The "Room" star says women need to be careful before interacting with strangers.
"I merely smiled at a TSA agent and he asked for my phone number. To live life as a woman is to live life on the defence," Larson tweeted.
The actress received criticism for the tweet, with one person replying, "OH NO! A guy asked for your number. You poor thing. Women be complaining they don't find a good guy, but complain when dudes ask for their #."
The star quickly responded writing back, "You do realise you're blaming me for a situation I did not ask to be in? A situation that made me uncomfortable?"
The Oscar winner also tweeted her support to all women who have been sexually harassed.
"As always, I stand with the brave survivors of sexual assault and harassment. It's not your fault. I believe you," she tweeted.
