“Girls want to speak about how they made cash and never feeling ashamed of it.”
OK, a fast recap: Whereas presenting Finest Make-up on the 2002 Oscars with Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe informed his now ex-wife to disclose the winner as a result of “You make greater than I do.” (Soar to 1:42-1:52 within the under video.)
Did you neglect about that one? Effectively, so did Witherspoon, as she just lately admitted on the podcast The HFPA in Dialog: “You are reminding me of that! I forgot that ever occurred. However you are proper, he did say that, and no, it wasn’t scripted.”
She went on to say that she had no thought Phillippe can be saying that on stage, and that it had left her “a bit bit flummoxed within the second, too.”
Witherspoon referred to the second once more later within the podcast earlier than diving deeper into “a double customary that exists in our society.”
“There’s so few ladies that make some huge cash that generally they’re shamed for it, and generally they’re anticipated to offer extra and do extra and be extra to others in the identical place that say a male film star wouldn’t be anticipated to.”
“And that is only a double customary that exists in our society. However I do suppose gender norms have modified fairly a bit since that second in 2000.”
“I do suppose there are extra ladies making a living. I believe there’s extra dialog across the division of home labor and that males are succesful and completely satisfied and prepared to do issues that possibly their fathers did not do after they had been rising up.”
“However I believe all of it will get again to the purpose that we have to speak. Girls want to speak about cash and the way they made cash and never feeling ashamed of it.”
Witherspoon additionally shared a narrative about her daughter Ava feeling “so embarrassed” after her classmates introduced up that her mom was one of many highest-paid female-identifying actors in Hollywood.
“I stated, ‘Do not ever really feel ashamed of a lady making a living.’ There are ladies throughout this world who do not have a chance or an training or the power to earn a living.”
“And the extra ladies who make more cash, will give extra money away, will deal with their societies, will deal with their communities, will do extra with that cash.”
“So do not ever really feel unhealthy about your mother making a living, and do not ever really feel unhealthy should you earn a living, and do not feel embarrassed or ashamed if it is greater than your companion.”
“And that is a lesson that I needed to study as a result of my mom actually wasn’t in that state of affairs and neither was my grandmother. I am nonetheless navigating that as a lady.”
