Hollywood sexism

Zoe Kazan:

>Earlier this week, “The Big Sick” star spoke to The Guardian about her experiences with sexism in the industry. The long-time actress and writer got honest about her experiences, and how they differ from the experiences of her longtime partner, actor Paul Dano.

>“There’s so much sexual harassment on set,” she told the outlet. “And there’s no HR department, right? We don’t have a redress. We have our union, but no one ever resorts to that, because you don’t want to get a reputation for being difficult. I’ve told Paul about stuff that has happened on set and it’s almost as if he can’t take it in. It’s too upsetting. And he’s never had to deal with that once.”

>She added, “I have a lot of girlfriends who are amazing actors, and many times we’ve talked about having to go into a room and give ‘blowjob eyes.’ You know, be flirty with a director or a producer…Or there’ll be auditions where they’ll say, ‘Wear something body-conscious’ and then you’re aware that they’re checking out your body. You leave the situation feeling not good about what just happened, but you don’t really have the language for why.”

Elisabeth Moss:

>“The Handmaid’s Tale” actress has been particularly vocal over the last few months when it comes to her latest project, a Hulu adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s seminal novel that imagines a future where women have been stripped of their rights. In a recent interview with Metro, Moss opened up about two examples of sexism she’s seen during her career, including both pay inequality and a lack of interest in stories deemed “too female” by executive brass.

>“My one big thing is women don’t make as much as men. I’m sure, I know, I’m 100 per cent positive I’ve been a victim of that,” she told the outlet. “The other thing I have experienced is in pitching something that is female led. I have been told something is too female by executives. It was everything, the fact it was a female lead, a female protagonist, was led by a woman, made it too female, which I was shocked by.

>But the tide might be turning, and Moss added, “This was recent, in the last couple of years, and it’s shocking to me to hear that, that is almost illegal to say. It wasn’t said to my face, I would dare a male executive to say that to my face now.”

>need to give blowjob eyes

Sure

Lena Headey:

>In a recent interview with Net-A-Porter Magazine, conducted by her “Game of Thrones” co-star Maisie Williams, the British actress got honest about her early experiences in the industry.

>“When I was in my twenties, and doing a lot of audition tapes in the States, a casting director told me: ‘The men take these tapes home and watch them and say, ‘Who would you f***?,'” she said. “I’ve never played the game of going in [to auditions] and flirting; I’ve never done it.”

>Headey also added that, while she believes it’s entirely possible that her reticence to flirt her way into a gig probably prevented her from getting certain parts, “I’m very happy I didn’t.”

>gets getting molested in hollywood
>"I had to make a face at an audition, boo hoo"

Emma Stone:

>The Oscar winner and “Battle of the Sexes” star recently told Out Magazine that a number of her male co-stars have taken lower salaries in order to match her own. “In my career so far, I’ve needed my male co-stars to take a pay cut so that I may have parity with them,” she said.

>Stone didn’t name names, but she did add, “That’s something they do for me because they feel it’s what’s right and fair. That’s something that’s also not discussed, necessarily—that our getting equal pay is going to require people to selflessly say, ‘That’s what’s fair.’ If my male co-star, who has a higher quote than me but believes we are equal, takes a pay cut so that I can match him, that changes my quote in the future and changes my life.”

Kate Miller:

>The mixed media artist and performer, who goes by the name RosePetalPistol when working, recently penned a new essay for Refinery 29 about her experience juggling her own professional notoriety with a personal attachment — she happens to be actor T.J. Miller’s wife, and she’s sick of being constantly referred to as such.

>“Last month, an ironic (and since updated) New York Post headline about my art installation went viral: ‘T.J. Miller’s wife is making a name for herself in New York,'” Miller wrote for the outlet. “While I know that it was meant it to be flattering — and I was flattered by the coverage — not everyone on Twitter took it that way. Suddenly tens of thousands of retweets, likes, and comments turned into hundreds of thousands. Many people didn’t appreciate the irony and saw it as an opportunity to start a meaningful dialogue about feminism.”

