I hear you, but would a female relative newcomer who is currently bringing in the bank, e.g. Jennifer Lawrence, be paid less than a high profile Oscar winning male who has done less work in the same period? I am doubtful. Extremely doubtful.

Charlize Theron was going to get paid less than Chris Hemsworth?

Let's break down some arguments, sorry, "facts" laid down by our dear friend LocalSP, who is desperately trying to explain why it's okay that 87% of any particular job (entry-level or otherwise) goes to white men.

Well that was a particularly inept attempt at a derail. We're not making any "informed decisions" here, troll. We're discussing how white men are over-represented in an industry. There's nothing to decide. The statistics have spoken. Grasping the issue is apparently beyond you, since you don't seem to do logic, so…

USC Film School stats:

If there is anything more despicable and cowardly than this...grown men too pussy to go to their own deaths they have to send a baby to do their mass murder for them. I fucking hope there's a god and I fucking hope there's a hell and I fucking hope they burn in it forever

It's supposed to induce a hearty chuckle by others that your "call out" was pretty silly. When I refer to "Texas" here I refer to it in the sense of administration. As a legal entity controlled by the state government. This is fairly common. You're just making yourself look silly.

...uh, you do know I'm a Texan, right? You do know I went to school at UT and was a member of the capitol press corps? Oh, and I did my graduate work at another Texas university in government and political science? Uh huh. I thought not.

what would have granted them the opportunities to have advanced their profiles prior to obtaining a 'first-time director' gig? And what structures would privilege their interview responses?

You literally just jumped to the conclusion that white dudes are intrinsically better at being directors.

The jobs that white guy dominate are where the money is at. When they start letting women and POC in, that means the money is starting to dry up.

it's the same with book haram. The great majority of their victims are Muslim and they seem to exclusively attack Muslim areas. It's tough to deal with people hating u for being a Muslim when at the same time you are even more of a victim of the violence than they are. I have family members who have been victims of…

There are two wonderful things happening here in this story:

Exactly. The Muslim victims of these crimes are getting little to no attention by mainstream media here in the States. Basically social media is where I found out about the Muslim cop, the Muslim copy editor and the black female police officer that was killed.

What a wonderful courageous man he is. But bigots like Bill Maher and Rupert Madoch will ignore this fine gentleman because it contradicts their belief that good Muslims are scarce and not enough of them are denouncing terrorists.

She's just unhinging her jaw to eat, then replace Brian Williams.

Don't be willfully obtuse. The linked article, not the summary above. Just because the daughter posted pics of her and her mother online doesn't mean that she was okay or "happy" with what her friend did. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2…

"To automatically to be lumped into that category of a gang... that hits a little close to home for us, because that isn't our intent at all," Strobl said.

Feminist Tease, they will never change their perspective but waste your time with implying you might change their mind. Your reason and experience are never legitimate to his gut feelings (privilege). Additionally, him wasting your time gives him more validity because he "listened" to an outside opinion. Blerg.

I definitely dated the Radical Feminist (hi, A.) and almost married him, too. But this one...this motherfucker right here is the absolute worst:
