She should be charged for extortion because this is the definition of it. I'm not sure if she had the opportunity to negotiate her pay but Mark did. But here's the genius of the way women work. Why negotiate for more money when I can just wait for the man to do all the negotiating for me and then demand the same amount by threat of calling everyone sexist? Before women had to marry a man and divorce him to get all his money. Now all the have to do is extort them. Just give them your money guys. Pretty soon you'll have no choice but to just throw money at them. Imagine all of the wonderful things we could accomplish if we didn't have to constantly satisfy the cries of these children.
On a different note. Why are we listening to the cries of a woman who looks like a 14 y/o boy? Keep stomping your foot little boy. "And nobody cared" we still don't.


True story: I was talking to my Ex-girlfriend who works as a physical therapist. She was complaining that her male coworker made more money than she did. Towards the end of the conversation she finally let out that they were to negotiate their own pay. It came out at the end of the conversation because she knew that was the reason she had been earning less. She didn't want to face the fact that she just didn't negotiate as well as her male coworker. It's much easier to pull the victim card than it is to get good.

When she becomes as big a name as her ex-husband and Wahlberg, then she can talk $1.5 million reshoot contracts. Will Smith would have made more than $1.5 million.

First of all, who is Michelle Williams? Secondly, Wahlberg negotiated his contract. Thirdly, Wahlberg has the most scenes to resort. Thirdly, who the Hell is Michelle Williams???

[nathanielwalters]

Will that be for all women or just white women?

I've never heard of this woman. Mark Wahlberg is a household name. But nobody is gonna pay this kooky feminist the same salary as Mark.

Good for you mark! I’m proud... I always knew you were a good guy.
