Saoirse Ronan's comment on The Graham Norton Show about the everyday safety concerns women face has generated significant attention and sparked widespread discussions online. During a conversation with fellow guests Paul Mescal, Eddie Redmayne, and Denzel Washington, Ronan highlighted the reality that women frequently consider self-defense when Redmayne's anecdote about using a phone as a weapon was humorously dismissed by Mescal. Despite not intending to cause such a stir, Ronan described the reaction as 'wild' and believes it reflects society's current openness towards discussing women's experiences with men. The viral moment has been praised for raising awareness, leading to meaningful conversations among women and men alike, and serving as a catalyst for broader discussions on gender-based safety concerns. Ronan has urged viewers to watch the full context of the interview to understand the importance of the issue she addressed.
