Why Julia Stiles Chased Down 'Hustlers' Role

She comes off like a misandrist here.

The group mostly targeted Wall Street guys who they deemed responsible for the 2008 financial crisis, and Elizabeth eventually said that she didn't feel bad for these particular men that were taken. Do you feel sorry for those men, specifically the Wall Street crowd?

I think Lorene handled it really well and with nuance because you do meet Doug, who’s an otherwise good guy. He’s the outlier where he didn’t really deserve to have what happened to him, but for the most part, when you say “Wall Street guys,” I think of the ones who were throwing trash at them in the champagne room. That line really stuck out to me and resonated where she just says it point blank, “I don’t really feel bad for them. It’s just a taste of your own medicine.” So, yeah, when I think of the ones who were objectifying them, treating them like dirt, manipulating them and taking advantage of them — I, in many ways, see it like it was just a business transaction. (Laughs.)

She seems pretty humble and it's good to see that Hollywood hasn't really rubbed off on her in a big way, just going by what's written here. However, after reading, I still don't know why she chased down the role, so the article title is misleading.
