Sharon Stone is all over it, complaining that Michael Douglas made $14M for 'Basic Instinct' while she only made $500k. Bear in mind that, at the time it was made, MD had already won TWO Oscars and was a very big star. SS was basically a nobody who'd made a few films but was almost invisible in Hollywood. She actually admits this but still bemoans how little she made for the movie. Like anyone, at that time, paid for a ticket to see her. I also remember Jennifer Lawrence complaining that she got 'only' $1M (I'm trying to remember the exact amount but, in relative terms, it's basically correct) for 'American Hustle' while her male co-stars got something like $5 or $10M. Oh yeah, she never even counter offered, just accepted the first offer. Her co-stars? They negotiated higher rates and got them.
The so-called 'gender pay gap' has been disproven many, many times but the MSM keeps trotting it out whenever it's convenient. If there is a gap, it's very small not the 23% that MSM would have you believe. It doesn't even make logical sense. Why would a company hire a male at $X when a female, who can do the exact same job with the same level of competency, could be hired at $0.77X? Why would a company promote a male when a female could do the job for less money? But, the same shrill voices rehash this nonsensical idea pretty regularly.
