Of course, Knightley recently starred in feminist dramedy, Misbehaviour, as feminist protester (and single mother) Sally Alexander.

Based on real-life events, the film recounts how the newly-formed Women’s Liberation Movement invaded the stage at the Miss World competition, successfully disrupting the most-watched live television broadcast at the time.

While the film was set in 1970, though, Knightley says that the sexist expectations around childcare endure even now.

“Why do we not expect a working man to be looking after their children as much as their partner is?” she said while promoting the movie, as per Hello Giggles.

“Why do we assume that they don’t feel guilty about not spending enough time with their children as well?”
