Actresses to Wear Black to Golden Globes to Protest Gender Inequality

[yASSsss 35,510]

Following the cultural awakening in Hollywood over sexual harassment and gender inequality, industry insiders are trying to figure out how best to acknowledge the #MeToo movement during awards season in 2018.

Sources say that at the Golden Globes on Jan. 7, actresses, including nominees and presenters, are planning to wear black to protest gender inequality and to acknowledge the flood of sexual abuse allegations that have rocked Hollywood beginning with Harvey Weinstein. This follows on the heels of the announcement Wednesday that all the presenters at the Jan. 21 Screen Actors Guild Awards will be female.

This is cool--I'm glad they're standing in solidarity and sending a message. Admittedly, its disappointing we wont be getting any exciting "fashion" looks, but the message is so much more important.

I dont think its so much “gender inequality” as it is misconduct by people in power at least in aspect to the sexual allegations

 

Men have a physical intimidation edge over women which gives them more power to abuse it

 

theres high status power as well which in that aspect the inequality thing is relevant

 

but in most cases i dont think its the issue... its individuals who abuse their perceived power over others

"Against gender inequality"

"All presenters will be female"

Absolute tripe.

Kind of dumb, IMO. It's like when people scribbled chalk on their arms for suicidal people. At first, I thought it was a nice thing, but then I talked with my bestie who has had suicidal thoughts in the past and he was like, stuff like that is just so people don't feel obligated to actually do something about the problem. Like when people tweet "praying for [insert terrorised country here]".

And he was right. Wearing black won't do anything. People will talk about it in the news for a day and then everything will go back to normal. It's time to step it up, on behalf of all the women who have suffered at the hands of these dirtbags.

Don't see the correlation but black always looks sleek. Hopefully some good looks.
