That’s just one the topics she discusses in the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine.

“Women really need to examine why they’re so vitriolic to other women,” the 42-year-old actress insists. “Why they want to twist words, why they want to read about someone else in a negative light and why that feels good to them.”

However, she’s quick to add, “But I also know a huge tribe of women who are loving and supportive of other women, in ways that are completely transformative.”

Paltrow also thinks women are all different and have a right to express themselves in a way that feels comfortable for them.

“I think we are a generation of women who are different in a lot of respects, and some of us want to be ambitious, and for it not to be a dirty word,” she tells the magazine.

She goes on to explain, “We want to be feminine and soft, we want to be maternal, we want to be sexual, we want to be explorers — and we can be a combination of all of these archetypes. You can be powerful, but you can also be vulnerable.”

“[I have] learnt the power of kindness and the importance of non-judgmental ways of looking at others,” she adds.

The February issue of Harper’s Bazaar will be available Jan. 2.

Paltrow will next be seen in the upcoming comedy Mortdecai, opposite Johnny Depp. It opens nationwide Jan. 23.
