[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it humorous to hear a speech on wage equality come from a person who makes millions.  [/quote]

Are you under the impression that female actresses are paid equally to their male counterparts?

You might want to go back and look through some of the hacked Sony documents.[/quote]

Actors whether male or female are paid for their box office draw.  Patricia Arquette could never carry a film like Benedict Cumverbatch does and would be paid accordingly.   That said, I don't think she was referring solely to Hollywood but to jobs where[b] the difference between $80 an hour and $90 an hour is significant [/b]rather than the difference between $1 million for a film versus $1.2 million.    [/quote]

Give me a break. I'm not marching in the streets for people who make $80 an hour either.

I like Patricia Arquette, but the speech left me cold. I do not give a flying f*ck that Jennifer Lawrence isn't paid what her male co-stars are--it's a travesty that actors are paid that rate to begin with. Meanwhile, childcare worker wages aren't enough to survive on. [/quote]