>Miller was understandably heartened by the response, and her essay addresses some of the other issues raised by her experience with, not just the Post headline, but other outlets that freely refer to her only as “T.J. Miller’s wife,” and how she marries her feminist beliefs with taking on his last name.

>She added, “I never felt qualified to speak about this as an authority. But I was wrong. I am qualified because I am a woman; I have the experience of being a wife; and I’ve had many experiences throughout my life where I’ve been pushed aside (often literally) like so many others, and defined by society only in relationship to my significant other.”

>there are women showing up to town halls and other protest dressed as handmaids

Really wish I started selling that outfit months ago. Could've thrown up a shitty website quick, sourced the shit from china and made a nice buck off of idiots.

>As “The X-Files” gears up for yet another revival season, the beloved sci-fi series recently made waves when its long-running pattern of inequality behind the camera was revealed. Last month, the Season 11 writers’ room was announced, it includes only men — Darin Morgan, Glen Morgan, James Wong, Gabe Rotter, Benjamin Van Allen and Brad Follmer — which prompted backlash from both the industry at large and and from its own star Anderson.

>In a series of tweets, Anderson quoted a story about the all-male writers’ room, while also adding that only two of the series’ 207 episodes have been directed by women. Anderson herself directed one of those episodes, and she’s eager for further change to take hold on the series. “I took look forward to the day when the numbers are different,” she wrote.

>actress pay inequality

They seriously need to fuck off with this bullshit

classic

I don't get it because no one is getting paid the same in acting.
It depends if you have the lead role, if you're a draw, if you have a good agent...

Michelle Rodriguez:

>“Fast and Furious” franchise star Rodriguez also took to her own social media to call out the series for its lack of love for its female stars, going so far as to hint that she might leave the billion dollar series if they don’t shape up when it comes to its leading ladies and their storylines.

>In a post from earlier this month, Rodriguez wrote, “I hope they decide to show some love to the women of the franchise on the next one. Or I just might have to say goodbye to a loved franchise. It’s been a good ride & Im grateful for the opportunity the fans & studio have provided over the years.”

>Rodriguez wasn’t wrong about the franchise’s lack of love for its female stars, including supporting characters like Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster), Gisele Yashar (Gal Gadot), and Elena Neves (Elsa Pataky), who seem to mainly exist to round out the storylines of the films’ male characters, often as love interests who occasionally come along for the ride, and her post drew some necessary attention to a long-simmering issue that the franchise will likely need to address.

>I’ve needed my male co-stars to take a pay cut so that I may have parity with them

WOW who could be behind such a thing?

I wonder if the men are getting more points then her, thus why they are ok with taking a straight pay cut

>ywn be a hollywood casting supervisor
wel

Rose McGowan:

>The outspoken actress and director can always be counted on to sound off on the industry’s more insidious side. Just last October, she wrote a personal and very powerful open letter to Hollywood and to the “woman and men in the entertainment,” urging them to not work with offenders and to “take a stand” against sexual assault — and a recently released excerpt from her upcoming autobiography delivers that message in still more succinct terms.

>Over at i-D, McGowan shared part of her book, due out in January, which explains why she views shaving her head as the ultimate feminist battle cry after years of maintaining the kind of locks that Hollywood deemed most attractive.

>“I was literally told I had to have long hair otherwise the men doing the hiring in Hollywood wouldn’t want to fuck me and if they didn’t want to fuck me, they wouldn’t hire me,” McGowan wrote. “I was told this by my female agent, which is tragic on many levels. So, so evil and so, so sad. Evil because I took the information from an older woman who was the mouthpiece for what Hollywood wants, and she was right. Sad because it wasn’t just the message that gets filtered down to women and girls, I got the direct message.”

