As accusers continue to come forward amidst a national reckoning over sexual harassment, Jodie Foster is eager to hear the other side's perspective.

"We really are at a watershed moment," Foster told USA TODAY, while promoting an upcoming episode of Netflix's Black Mirror that she directed (premiering Dec. 29). "This part has been painful: these wonderful, amazing narratives that take into consideration everybody’s part in it. I’m really interested and looking forward to the men’s point of view, and what comes next in terms of therapy."

For nearly five decades, the two-time Oscar winner has forged a successful career in front of and behind the camera, breaking through at just 12 years old in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver in 1976. Having worked in Hollywood since she was a young child, she's quick to point out that men abusing their power is not just a longstanding problem in the entertainment industry, but a conversation that should be had in all workplaces.

"It's every industry. It's not just one socioeconomic bracket or one complexion," Foster said. "Pretty much every man over 30 has to really look and start thinking about their part. And I guarantee, lots of it is unconscious. When you’ve been in a privileged position where you haven’t had to look at your part, you didn’t 100% understand you were in a bubble. It’s an interesting time for men.

"I have two sons (ages 16 and 19), and I know their perspective," she continued. "They go to a great school that has put them through the wringer about what consent is, what is humanism, what’s integrity. I just wish my generation had the benefit of that, and that everybody had the benefit of that."

Foster, 55, made her feature directorial debut with 1991's Little Man Tate, having since helmed episodes of Netflix's House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, and Julia Roberts' 2016 thriller Money Monster. While she believes that more women should be behind the scenes on set and at the studio level, she also stresses that it's not the end-all-be-all solution to eradicating sexual harassment.

"There’s more women in executive positions than you can imagine, so I don’t really think that changed anything," Foster said. "It didn’t even change women directors. There's still just as few women directors as when there (were) four studio heads that were women. That didn’t change anything, so I'm not sure.

"Maybe because I started making movies when there were no women, I saw how healthy it was when women came into the picture," she added. "When I’d go out on movie sets (before), it was like 175 guys in a small town. The second that they started normalizing and bringing women into the picture, which also brought children into the picture, then all of a sudden it wasn’t so unhealthy and people were happier. It didn’t feel like they were in some boot camp somewhere."

Ultimately, Foster hopes that the #MeToo movement will learn from the "mistakes and triumphs" of other social justice crusades, and that there will be "some kind of truth and reconciliation" in the aftermath.

"I’m looking forward to a new millennial woman that knows that she can say no," Foster said. "But honestly, I think what most women want is just for it to stop. They don’t really want to have a lawsuit, they don’t want to have to go on CBS This Morning 400 times. They'd actually just like it to stop and that'll be the good part."
