wasn't for you to begin with. My point is for those who need it, not for those who pick at words and pretend to be holier than thou. Also, woman implies that you are strong mentally and emotionally compared to your younger self, a girl. But my point includes that not all women who give birth are mentally and emotionally prepared for their going through, hence "girl". In my opinion a woman is someone who has gone through life, is mature enough to understand what she went through and has accepted it and is now able to look at it with new and positive perspective. A girl can be someone who is going through shit that she's been thrown and is still learning to adapt. If you cant accept that girls go through this shit (even those under 18), then I dont know what world you're living in.
Interesting that by the comments it would seem that women agree with Keira, but men are bitching about her. If you guys actually listened to women there would be less problems in the world. And actually, as men, who are you to judge any woman on motherhood?
There is women who want to raise their child! Who love providing for their family and Society. If We could acknowledge that mums work! Childcare 365days 24/7 is not work? Every nanny would disagree - YOURS TOO MIRANDA!
I believe why so many women are having mental health issues in pregnancy/post pregnancy is due to nutrition. Most mommas don't get the nutrition they need. Babies take what they need and lack of nutrition affects hormones, the brain etc.
I'm sorry, but when you've got "an incredibly supportive family and can afford really good childcare" parenting is NOT "still phenomenally difficult." There'll be difficult moments, surely, there always are in parenting, but an incredibly supportive family and plenty of money for top quality childcare takes about 95% of the stress out of parenting, and frankly it would take someone with those privileges not to realise this.
She says, women can do whatever they want since they're pressured by society, and the measure of a good parent is them saying 'well i'm doing it'. Grief.
she said very clearly she would never judge a woman's response to society. So she isn't judging kate's choice of looking amazing after giving birth because keira thinks kate is being forced by society to look that way.
So raising children raising your own children is not the life of your own question mark I find this trend concerning. What we do is take away the choice from women this happens to your too!
“I would never judge any woman for how they response to society’s demand. But I do judge the society that demands them.”
such a great quote
Incredible. So profound
So brilliant. I heard that, and immediately wrote it down.

She can't win, and Keira should have realised that.

Insightful inspiring.
Fantastic, Keira!!
I absolutely love this woman Keira!
Wow!!! ..... Wow!!!
I love her!
Kiera do me dirty Wimbledon style she said I’m the star
I prefer these types of comments from her rather than telling the world her daughter isn’t allowed to watch certain Disney movies. Now THIS i can get on board with. Very eloquently put.
I am a proud gay man and love, love Keira Knightley. She is a wonderful and blessed woman.
How is this feminist? Is just common sense and being aware of a real issue. Love Keira.
Back in the real world everybody else is fully aware of how hard motherhood and bringing up a child can be. I think she actually believes that people are taken in by how celebrities make it look so easy because they've got millions of dollars/pounds. Us plebs know what the reality is only too well.
Yes she believes that. Because it's true. You have missed the point, and are part of the problem she is talking about.
Both you and she have overestimated the importance of her and celebrities like her when it comes to people formulating life choices. Young girls may follow fashion of celebrities, but when it comes to having children people rely on their families for advice and guidance. They don't think it's going to be like it was for the people who are too rich and famous to push. So no, normal people do not think it's going to be as easy for them as it is for a celebrity who's a millionaire and can employ round the clock nannies. To believe that is to think of people as simpletons, and in the vast majority people are not that dumb.
@@MatchesMalone1183 you're right that we don't look to celebrities when difficult life situation hits us like child birth. But as a society, most if not all women do look at celebrities (like Kate Middleton) and hold her as "mommy goals" for recovering super duper fast, losing all the babys weight in a day & pretend nothing happened to your body and show everyone that everything is perfectly fine. As a new mother I felt constantly ashamed for not being able to "look perfect" or adjust to a newborn within a day or a week or a month. Even though I had amazing family around me to teach me values and help me whenever I needed it. I had a lot of pressure to appear as if everything was great! I felt proud when people asked me how I lost the weight so quickly, on the other hand hating that my appetite was back and i was constantly hungry as i breastfed my baby, thinking I'll get fat and lose this pride. I had pregnant girls share their fear with me that they may not lose weight as quickly as I did. I had new mother ask me what I ate and what they should eat for losing weight. All this to prove to the world that they can fulfill a certain expectation set upon us. We were all losing sleep and our minds but what we felt ashamed and worried about was how our family and friends perceived of our lives. Many of my friends felt bad for me, "you're probably losing your mind huh? You probably went through hell huh?" Yes I did, but I didnt want others to think that or to put a negative spin on this part of my life. The reality of childbirth and life with a newborn is complex and only new mothers understand. We need to be strong enough as a gender not to care about the opinions of others, whether it be media or family and friends. Once we can do that, then we can overcome all this struggle to be heard and feel accepted and feel justified for our trauma that is childbirth.
