Sienna Miller calls out double standard over women dating younger men: 'Fetishised rather than normalised'

Sienna Miller is defending her 15 year age gap relationship with Oli Green, calling for women dating younger men to be "normalised".In an interview with Grazia, the actress, 44, said there's a double standard held for women in age-gap couples, refecting on her experience of auditioning for a role as the love interest of a man in his mid-40s when she was 21."The idea of an older woman with a younger man, for example, is still fetishised rather than normalised," she said.Want the official inside scoop on MAFS, unfiltered and unseen?

It was more, 'F---! Why are you so young? That's so annoying," she told Harper's Bazaar.On her healing journey, Miller mentioned how settling it's been whilst partnered up with Green."There is a difference in the way that generation of men respect women," she explained."It's specific to him, he is very wise and well adjusted, but I do believe that it's also that generation."They have grown up with a slightly more level playing field."FOLLOW US ON WHATSAPP HERE: Stay across all the latest in celebrity, lifestyle and opinion via our WhatsApp channel.
