Apparently she lost out on roles for her Oscar speech. Does anyone know what they were? Did she say? If she's losing out, she has nothing more to lose in naming and shaming the execs and filmmakers who overlooked her as a consequence of her speech.
shareIt is an ideal and delusion you are living in and equality is not a gender thing, it is a class struggle and that includes both genders.Oh, I am as aware of the class/socio-economic divide and discrimination as much as anyone. I am a social-democrat and feel that the left, particularly in the US, but also the UK, has increasingly side-lined socio-economic justice and fairness, and that a liberal agenda, which focuses more on feminism, and civil and LGBT rights (all of which I nevertheless support), has been allowed to overshadow the marginalisation of the working and lower-middle-classes.
However, just because I feel so strongly about socio-economic unfairness, which has affected me on a personal level, it doesn't mean I can just ignore the on-going discrimination and unfairness that affects people on the basis of their gender, race and sexuality.
And whilst I may be a feminist, I am an intersectional-feminist who believes that feminism should be seen in the context of other forms of discrimination and unfairness based on identity, and that a wealthy woman may often be in more advantageous position to a poor man. That said, sexism still affects women of all classes, albeit not necessarily to the same extent, and even 'first-world' problems whereby wealthy women are placed at a disadvantage to wealthy men, should not be ignored. It's in all our interest to deal with sexism at any socio-economic level.
And trust me, I am no hard-line, unthinking liberal who is incapable of thinking for himself. There are plenty of instances where I've been accused of 'sexism' for questioning 'hard-line' feminists/civil rights campaigners, because whilst I am a liberal I think fairness, reasonableness and objectivity are more important than unquestioning solidarity.
