Margot Robbie Thinks That 'Vanity Fair' Article Was Way Inappropriate, Too

Don't worry, it wasn't just you.

Several weeks ago,Vanity Fair published a confounding profile about Suicide Squad star Margot Robbie. The article was not only a victim of terrible writing, it was straight-up sexist and demeaning towards her native country of Australia. It seemed that the author of the profile, a man, used his boner more than his actual brain when he wrote lines like:

"She is 26 and beautiful, not in that otherworldly, catwalk way but in a minor knock-around key, a blue mood, a slow dance. She is blonde but dark at the roots. She is tall but only with the help of certain shoes. She can be sexy and composed even while naked but only in character."

And the final kicker, in which he can't hold back his arousal any longer:

"We sat for a moment in silence. She was thinking of something; I was thinking of something else."

Ugh, WHY?

The profile received a lot of backlash on social media, naturally, and left people feeling icky and grossed out. It turns out, the Australian actress was just as bothered and confused by the whole profile, too (I mean, how could you not be?). In a new interview with an Australian TV show, Robbie revealed her discomfort:  

"I remember thinking, that was a really odd interview. I don't know how that's going to come out," she said. "And then when I read it. I was like yeah, the tone of this is really weird. Like, I don't really know what he's trying to get at."

She continued: 

"I've read far more offensive, far more sexist, insulting, derogatory, disgusting things on a daily basis," Robbie said. "I don't know. Maybe, I'm like, desensitized to it now."

That's really not a good thing.
