\u201cAnd like, that wasn\u2019t inappropriate, but me fully covered up in a dress that people deemed to be childlike was inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Drop Dead hitmaker argued the backlash over her outfit \u201cshows how we really normalise paedophilia in our culture\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cAlso it\u2019s just this rhetoric we\u2019re fed as girls since we\u2019re so little, which is, don\u2019t wear that because then a man is going to sexualise your body and it\u2019s your fault. It\u2019s so weird.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rodrigo said she didn\u2019t feel like she \u201clooked sexy in that at all\u201d, and she doesn\u2019t want to bow down to the feelings of \u201csome f***ing freak\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was like, \u2018This is so cool. I feel I look like Kathleen Hanna or Courtney Love\u2019, all these people who are my heroes, and I felt cool and comfortable in it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just think if we start dressing in a way that\u2019s like, \u2018I don\u2019t want some f***ing freak to think that I\u2019m sexy like a baby\u2019 or some crazy thing like that, I think it\u2019s losing the plot a little bit.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just very protective of younger women, girls, and I don\u2019t ever want them to be fed that rhetoric.\u201d<\/p>\n
