(55,523 posts)I don't think you have a clear sense of how rich some of the financial elite are. Hollywood money is pocket change to them.
Hollywood is about entertainment. They don't control the economy, nor do they set the terms that lead to income inequality in the rest of the country. More importantly, the problem is not rich people but the system that promotes income inequality. Hollywood doesn't figure into that situation because their industry doesn't impact wages in the rest of the country. Also, you seem intent on ignoring the point about women being paid less. That is very much true in Hollywood, like elsewhere. She didn't talk about income inequality generally, she talked about women being exploited, being paid less than men. You seem to consider that so inconsequential, you feel entitled to make this discussion about what you want to talk about, in a safe haven group on feminism no less. Even disregarding that, your entire approach to income inequality is self defeating. People with money are the ones with access to the media. If you don't want rich people talking about income inequality in the media, that means it won't be discussed at all.
