He openly admits that he was glad he didn’t have to compete with women for jobs back in the day. He’s basically upset that now he *does* have to compete with them. Eyeroll.

Exactly. Historically more qualified women or people of color were passed over for less qualified white men, AND it was more difficult for women and people of color to *become* qualified in the first place because they were always passed over.

I wonder if Hoffman will blame any of this on method acting.

Lazy troll is lazy.

WON’T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE POOR WHITE PEOPLE?!
