The 41-year-old actress says society is responsible for it and the mindset needs to change, reported Elle magazine.
"I do think that men have it a lot easier than women. I think men are forgiven for their mistakes much easier than women. It's a societal thing. I think we allow men to get away with things and we're harsher with women," says Theron.
The "Fate of the Furious" actress says sometimes women end up being the "worst enemies" of other women.
