Over the years, Ryan Gosling has frequently expressed his high regard for the female sex.

In another brazen display of his feminist credentials, the 35-year-old actor has now declared he believes women to be the stronger sex.

On top of this, Gosling argued it was high time men experienced their fair share of objectification.

“I think women are better than men,” he told the Evening Standard. “‘They are stronger. More evolved. You can tell especially when you have daughters and you see their early stages, they are just leaps and bounds beyond boys immediately.”

When asked about the objectification of men, Gosling said, “It’s our time as men to be on the receiving end of the stick.”

“I grew up with women so I’ve always been aware of it,” he continued. “When my mother and I walked to the grocery store, men would circle the block in cars. It was very scary, especially as a young boy. Very predatory; a hunt.”

Gosling admitted he has always preferred female company. “I’ve always liked women more,” he said. “I was brought up by my mother and older sister. I found my way into dance class. My home life now is mostly women. They are better than us. They make me better.”

Gosling said he hoped there would be a female president soon but chose not to name names. “I think it needs a woman’s touch,” he said.
