[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 28337, member: 35"] I don't know how things work in Sweden, but I'm pretty sure the statistics from Forbes only apply to the United States. Acting is not the same as your typical 9 to 5, hourly wage job. They have to negotiate how much they're paid. In television, contract negotiations are an ongoing process. I don't think it's right that women are undervalued in film and television, but I believe the Hollywood wage gap is its own separate thing. It should be corrected, of course, but I don't think it's representative of pay inequality across the board. We should all strive for equality, but we have to keep in mind men and women still have their differences. Although both sexes can have their share of masculine and feminine traits, men do tend to be physically stronger and more prone to violence. However, my point is violence should not be tolerated regardless of who is doing it. That's why it I hate phrases like "You should never hit a woman." How about you should never hit anybody? And since we're on the subject of equality, what about divorce? Women tend to make bigger financial gains and win custody suits in divorce cases far more than men. There is an upside and a downside to everything. [/QUOTE]
