It’s not sex discrimination. It’s called bad actors discrimination. Neither Miss Garner nor her husband can act.

Indeed. Why stop there? Why do we have separate Olympic events for women? Why the LPGA? WBA?

Gals should be considered at the same level as men so no more Oscar for Best Actress. One Oscar for best Actor (man or woman) and may the best one get the trophy.

Bravo Jennifer - you go girl.

We can talk when Jennifer comes and watches me work and hands me an award for doing so for 21 years in a row. Until then....shaddup.

Isn’t this the bright light that went on Ellen and told women they were welcome for being able to see her talentless hubby frontally nude? Does she have a clue?

Her dad was a die hard flaming liberal ah, and he got worse as he aged instead of maturing.

If she thinks Hollywood isn’t P.C. enough for her, I don’t think there is a place on the planet that would suit her.

Selected cities hold marathon races and to my knowledge the same rules apply for men and women (I could be mistaken). If the best woman finishes 10th or 20th or 30th, she gets crowned while some men ahead of that winner do not get recognized. I could be in error with all that since I don’t often follow those events.

Saw her doing a trashy advert the other day. I wondered if she can’t get any acting gigs.

To all talentless sluts and whores of Hollywood, if you weren’t an attractive female, you would be prostituting for far less money.

And how much money does Garner make for every acting gig?

... every single person who interviewed [Jennifer] ... asked me, 'How do you balance work and family?'

"And [Ben] said the only thing anyone asked him repeatedly was about the t--s on the 'Blurred Lines' girl (Affleck's 'Gone Girl' co-star Emily Somethingpolish).

It sounds like the press treated her as a competent adult with a life, and him as a pig. Enjoy the respect, Jennifer.

I’d bet any amount of money that all of these cries of “girl power!” and “sexism!” are just lead-ins for their ultimate goal in 2016. They know that 2014 is a done deal, and that they need to start working female and low-information voters for Hillary’s scam of a candidacy.

Who knows. I have never seen her on a TV show or the big screen and if not for printed newspapers in which she is the primary topic, I would be totally unaware of her career. I have paid to see two movies in the last twelve years and one was about the U.S. Olympic hockey team of 1980.

There you go. I dont think the fems would appreciate it if the issue of sexism as it applies to Segregated sports gets some steam.

No more LPGA! Thats sexist! Who watches that anyway?
