In what way is your opinion not on one extreme of a social issue? It would appear that you dismissed everything Ms. Lawrence had to say. What's moderate and thoughtful about your opinion of this article? Please show your work.

Ha! I have to say, my natural and insufficiently demure arrogance is going into overdrive at this stage.

I enjoy baseless arrogance the way other people enjoy pro wrestling, so by all means continue.

I actually came in with low expectations of the content of the article and instead found it really refreshing and intelligent and honest, so yeah, a lot of the comments are completely missing her point and are bumming me out.

I said this below but this isn't really about absolute dollar amounts or even equal pay for equal work. It's about ALL women knowing their worth in the marketplace. In my modest industry I'm a relatively powerful and well-paid professional who is almost old enough to be Jennifer Lawrence's mother and who will never…

Bitches always be bitching!

Yes. I'd speculate that the actual sums are not particularly important to her. It's the principle of the thing, and what it has revealed to her about everyone involved, including herself.

Excellent point.

I felt like I had absolutely met that guy. I definitely know that dude. It was a great performance.

Also: I find the idea of equal pay for equal work obviously just and desirable. But in the private sector, "equal work" can be very challenging to define, and salaries are negotiable. So basically, the reason it actually is very important for women - all women, including mega-star Jennifer Lawrence - to simply talk…

Every single thing she's saying here is relatable in almost any industry. It really doesn't matter that in this particular case we're talking about absurd, astronomical sums. The principles all ring true.

Every word of this is like a gleaming gemstone.

How exactly does Burress not come off well? He can say whatever the fuck he wants. This information was in the public domain for years. Is it disturbing that it took a man to make people focus on these horrifying crimes against women? Yes, of course it is. But that's not Hannibal's fault.

This looks entertaining.

I still remember him being an absolute prick to Wanda Sykes at the Emmys years ago - she was trying to do a bit with him in the audience, and he told her "on my show, we spoke English." I felt such intense hatred for him at that moment… I really don't think he's ever hidden his assholery, I just think people have been…

On the one hand it sucks that his colleagues from a hundred years ago are dragged into this at all, especially since they no doubt have many warm and grateful feelings toward him. On the other hand I thought Cosby was an asshole to Lisa Bonet a hundred years ago, so my feelings toward him have been chilly for a good…

Okay, here’s a funny story, although a lot of it is my intonation.

I'm glad we continue to mention Hannibal in every article about every show that isn't Hannibal. It's a balm to my grief.

In the smaller version of this pic on the home page, I thought Jack Black was Tom Arnold.

To Die For is incredible.
