"Natalie Portman has said that the Hollywood presentation of feminist stories as just being those where the &amp;quot;woman kicks ass and wins&amp;quot; is misguided. The actress told Elle that stories about weak and vulnerable women can also be feminist if they provoke empathy and are realistic.  &amp;quot;I want every version of a woman and a man to be possible,&amp;quot; Portman said. &amp;quot;I want women and men to be able to be full-time parents or full-time working people or any combination of the two. &amp;quot;I want both to be able to do whatever they want sexually without being called names.&amp;quot;  She added: &amp;quot;I want them to be allowed to be weak and strong and happy and sad - human, basically.  &amp;quot;The fallacy in Hollywood is that if you&amp;#039;re making a &amp;#039;feminist&amp;#039; story, the woman kicks ass and wins.  &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s not feminist, that&amp;#039;s macho. A movie about a weak, vulnerable woman can be feminist if it shows a real person that we can empathise with.&amp;quot; But asked about punching Tom Hiddleston in the face on the set of Thor, she said: &amp;quot;Oh my god: it was so good!&amp;quot;  Hiddleston said: &amp;quot;Natalie has a neat right hook. I know this because the first time we shared screen time, she punched me in the face.  &amp;quot;She bursts out laughing when I remind her of this over dinner, while interviewing her for Elle.&amp;quot; She replied: &amp;quot;Wait, didn&amp;#039;t I miss? I feel like once I actually hit you - and too hard.&amp;quot;  Portman added of motherhood: &amp;quot;I love being a mom, but it&amp;#039;s much more intensive work than being an actress - going to work feels like you&amp;#039;ve got a day off. &amp;quot;Not that I want a day off from being a mom, it&amp;#039;s just perhaps I had this impression before that moms don&amp;#039;t work. But they work more than anyone.&amp;quot; The full Natalie Portman interview appears in the November issue of Elle UK, on sale Wednesday, October 2 2013. Also available as a digital edition.