>She added, “All of the suggestive messaging/imaging that we as women get from TV, film, media and advertising tells us to have long hair so we too can be sexy, but we on the other side of the camera get it told to us directly, like a hotline phone call directly from what ‘the man’ wants. Well, fuck Hollywood. Fuck the messaging. Fuck the propaganda. Fuck the stereotypes.”

>And that’s just a taste of what McGowan will be serving up in “Brave.”

>I’ve told Paul about stuff that has happened on set and it’s almost as if he can’t take it in. It’s too upsetting.

Translation: he pretends to listen until she stops talking.

Emmy Rossum:

>Recent Rossum stories have offered up both horrifying accounts of Hollywood’s expectations of its female stars, and a hell of a lot of hope when it comes to issues like pay equality. Last year, the actress made waves for holding out for more pay on her Showtime hit “Shameless,” a decision that ultimately paid out (literally). Still, Rossum’s battle was partially possible because her costar, William H. Macy, made it a point to support her endeavor. Without Macy batting on her side, it’s unclear if Showtime would have ponied up more cash for the star of their show.

>Elsewhere, Rossum sounded off during a recent Hollywood Reporter roundtable about her experience with overt sexism in the industry.

>“I’ve never been in a situation where somebody asked me to do something really obviously physical in exchange for [a job], like a pay-to-play kind of situation,” Rossum said. “But even as recently as a year ago, my agent called me and was like, ‘I’m so embarrassed to make this call, but there’s a big movie and they’re going to offer it to you. They really love your work on [‘Shameless’]. But the director wants you to come into his office in a bikini. There’s no audition. That’s all you have to do.'”

>And, no, the project didn’t require the chosen actress to wear a bikini at any point during the film itself. Rossum didn’t do it.

I don't like women, so I don't really care.

Based Paul Dano!

>I give blowjob eyes to everyone
>help, help, I'm being sexually harassed!

>women

Alison Brie:

>The “GLOW” star recently made waves when she opened up a particularly skeezy audition she went on early in her career that relied way more on how she looked than how she read her lines.

>Of sexism in the industry, particularly during the audition process, Brie admitted to E! News, “It has not changed that much. The audition process has not changed that much. Early in my career, I auditioned for three lines on an episode of ‘Entourage’ that I had to go on in a bikini. Or like shorts and the tiniest shorts. And they were like, ‘Okay, can you take your top off now?’”

>Though Brie later clarified that she wore her bikini under her shirt and was not asked to go totally topless, her earlier comments about how the process has not changed still deserve attention.

Will someone PLEASE think about these rich and famous celebrities!

Jessica Chastain:

>While this year’s Cannes Film Festival featured a number of exciting offerings from female directors and female stars — including a historic win for Sofia Coppola’s work on “The Beguiled” — even the festival’s own competition jury felt the need to take some of their choices to task, and at an official press conference no less. Chastain, who has long been outspoken about her problems with the sexism of Hollywood, sounded off on the subject back in May after the jury handed out their honors.

>“I do believe that if you have more female storytellers, you also have more authentic female characters,” she said. “The one thing I really took away from this experience is how the world views women. From the female characters that I saw represented. And it was quite disturbing to me, to be honest. There are some exceptions, I will say. But for the most part I was surprised with the representation of female characters on screen in these films.”

>Later, the actress shared her take on a pair of competition films she did enjoy, including “Okja” and “The Beguiled.” She wrote on Twitter, “The Beguiled takes a typical male fantasy and changes it up. The power is with the women in this remake” and “Okja!!! As a vegan its impossible for me to be objective about this film. I [love] it. Had me in tears.”

>so classic even him pretending to listen is a captivating performance

Remember when this dumb aging cunt dated Marilyn Manson and showed up to an event virtually naked?

i dont get this one she is a literal who
some what understandable
this is actual power tripping
>dresses like a slag
>is actually pure

/our gal/

shes probably still a slut though

Men facing adversity in the workplace
>guess I need to step up
>maybe I should try a new angle
>what can I do to improve my value?

