Female actors earn 45% less, and 71% of the gap may be gender-related

  • It seems that they user wrong measure.

    > New York Times rank of importance in a film; the number of Academy Awards earned;

    I don't understand how these quality attributes should not matter. Only the film budget and box office revenue matter for pay in movie industry.

  • First line: Audiences were furious to hear that Michelle Williams was paid eight times less than Mark Wahlberg.

    I know who Mark Wahlberg is. I've seen his movies, listened to his music 20 years ago! I like the movies I've seen him in and am more likely to see a movie he is in.

    I HAVE NO IDEA WHO Michelle Williams in, it is Masie Williams from GoT? I have no idea. I care nothing about a random name.

    This is why one gets paid more, BECAUSE HE IS WORTH MORE.

    The world has gone insane and nothing makes sense anymore.
