Sandra Bullock recently sat down with E! to discuss her being named People magazine's "World's Most Beautiful" cover girl. Bullock used the platform to not talk about her beauty but the mistreatment of women in the media.
During the interview Bullock said she was shocked by the media's shaming of women based on their age and appearance.
"I feel like it's become open hunting season in how women are attacked, and it's not because of who we are as people, it's because of how we look or our age," Bullock said. The "Blind Side" actress said she worries about raising her 5-year-old son Louis in a world where woman are so easily picked apart for their imperfections.
She particularly feels bad for young girls who are overwhelmed with pressure and bullying on social media. "Little girls are having the hardest time with bullying and the Internet," Bullock said, adding, "Somebody with a very large hand and big voice needs to put a stop to it."
Bullock explained she accepted the People honor so she could use the platform to speak about all of those issues. "I said if I can talk about the amazing women who I find beautiful, which are these women who rise above and take care of business and do wonderful things, and take care of each other, then I'm more than honored to be on the cover of this," she said.