Women facing adversity
>starts crying
>SEXISM

Lena is famous for fucking everyone on set.

So men are cucks who should just take the dick up their ass in silence?

if she is that whorish why did she make them do CGI nude for that walk scene?

So Andre Garfield has to be one of them who took a pay cut, seeing as they were together for ASM, right?

Why should the lead actor in a film named after the character he's playing have to take a pay cut?

Literally the most privileged societal group in the entire existence of humanity and life is still too tough for them.

To be fair this is largely societies fault for pushing women to believe they're more than just eye candy in a film. There are a handful of talented actresses but most of them are just sexy and can memorize lines better than the rest. 9/10 actresses are 100% replaceable.

>people are cast for their looks in a visual medium
like a shoah of rape!

Yes?

>blowjob eyes
I can't imagine such filth, s-such leeewd words coming out of her pure lips.
Her 'amazing actor-girlfriends' are having a bad influence on Zoe.

white-knight.jpg

Girls do this in every facet of life

Because she was pregnant

>the star of their show
That's William H Macy though. Nobody's tuning into Shameless for Fiona. Well maybe they're tuning in for certain parts of Fiona.

Whooooosh

Serious question. Does anyone find this frog faced uggo bitch attractive? I'd absolutely tell her to fuck off if she came onto me irl

Me too, she will never a piece of this handsome stud.

Same here, I can't stand her smug amphibian face.

I find her attractive...

Weird that one of these people are good actresses.

Really lubes your lobes.

Hey now she was the female lead of the dragon ball live action movie!

what the fuck has William H Macy done???

she's got loads of tattoos dude, come on

Y-yeah

This is voluntarily choosing not to get any work. How is it surprising or wrong that directors want female characters that look like 95% of the female population?

Nothing really wrong with this. At the start of the show Macy brought the star power. By the time of this negotiation, Emmy was indispensable to the show as well and was in a position of power. She negotiated for more money. More women in Hollywood should do this instead of just crying about it.

She's fucking nuts. Instead of negotiating for more money or hiring a better agent she shames co-stars into taking less money? If I'm a Hollywood star I avoid any films in which she is a lead.

She was getting paid less because she can't act well not because she's a female.

SHOW THE PIT HAIR

Female actors simply tend to not be as good as male.

Nor do they do the same work in the same role as their male counterpart; simply due to muscle mass.

Deal with it, roasties.

shes already getting old woman skin, stay out of the sun girl

She IS an old woman

Still waiting for you to post feedback from a GOOD actress, OP.
You know, the ones talented enough to not need to resort to flirting/sleeping with directors for roles.

>PD walks in on gf with another man
>I NEED TO DO THIS BECAUSE OF THE PATRIARCHY!!!

The premise of the handmaid's tale sounds good, but it has high potential to go full SJW and act like we already live in a society like that.
Any opinions from those who have already watched it?

>Be 20 year old American Girl
>Have no acting ability or training, drop out from Liberal Arts degree
>Because of no talent suck Jewish Dick and ride the casting couch to land any roles
>Realise at age 30 you are used up
>Why is Hollywood so sexist?

Meanwhile in UK people attend Royal Shakespear Acting schools and scoop up parts.

Tbh, this one is pretty understandable, but Vin Diesel and the rest of the testosterone packed crew are the main draws for the franchise. I wouldn't mind more female screentime and whatnot though.

That's like saying men should have more screentime in Princess Diaries, The Devil Wears Prada, Sex and the City or whatever shit women like to watch

If any of those movies were part of a franchise with 8 films under its belt, and more to come, then sure. We're talking about a brainless movie series that's already being milked for all it's worth, going in all kinds of retarded directions, but still following a pretty basic formula. Diversity shit aside, more female screentime could be a breath of fresh air.

>no stories of overt casting couching

boner lost

DUDE WOMEN ARE BAD LMAO

I'm confused. I thought men were supposed to
the bad gender. Do you mean to tell me everybody is a horrible person?

