One of the important themes of the twentieth century in Hollywood are the themes of sexism and chauvinism. Earlier in their interviews and biographies, actresses and actors avoided uncomfortable and discrediting topics. Now, almost every Hollywood star, shares his memories of harassment, harassment, threats and pressure.
Mila Kunis took responsibility and wrote an open letter on the APlus website. In her reflections on the issue of gender inequality and sexist oppression, she touched upon personal experiences and admitted that her producer was threatened at the beginning of her career.
Mila showed determination and rebuffed the influential producer, but her sense of helplessness still haunts her:
"You'll never be able to find a job in this city," the producer told me, in which I played a part. To promote the role and the film, he insisted on explicit shooting for the men's magazine. At first I was confused and felt utterly helpless, but self-esteem made me look at this problem differently. The anger from injustice, fury, which came to replace confusion, helped me resolutely refuse and look for the role with redoubled force. An important lesson I learned: "Your world will not fail and your career will not end!" And you know, I found work in this city again and again!
Mila believes that many girls are afraid to defend their opinions because of fear of losing a good post, a stable salary, position in society. But, if you do not talk about it, the problem will not be solved:
I confess that I was silent for a long time and reconciled with my eternal roles of the second plan. I was offended, but did not stop. Despite the cuts in fees and the ignoring of creative proposals, I acted and was eager to prove that I was the best. I have set myself the difficult task of proving that I am a professional actress and can be successful in the film industry with "male rules". The older I became, the more I realized that I am more worthy and experienced than many eminent men in my field, so I can with full responsibility demand respect and "play by my rules!"
Mila Kunis: producer, actress and fighter for women's rights!
The creation of the production company Orchard Farm Productions and the signing of the contract with ABC Studios was the result of the fruitful work of Mila and her female colleagues. Thanks to her professionalism and "hard grip", she received not only an opportunity to realize her ideas, but also to give an opportunity to self-actualize to other, no less talented women. Mila Kunis states:
Gender prejudices surround us from all sides. Science, history, philosophy, politics, everywhere appear male names. We are overwhelmed with tales of male genius and superiority.
I have a tough attitude towards sexism and I'm lucky to have reached the point where people listen to me. Many women are not able to withstand the aggressive pressure and are afraid of losing their development opportunities in their careers and business. I'm not afraid and I'm ready to share my determination and experience of fighting rudeness and sexism.Read also
