Michelle Williams on Not Receiving Equal Pay

Actress Michelle Williams joined the Democratic Women's Caucus on #EqualPayDay to discuss her personal experience of the dealing with the global gender pay gap on the film "All the Money in the World." “Imagine a workplace where women don’t have to spend extra or any energy fighting for fair pay or defending their rights but can instead focus that energy on the fullest expression of the task at hand,” she said.

These people are too incompetent to understand their incompetence.

94% of all work place deaths are men - This is the Gender Safety Gap
80% of all homeless people are men - This is the Gender Homeless Gap
Men on average work more hours than women - This is the Gender Hours Gap
If you want to know the truth about the Gender Pay Gap then you need to watch the video called - What about the Gender Work Place Hours Gap?

In the film Notting Hill (1999) Julia Roberts was paid $15 million while Hugh Grant was paid a fraction of that, yet Hugh Grant didn't whine about a gender pay gap.

OMG, she is nowhere close to as famous as Mark Wahlberg. Why would she be paid the same rate? Her movies have grossed a fraction of what his have. They don't bitch when less famous actors make less than actresses in the same movie.

Ummm markie mark is way more well known than her. Jennifer Lawrence would make 10x as much as James vanderbeek if doing the same amount of work in a movie. Thats how it works in film. I’m for equal pay but Hollywood is not a litmus test for this. Stay outta politics 1% celebs

If she starred in a movie...the aspect that gets her paid (contract based on expected sales)...is Already not there. As soon as those said viewers who buy the tickets and see the trailer are aware, they are likely to NOT want to see that movie. We can't demand what we don't deserve

[ILLUMINATHAN]

More people are going to the movies for Mark Walhberg

Emotional thinkers cause irreparable damage.

Omg! I thought this was Ralphy from a Christmas Story all grown up.

I've heard of Mark Wahlberg, I've seen his movies. I never heard of you. Why should you be paid the same as who has done more and better work the you? Bring a crowd as large as he does and you will be paid the same.

[SnowLeopardForever]

Did you people even listen to her speech? She got paid less than $1, 000 while Walberg got paid more than $1, 000, 000 and they did the same amount of work in the film. And Williams was not an unknown actress at the time, she was known. People who thought that was ok, you are sad.

[vinniemascaro]

So she thought by looking like macauly caulkin or the kid from a Christmas story would get her the pay?

[vinniemascaro]

Simply put...equal pay is not a standard in her profession. Her profession is the same logic as retail in that...a ps5 will be higher priced then an Xbox 360...one is brand new and the other is an old, unwanted, outdated system where no one will pay remotely near the price of a ps5. She is unpopular...not very talented...so because she's listed as an actress doesn't mean it comes with a guaranteed pay. She is the Xbox 360 in that she's not wanted and outdated

Jaoquin doesn't make half of that of walberg and Michelle. Ted grossed more than 500 he had Transformers but franchise does Michelle have
