In reply to the discussion: ‘It’s Sexist’ To Vote For Hillary Clinton - Susan Sarandon [View all]northernsouthern
(1,511 posts)I know they have proven that people select singers based on looks, that many places are trying to use a blind of types to do try-outs to get the more skilled person. I know the music industry used to be only male dominated for singers (which seems crazy). I can not attest to the likelihood of a musician or producer getting singled out because she is an older woman, all I know is my aunt watched all of her jobs dry up as she got older, so I have seen first hand the effects. So for someone to brag about an actress doing movies that are not the most proud of as they get up in age is a bit shallow and a bit of a hypocritical thing to do in a post on sexism. Amy's skit was to the teeth on what my aunt went through and also what Susan is facing. She has been outspoken in her views, she was a Green party activist last time. To attack her for having a view is sexism as well. You are saying your view, but you are attacking her for it.
