I sincerely apologize for giving the wrong impression but a message board is a poor substitute for conversation.
First and foremost, I am slightly offended at the presumption with respect to my feelings on income inequality for women in the movie or any other industry. My whole rant was about income inequality, so how we got from millionaires being a poor spokesperson for income inequality to me feeling that fair pay for women is "inconsequential" is a significant intellectual leap.
Secondly, if you don't realize that the entertainment industry has had a huge impact on the perception of wealth and how it shapes how people measure their own self worth and how entertainers create false expectations from everything from body type to living standards than you have not been paying attention the last 50 years.
lastly, I could not disagree more in advocating for the wealthy as a spokesperson for income inequality. one voice is a start. 10,000 voices is better. One million voices is a foundation for real change. No movie star(s) is ever going to effect real change. People effect real change.
I appreciate the exchange is and please except my apologies as I was not attempting to hijack the thread only to make a broader point on a very important subject.
