My point was that she lives very well compared to most of us women who had to scratch and save to survive. The word “sexism” is a fiction created by the elites who know absolutely nothing about how the world works.

Wow, she went to an event looking like that? Was her hairdresser/makeup artist on strike?

Do you know her Dad? I see he was a chemical engineer but I don’t see anything about his politics

She is right!!

I for one am not going to victimize her anymore! I refuse to participate in the subjugation and assault on Mz Garner.

I will never watch another movie that she stars in because I am just promoting the Rape Culture that Hollywood propagates to make 1%’ers in the film industry even richer at the expense of Mz Garner’s womynly humanity.

NEVER AGAIN should be our battle cry!

There isn’t another profession I know of that has as much self adulation as those that act.

Stop taking your clothes off in the movies. I never understood why someone agrees to do so when a stranger (directer, producer) says “ok now you take off all your clothes for this scene” and the actor says “ok”. You cannot expect to be taken seriously if you jump on that casting couch.

Perhaps Grampa Dave believes James Garner, the recently deceased actor, was Jennifer’s father. He was not.

And yet, like her husband, I bet she loves Islam.

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

I always thought James Garner was conservative....

Amen! I believe she getting her mug out there in anticipation for her charming hubby *cough* running for something. He fancies himself rather intelligent.

I have watched some of my sons’ very talented friends and my nephew languish in this business because being very talented is not enough. Being someone’s daughter/son helps, sleeping with people who have power helps. But talent? Dime a dozen.

Give them a bag like Sheldon did for Leonard to help out’

The Big Bang Theory - The Benefactor Factor:
In order to get a donation for the university from a much older wealthy benefactor who wants to go out with Leonard for more then dinner.

Sheldon gives Leonard a box containing condoms, Viagra, baby oil, and a picture of Mrs. Latham as a 25 year old.
Leonard says he won’t prostitute himself. (but did)

Afterward Sheldon tells Leonard he has a knack for gigolo work and should sell himself for more equipment.

At the university, Leonard is showered with applause by President Siebert and his colleagues as he “took one for the team”.
