Emilia Clarke is calling for equality. 

The famous leading lady of HBO's Game of Thrones has garnered countless accolades and attention for her breakout role as Daenerys Targaryen. However, some of the attention has her shaking her head. 

"I feel like there is a little bit of inequality between the amount of nudity that happens with women—this woman in particular," she told James Corden while appearing on The Late Late Show.

While Clarke's character has been depicted in the nude since the series' earliest episodes, she claims her male counterparts haven't faced the same fate. 

"I think it should be even," she declared, encouraging all of her fellow characters to strip down.

Corden wasn't too keen on the idea. 

"I feel like penises are so disgusting," he told the trio of ladies. 

Clarke didn't find that to be an adequate excuse. 

"Do you enjoy looking at ours?" she asked. "It's not pretty. Sorry!"

Finally, she proposed a social media-friendly solution. 

"Free the penis," she said simply. Just like that, #FreeTheP was born.
