I Hate How Box Office Failures Are Blamed On An Actress, Yet I Don’t See A Box Office Failure Blamed On Men. I Think A Lot Of The Time In Films, Men Get Roles Where They Create Their Own Destiny And Women Are Just Tools, Supporters For That. I Guess It’s Because We Live In A Patriarchal Society, Where Feminism Is A Dirty Word.