@@shahanamaryam9465 You were making such a great point until you said "pregnant 🤰 'girls 👭'". Now I don't take you seriously at all. Maybe you're part of an underage 🔞 mothers club but Kiera Knightley's is about womanhood. #ByeLittleGirl
@@PR7-82 sweety, I'm definitely not part of an underage mothers club. I'm younger than 30 but over 20 and yep, I called myself and my peers "girls". I'm sorry if that bothered you, but not too sorry. If you stopped taking me seriously because I called myself a girl and not a "woman", then my point wasn't for you to begin with. My point is for those who need it, not for those who pick at words and pretend to be holier than thou.
Also, woman implies that you are strong mentally and emotionally compared to your younger self, a girl. But my point includes that not all women who give birth are mentally and emotionally prepared for their going through, hence "girl". In my opinion a woman is someone who has gone through life, is mature enough to understand what she went through and has accepted it and is now able to look at it with new and positive perspective. A girl can be someone who is going through shit that she's been thrown and is still learning to adapt. If you cant accept that girls go through this shit (even those under 18), then I dont know what world you're living in.
Keira Knightley is awesome!
Interesting that by the comments it would seem that women agree with Keira, but men are bitching about her. If you guys actually listened to women there would be less problems in the world. And actually, as men, who are you to judge any woman on motherhood?
There is women who want to raise their child! Who love providing for their family and Society. If We could acknowledge that mums work! Childcare 365days 24/7 is not work? Every nanny would disagree - YOURS TOO MIRANDA!
Mari Labuddah who are you talking to??
I love her
When you have help, and you can take a break childcare is not “Phenomenally” difficult. Help makes all the difference in the world.
Yess!!!
Oh hell yeah woman empowerment ✊🏼 I love how she talks so genuine #metoo
She is a class act love her!
Brillant!!
Our Pirate Queen!
She's an inspiration
CLASS
That accent❤👌💜
What did she say about Kate Middleton in this essay?
I believe why so many women are having mental health issues in pregnancy/post pregnancy is due to nutrition. Most mommas don't get the nutrition they need. Babies take what they need and lack of nutrition affects hormones, the brain etc.
I'm sorry, but when you've got "an incredibly supportive family and can afford really good childcare" parenting is NOT "still phenomenally difficult." There'll be difficult moments, surely, there always are in parenting, but an incredibly supportive family and plenty of money for top quality childcare takes about 95% of the stress out of parenting, and frankly it would take someone with those privileges not to realise this.
Easily my favorite actress
❤this
you hear em guys, read the "whol"
smh Keira being fucking amazing as usual.
How does talking about this help women?
AAAmoony if people talk about this more people will realize how important this issue is and will stop shaming mothers
Who else only knows her from wizards of Waverley place
Role model material
She says, women can do whatever they want since they're pressured by society, and the measure of a good parent is them saying 'well i'm doing it'. Grief.
this reporter is so cringe on her own, but especially and even more so in the presence of knightley
Keira got lovely eyes
I dont understand-she likes Kate Middleton or not?
she said very clearly she would never judge a woman's response to society. So she isn't judging kate's choice of looking amazing after giving birth because keira thinks kate is being forced by society to look that way.
You’ve missed the point. The conversation she’s having isn’t about whether she likes Kate or not.
So raising children raising your own children is not the life of your own question mark I find this trend concerning. What we do is take away the choice from women this happens to your too!
I’m not a fan of hers. Although she did articulate herself very well here.
for herself :)
