Looks like someone needed to blow off some steam!

in a new Time interview, Gwyneth Paltrow hi the sexist way in which the public pits powerful women against each other , and she makes an excellent point that men are never compared and rather allowed their individual successes. After sounding off on the comparisons, the leggy blonde hit the gym in Los Angeles this morning.

Her response was prompted when the interviewer asked if the Goop founder ever checked out fellow actress' Blake Lively, Jessica Alba, and Reese Witherspoon's lifestyle brands. "This is a very interesting question, because I wonder if George Clooney would be asked about Puff Daddy’s ancillary liquor line. I’m fascinated how the media in particular are so confounded by entrepreneurial women doing something outside of their box," she explained.

She's such an easy target to make fun of, but this time we kind of agree with her!

The Oscar winner also pointed out that none of their brands are exactly the same. "Jessica [Alba], especially, who’s a friend of mine—our businesses could not be more different. There’s not a lifestyle piece to her business. The fundamentals of our sites are very different," she stated.

Although Reese's recently launched Draper James is slightly more of the same vibe, there are still aspects that differ. "Our businesses have similarities, but hers has retail. People are grasping at straws to tie us together and I get it, because it makes a good story, but I’m slightly offended by this sort of generalization that happens with myself and Jessica and Reese and Blake. Yes, there are similarities. But there aren’t stories in TIME written saying, 'Wow, look at Arnold Schwarzenegger, who did x, y, and z!'," she noted.

"I feel there’s something slightly misogynistic about it. This is a common theme. I think Reese and Jessica and I—I don’t know Blake Lively, and I don’t know if Jessica and Reese know each other—I’m friends with both of them and I speak to both of them and I want to do everything I can to support their businesses. I’m not articulating it well, because I haven’t completely worked out what it is, but I feel very proud when Jessica was on the cover of Forbes. I think that’s amazing. You can quantitatively say, 'Look what she’s done, she’s been able to conceive of a business and scale it to that size, in that amount of time.' But we have such different businesses," she gushed.

So what does she think is causing this way of thinking, and what is the solution?

    "I think you just put your nose to the grindstone and build your business and scale the best way you know how. You just keep going in hopes the story becomes not people pitting women against each other, which is not founded in truth. There’s no competition. None of us think we’re in each other’s space. I don’t know how you do it! You just get to f—ing work! I think we’re in a funny time for women. We are more and more the breadwinners in families across America or contributing equally; there’s a shift happening sociologically and psychologically. People are wrestling with this new archetype of being a woman with a brain who’s also sexual and trying to do more than one thing at a time. I also feel proud. Why would I not want to do that, if it’s a passion?" she theorized.


Let's hear it for the girls!
