Knightley received media attention for her perspectives on feminism, voiced in an interview with "Harper's Bazaar UK" published in the February 2014 edition. She explained that women face greater hurdles in the film industry compared to their male counterparts, and also revealed that she was perplexed by the use of "feminist" in a derogatory sense. "Somehow, it became a dirty word. I thought it was really weird for a long time, and I think it's great that we're coming out of that." Knightley posed topless for the September 2014 issue of "Interview" magazine, on the condition that she not be photoshopped, to draw attention to how "women's bodies are a battleground, and photography is partly to blame".- </ref>
