Mescal joked offhand about a phone being used as a defensive tool, and Ronan, after all the men laughed, pointed out that women are constantly considering how to defend themselves.
“That’s what girls have to think about all the time,” she said, which hushed the actors and audience alike.

The moment quickly went viral. It was a good example of how men often don’t understand how women experience the world.
“The reaction has been wild. It’s definitely not something that I had expected, and I didn’t necessarily set out to sort of make a splash,” Ronan said on The Ryan Tubridy Show on Virgin Radio UK on Wednesday, via The Irish Examiner. “But I do think there’s something really telling about the society that we’re in right now and about how open women want to be with the men in their lives.”
Ronan noted that the popularity of the Norton Show clip opened up folks to have a conversation.
“[It allows] more women to just be like, ‘Well, yeah, actually, let’s talk about our experience,’” she said, per The Hollywood Reporter.
