That’s one teeny, tiny good thing that has come out of the election. I think a lot of men thought misogyny either was nonexistent or very limited. Reasonable men are now seeing the extent and scope of the problem.

I think the sheer amount of BS she’s had to endure for the past 30 years, let alone just for this election cycle, was more than enough good reason to vote for her.... anyone with that kind of stamina and fortitude, deserves the fucking job. The job requires being able to handle abuse being flung at you constantly 24/7…

My respect for Clinton runs deep in terms of all the B.S. she’s have to endured this election cycle. She’s not just running against one guy, she’s running against a huge hate machine. And, she’s handled herself with more grace than I certainly could given the idiots and hate she’s had to endure. There aren’t many…

The issue is not comedians including opinions in their acts. It’s the opinions themselves that everyone’s reacting to. No hypocrisy there.

Once this election is over, I hope someone will do a study to find out how much depression, suicide, and substance abuse has gone up as a result of all this madness.

The white males I know who are supporting Hillary are legit allies I’ve noticed. It warms my cold, “neoliberal” heart.

“but they need to start talking about solutions that get at the root of the problem if they want to help women in other industries”

Right ?! Ehhhh, I dunno, I agree with some of this.( And definitely feminism needs to keep checking its privilege because it’s not just a movement for white middle class women) But... well I’d rather they be talking about this than not. They have a massive platform and to talk about the wage gap is IMO a great thing…

Thank you. While I do think it’s important to discuss misogyny and inequality in the entertainment industry, Jennifer Lawrence and her experience is absolutely no comparison to every female in my actual life. I’m so glad this is being discussed. I have worked in recruiting and HR in the past. Women fighting for extra…

As much shit as Patricia Arquette received for her speech, the message that men need to stand up for women’s issues isn’t incorrect. Why aren’t any male actors speaking out about wage equality among their own peers? This applies to men throughout the economic scale: men at each level must be speaking up on behalf of…

Maybe, if we’re really lucky, it might inspire men (and women, because women internalize this and do it, too) to start offering women the same pay as men to begin with?

(And also maybe I will win the lottery without even having to buy a ticket.)

And maybe it will help other women in the industry who work behind the scenes.

Making it part of the conversation might help normalize it, and inspire women to start speaking up for themselves in whichever industry or career they happen to be in.

I disagree with equating actresses pushing for equal pay as a step that will help working women get equal pay. But, actresses speaking up addresses the misogynistic culture of the entertainment industry. That is a real problem that needs to be addressed.

Why not? They are the ones who have the least to lose. Or do you suggest that women working minimum wage jobs should be the ones who put their source of income at risk for speaking up?

Yeah, that interview - I’m for Hillary, but I’ve always said I like Bernie and support his ideas. After that interview, as someone who works with bankers, I lost all faith in his ability to change or even fully understand our current financial system. Bankers are smart - unless you have some ironclad legislation…

No, it’s not. He needs to say something without a negative conjunction at the end of it.

it goes without saying that I condemn any and all forms of violence, including the personal harassment of individuals. But
