Amy Adams and Demi Moore candidly discussed the language they uses when they have a conversation with their daughters
In a recent joint interview on Variety's Actors on Actors series, the Nightbitch actress shared that she uses gender-neutral vocabulary when applauding her 14-year-old daughter Aviana.
"You've raised daughters, and I've had to really work on being like, 'Oh my gosh, you're such a good... No, don't say it. You're such a good person, and I'm really proud of you.' Instead of..." Adams began
"You're a good girl," Moore finished Adams's statement, emphasizing the usage of more gender-neutral language while praising their daughters.
For those unversed Moore is the mother of three daughters, Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30 whom she shares with ex-husband Bruce Willis.
"Because there was something about that that I recognized I was paralyzed by for parts of my life," Adams explained. "I remember watching you and thinking, 'That's what it is to be a woman.' "
Elsewhere in the conversation, the pair discussed the double standards of society revolving around women for being angry.
"Women in general, there is a sense of it not being okay to be angry," the Substance actress said, adding, "Not that anybody’s saying we can’t be, but that it’s been in a way the collective consciousness of like, 'Oh, that’s not attractive."
