You’re disgusting.

As opposed to living how they are, which is not a death sentence? Obviously the orcas would choose to die in the wild, if they could make the decision. Besides, sea pens are still a form of captivity. Take them home and let nature take its course. It’s not humans’ job to dictate other species’ fates.

Lots of orcas have adapted successfully. You’re ignoring the evidence to be contradictory.

Actually, several orcas have been successfully re-wilded.

I agree with you about the abstraction thing. I think though that sometimes actresses say shit off the cuff that they haven’t thought through, and hammering home every single line they utter is confusing “actress” with “spokesperson”.

SUCH a thing. Men get raises and promotions, women get pats on the head and a few nice words.

Um NO. I’m concerned about respect, and I get paid minimum wage. Respect also translates into shooting 30 takes instead of 90, into not being groped by producers and assistant directors, into being heard on set and keeping lines you ad-lib. If you’re doing something as physical as acting is, respect means being…

I think that Sarandon linking respect with earning power makes sense, though. Women are paid less, and less respected, and our work is less valued, period. Hammering away at one component might change the others.

Most women don’t have to put up with half the crap actresses legally do, either.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to demand actresses be more “woke” than most other people, just because they’re wealthy. Not everyone’s a Sociology major, or understands systemic oppression. I think requiring that anyone who wants to speak out about any form of oppression must first recognize their own privilege [which…

Yep

This is so true.

Also, she will have every single marginalized identity in one, so no one can ever accuse her of failing to recognize the whomevers.

WORD.

Do we have to get so cynical, here? I mean, my individuality in the professional world is also constructed. We all do that, in order to survive. Let’s not attack some people because they happen to be doing it more successfully than us.

WORD. I feel like Jezebel recently thinks they’ve got the monopoly on how feminism “should” be practiced. I also think it’s really bitter to just label any rich white woman who tries to do anything that seems vaguely feminist as “not doing it well enough.” I don’t think Lawrence was trying to deliberately, like, start…

Yep.

That is so totally true. I just applied for a promotion I was fully qualified for. Although I really support the person who got the promotion, I’ve been way more involved in all aspects of the company than he has. However, I pushed against some of the misogyny and racist shit happening in the workplace just prior to…
