Ah I’m not in love with the other comments so far. Those commenters are all complaining class based wealth and wage disparity. That’s 100% a problem. A really big one! But the actress’s statement is about gender discrimination. And that is also a big problem.
We should never use the existence one problem to diminish or ignore others.
When she is out earning the other women in her field, she can speak up on this topic.
Sandra Bullock landed 70 million out of a single gig more than 5 times this ladies’ net worth. Last I checked, Sandra Bullock identified as a woman.
Margot Robbie is salaried at this ladies’ lifetime earning off of just Barbie.
Actor pay is not anything comparable to working class wages.
Her complaint isn’t happening in a vacuum, it’s happening in an economy that has single working mothers earning 10 bucks an hour while she’s a fucking millionaire.
When she is out earning the other women in her field, she can speak up on this topic
“Only the highest paid women in their occupation can discuss the gender pay gap”
This is literally the fucking stupidest take I can conceive one may have on the topic. I quite honestly can not even imagine a worse one, because any “worse” one at least would more honestly betray the sexism of the holder. You’ve managed to hit peak bad faith argument before slipping into overtly championing sexism.
I go out of my way to watch things she is in because she is such a good actor. I have heard the same from at least a few other people when discussing stuff she is in. She is consistently the best actor in anything she is in. I suspect that most people view her this way considering all the awards she wins. That kind and of dismantles the argument that she doesn’t bring in viewers like her male counterparts do.
It doesn’t matter that she is filthy rich, injustice is injustice. If we built a broken system that stratifies wealth, it’s still MORE broken if it also advantages some people over others.

How many blockbuster movies has she been the lead in? Because I have a strong feeling being a woman isn’t the reason she makes less like she’s trying to paint it as.
Last movie she did was Wonka. Whose name is on the poster…? I’m seeing $628 million box office
Movie before that 'Wicked Little Letters" were her name is on the poster. $10 million at box office
She should just go ahead and be Oliver Coleman in order to prove her point. She’s completely capable of portraying “him” convincingly, and making him lovable as well. I’d watch anything he was in, just like I watch whatever she’s in.
