I have to jump in here, because as a childless woman, I too felt a tiny heart pang when she said it. I got past it after hearing her points as she continued. But that doesn't mean that for me it wasn't a moment of feeling outside the cause. If Arquette was making a point about everyone being on earth because of a

I will say that i did not like the bit at the beginning where she said we have fought for everyone else's equal rights, i am sorry no we haven't and i feel like this always happens with white feminism.

That's probably how she meant it, but I hate that rationale. You should respect women because a woman gave birth to you, a man? No. You should respect women because they are human beings.

FInally someone is speaking up for the rich, white, famous, privileged American female! What a blessing!

paid maternity leave is just another perk to women with working uteruses and the desire to have children. What we should have is paid leave for every person, the same amount per year, and they do with it what they want - whether that's having kids, having surgery, taking a break, etc, it should not matter, we should

Blow it out my ass because I have a problem with saying women deserve equal pay because they're mothers? With implying that women's worth comes from childbearing and not from their status as autonomous human beings? Okay.

maybe she meant it, maybe not. I have been discriminated against plenty for my desire to not reproduce (which has since become an impossibility) and PLENTY of women think you're not a real woman if you haven't popped out kids.

What about Shirley MacLaine's response? She was sitting directly behind Ethan Hawke and her joyous reaction is also priceless. I bet there were a lot of people in that audience who were like FUCK YEAH ARQUETTE.

To every woman who gave birth to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation, we have fought for everybody else's equal rights. It's our time to have wage equality once and for all, and equal rights for women in the United States of America.

THANK YOU!!! THAT PART WAS SO FUCKED UP!

"To every woman who hasn't given birth, here's another reminder that you don't matter!"

A-FUCKING-MAZING. (Especially after Jezebel called her drunk :/)

J. Lo: "Everyone!"

Amber Rose is white, though.

very little talent, i'd say. Its just that america puts a premium on entertainment and slides to the side, doctors (non cosmetic surgeons), teachers, public servants etc. The ppl who actually mean something in society. Can we live without entertainment,yes, would our live be better for it. Possible yes. Can we live

How is Wiz Khalifa waving his "misogynist banner"? By claiming he never cheated on Amber Rose, which is at least possible, or by stating that Rose is a bad mother, which is equally possible?

are people really taking Kanye's comments as an attack on black women, rather than a response to personal attacks against his family?

does Amber rose have Jezebel on payroll yet?

In the court of public opinion, none of these assholes is winning. These are fucking adults with families and children and at least some talent that allows them to make millions of dollars. At this point, I hope it is a publicity stunt, otherwise it is just ridiculous.

Indeed. I remember the police riot he led where he referred to Mayor Dinkins as a washroom attendant. One would have thought that this would be a clear indicator that the man was a bigoted POS; but he got elected twice anyway in what's supposed to be Liberal NYC.