>implying any of them would admit anything even if they did something like that

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN

Bitch.

>still won't name names
this is why it will never stop

white women complaining? you don't fucking say

>getting mad at all men when they're really mad about producers

you know what all the producers have in common? Follow the nose.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead:

>For some bagging that first big role in a Hollywood studio film is a dream come true, but for Mary Elizabeth Winstead it was also kind of a nightmare. Winstead found the behavior of the director too creepy for her taste, but didn't complain because she didn't want to get a reputation for being difficult to work with.

>"He was very professional during my audition, the whole casting process went well, and I was very excited about working on the film. But during the shoot he suddenly started acting creepy, and it just got worse and worse as the shoot went on. He would barge into my trailer while I was half-naked, he would show me pictures of his daughter and gush about how hot he thought she was, and he always took the opportunity to touch my body while directing me. Once I caught him sniffing my wardrobe on a lunch break."

>To make matters more complicated, the director in question was at the time married to an A-list actress.

If these cunts think there's a problem now, wait until the kikes REALLY start pandering the the Chinese. They love beautiful young feminine whites almost as much as they like car chases and giant robots.

If the gooks can't save us, I'm putting my faith in the muds. Can't wait for the stonings!

Maybe they should start their own movie studio.

She's part of the original cast, and she's an actual dyke with plenty of action movie roles under her belt. All the other bandwagoning bimbos can suck a dick.

If there's one thing females are better than men in general is acting. You probably don't know the great actresses.

>would def couch test this hottie

Classic Kazan

How can one man be so classic

>If there's one thing females are better than men in general is acting.
wrong

Imagine having such an easy life that this was something that you felt was a serious issue.

Huppert

>not better than any men

ALL OF THESE WHORES ARE THE FUCKING SAME!!! THEY WANT FAME AND FORTUNE BUT AREN'T WILLING TO WORK FOR IT BEYOND GETTING OFF THEIR FAT ASSES AND READING LINES!!! FUCK YOU, YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE UP YOUR MOUTH/CUNT/ASSHOLE OTHERWISE THERE'S 10K MORE SLUTS THAT ARE YOUNGER AND PROBABLY MORE TALENTED AT ACTING/SUCKING COCK THAN YOU ARE!!! IT'S A MANS WORLD BECAUSE WE BUILT IT YOU FUCKING SLAGS NOW FACE DOWN, ASS UP BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY CASTING COUCH SKANKS GET FUCKED!!!FACT!!!

some of these actresses are complaining about lack of female writers or wanting more screen-time for female characters.

which is different from saying they had to kiss ass literally and figuratively to get roles.

>“There’s so much sexual harassment on set. And there’s no HR department, right? We don’t have a redress. We have our union, but no one ever resorts to that, because you don’t want to get a reputation for being difficult,” says Kazan, who for contrast adds that her longtime boyfriend, Paul Dano, has “never had to deal with that once.”
Classic.

>because you don’t want to get a reputation for being difficult


I wonder if this is what happened to Katherine heigel.

THEY'RE ALWAYS BITCHING BECAUSE THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND THEM 24/7/365!!! FUCK OFF!!!FACT!!!

Shameless is Fiona's story above all. Frank is great - due to Macy, but if he died nothing would really change.

if they are not the characters or writers in question,it's not really about them directly.They are just pointing it out.

whos is the guy?

And that's how you end a "career"

>Okja!!! As a vegan its impossible for me to be objective about this film. I [love] it. Had me in tears.”

Missed the fucking point

what was the point?

Len Wiseman?

He was married to Kate Beckinsale although I don't think she was ever A-list.

mass farming is bad.

With all this equal pay memes and women being treating like shit going why the producers and executives responding to this? Aren't they making it worse by being quiet?

they know they have the power because they create the content,actors are replaceable tools to them.

How will you know if the farming went well unless the crops are weighed at the end of the day?

Stone plays the same character in everything. She acts the same and has a shit tier face.
