Margot Robbie is so done with answering the age-old question: “When are you having kids?” The actress shared her views with Radio Times about not only her experience, but the overall experience of women being asked such an insensitive question. 

“It made me really angry,” she reiterated with the Times, according to multiple outlets. “How dare some old guy dictate what I can and can’t do when it comes to motherhood or my own body? Unfortunately, it’s a conversation we’re still having.”

“I got married, and the first question in almost every interview is, ‘Babies? When are you having one?’ I’m so angry that there’s this social contract,” the actress said. “You’re married, now have a baby. Don’t presume. I’ll do what I’m going to do.”

Margot is married to British screenwriter and producer Tom Ackerley. Her production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, is developing a television series about the female codebreakers in World War II, which she also touched on:

“I’m only really finding out the most fascinating things about history now that we have a production company,” she told the outlet. “We’re finding these projects and I’m learning all these things. It’s like, ‘So why is this not in the history books?’”
