“You’re asking me that?” she responded during the jury press conference today. “I’m sorry, I don’t understand the correlation or why me specifically.”

I'm glad she said that bc people continue to treat that type of question as natural/mundane when the only point of those is to make women uncomfortable by assigning them some sort of obligation over the mistakes of men, including those they might not even know.

Yeah. I think Brie specifically as well, who has been the subject of years of global harassment, has valid reasons to not want to put herself in the crosshairs of the Deppford wives

Women always have to bear the responsibility to comment about this stuff and it's so unfair

[trekkiepetrelli]

regarding the THR roundtable when they were asked about pay, Amy Adams immediately starting saying along the lines of 'they always ask us this question and put us in this awkward position when they should be asking the producers these questions' i was so proud of her for that bc it's so spot on. the men are NEVER asked the questions that need answers

i don't like her, but do they fucking ask the men that? No, of course not.

... but people are doing that already by saying that they hope she doesn't see it - implying that if she DOES see it, she'll somehow bear some kind of responsibility?

People should be allowed to see a movie involving somebody that they don't personally like or support.
