Hey, girl: Ryan Gosling thinks 'women are better than men'
Ryan Gosling has spoken: girls rule, boys drool.
The actor -- perhaps in fear his heartthrob title was in jeopardy -- admitted to Evening Standard Magazine that he thinks females are the superior sex.
"I think women are better than men," Gosling said.

"They are stronger, more evolved. You can tell especially when you have daughters and you see their early stages, they are just leaps and bounds beyond boys immediately," he added.

The actor has two daughters with girlfriend Eva Mendes -- the youngest was born in April. He also explains how a strong female presence growing up (he was raised by his mother and older sister) made him aware of the male gaze.
“When my mother and I walked to the grocery store, men would circle the block in cars. It was very, very scary, especially as a young boy. Very predatory — a hunt,” he said. “It’s our time as men to be on the receiving end of the stick."
The Nice Guys actor also said he identifies as 47-49 percent woman, depending on the day.
"I found my way into dance class. My home life now is mostly women. They are better than us. They make me better."
Gosling also vaguely hinted his support for Hillary Clinton saying the U.S. needs a "a woman's touch." (He, unfortunately, is Canadian and can't vote in 2016.)
But somewhere, the creator of the Feminist Ryan Gosling meme is smiling.
