Ummmm so here’s some misogyny. If that was a woman those nipples would be covered up! But because , “oh that’s just a dude with breasts?” We get to look at them.

My best guess is Nick Denton read the comments at Gizmodo, yelled, “I have a fucking website filled with fucking conspiracy nutbags!” and panicked because he thought that heard Hulk Hogan outside.

I love this story. It represents so much of what I feel as a feminist.

WHY ARE YOU SHOWING THAT GIF? HAVE YOU NO DECENCY?

Not that this is for anyone’s benefit but my own, but going one step further: I’m married to a woman who works in film, on the technical side, in an area that is incredibly sexist and at a level (for now) that is very far from Hollywood wealth and movie-star privilege. She struggles to get the kinds of breaks that…

I think this frustration applies to both the wage gap and the economy in general. When Baby boomers complain about how lazy we are or how they worked through school, I almost have a rage stroke.

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…

The whole “fight harder” thing is really inappropriate. They have people to do it for them. And when I am fighting, face-to-face with an employer, to be the person they pick for an office job it certainly does not benefit me to “fight harder.” Be it for an extra dollar an hour or healthcare (non-existent from my very…

No, it won’t. It will be lead by a great goddess born of falling-star fire and glacial waters. Whose fierce femininity and righteous power will quake the world asunder, allowing precious metals from the Earth’s core to flow freely into the stylish pocketbooks and handbags of women all over. She, the Unnamed, will…

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.

You are. Apparently you must start at the absolute bottom of the privilege scale, or your efforts aren’ valid. In general though, women’s efforts aren’t valid.

Susan Sarandon gets paid a shit-ton of money. Ergo, she should just sit down, shut up, and accept that she gets paid significantly less than fellow male actors, so as to not offend the poors.

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.

I’ve never been comfortable with the fiction that the reason women don’t make enough is that they don’t negotiate well. There is a god awful deoderant commercial that seems to reinforce this belief as well.

You keep using trickle down like you know what it means. Susan Sarandon is not the government; she is an actress. She’s not obligated to speak on anyone else’s behalf. Her speaking is not preventing low income women from speaking.

The question about valuing Lawrence’s work was quasi-rhetorical, but the answer is obvious: nothing. Lawrence’s value says absolutely nothing about how we value any woman’s work. It speaks only to how we value Jennifer Lawrence.

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?

Shots fired!

That’s the point of Sploid. Like how the point of io9 is to give Gizmodo 90% of its posts.

All these responses are what's wrong with the Internet
