Patricia Clarkson has heard enough from her whining male peers.

“There are still so many movies made starring 50 men and one woman,” the “Learning to Drive” actress told The Guardian. “A white male actor should never be allowed to complain about anything. Shut up and sit in the corner. I mean, seriously.”

Among the gents the 56-year-old screen vet believes should keep his mouth shut: Kit Harington. Upon hearing the “Game of Thrones” star said it’s “demeaning” to call him a hunk, Clarkson had a few choice words.

“He’s a sex symbol. Get over it,” she said. “You have an amazing career and you’re on a hot show. Take your shirt off.”

While sexism continues to be an ongoing issue in Hollywood, Clarkson also chimed in on the backlash surrounding the all-female “Ghostbusters” reboot.

“The odds of having films made which star women… Everyone still references one movie: ‘Bridesmaids!’ ‘Ghostbusters’ is a great thing and I love these actresses,” Clarkson shared.

And though the film embraces female empowerment, Clarkson recalled a time where the limelight cast a dark cloud on actresses behind the scenes.

“When I was younger, of course I had people act inappropriately to me. I’ve had certain directors yell at me. But I didn’t stand for it and I didn’t let it go far enough for it to be in any way abusive to me,” Clarkson said. “People didn’t speak up as much as they do now. Women have risen. But we’re still underpaid and we’re still a vast minority in this business.”
