'Henry Cavill, the Superman actor, believes women exhibit double standards in sexism when it comes to strangers propositioning him in the street.
The star of Batman v Superman also experiences a “deep and nasty backlash” levelled against his partners because of his fame.
Cavill, who is dating Tara King, a 19-year-old Bristol University student, has questioned how women would feel if they were the targets of the same propositions they fire at him.
He told the Sunday Times: “I do think there’s a bit of a double standard, you know.
“I mean, if a girl shouts something like ‘Oi, love, fancy a shag?’ to me as I walk past I do sometimes wonder how she’d feel if a builder said that to her.'
