Are you for equal pay for actresses? - Page 7

The answer is YES. Bias, tradition, and history all have some role to play in not just the gender gap, but gaps in race, language, sexual orientation, and gender identity as well.

It is OK for women to gush over celebrities. They are encouraged to do so. They don't have anything else important to do.

But men are discouraged from gushing over celebrities. They have a responsibility to earn and become breadwinners for their family.

It is OK for Salman Khan to take off his shirt and romance young women who could be his daughter. A woman who attempts to do the same will be s**t shamed and have her integrity questioned.

It is OK for a man to ignore everything and dedicate everything to perfecting his craft (sports, music, acting whatever). A woman who attempts to do the same will be deemed selfish and rejected.

There is a lot of historical bias, social structure, gender conditioning that prevents women from being as successful. In the realm of movies it will take time and effort and some thoughtful planning for women to generate the same amount of success. But I think there are a lot of baby steps and small changes to go before women deliver 300K films.

In film, things are changing for marginalized groups.

Wonder Woman showed that a woman can carry an entire action film on her shoulders.

Love Simon proved that a gay love story can become a teenage romcom hit.

Black Panther showed that an all-black cast can deliver a commercially successful film.

Crazy Rich Asians hit box office gold despite being only the second film in history to be all Asian

50% of that responsibility is in making compelling good movies that everyone loves. 50% of it is in having audiences shift their perceptions of what makes a compelling good movie.

Of course, they should the gender disparity is very unfair towards actresses. I won't talk about box office and the Khans because that's just pointless not even the current superstars can give their kinda box office on a steady basis so expecting that from the actresses in a society that's not a very pro-female activist is just asking for way too much. But let's just go down to the very basics how much is an average actress paid? Take that number and compare it to an average actor's salary, not even a superstar lets say a Suraj Pancholi or an Ayush Sharma who do you think is paid more a Kriti Sanon or a Suraj Pancholi? I'm not even talking about 'value' here. The pay gap is huge the male counterparts are paid double for the same amount of work as the female ones. How is this fair? I'm not saying give them a paycheck as fat as the Khans but don't tell me that they don't deserve the same amount of pay as some very nondeserving male actors do just because of their gender.

when a Deepika gets paid around 10-12Crs who is the supposedly 'highly paid actress' and other actors are paid something between 30-35Crs then I think you take what Kriti makes and multiply it by 2 and you'd get Pancholi's paycheck number 😆 simple logic. Unless you have numbers to prove me wrong 😉

ur post achieved an initial rating of 100 out of 100 and then I multiplied it by 2 to get 200 and then i divided it by 1 and multiply by 0 to get final rating of 0

lol... onus is on u to provide evidence. and supplement it with facts.

based on my sense i dont think panchioli would get more than sanon
