When there’s people who name their children in honour of Roman Polanski, bad characters tend to continue to exist.
Shouldn’t she be using her status and influence to NOT be on those film sets? It’s crazy to use that as an argument for her side. Like don’t work on those sets.
I do not deny that consumers have power here. But so does the superstar with all the money she could ever need.
That’s not oppression, that’s called making movies. Turns out hauling equipment, rigging lights and doing 18-hour stunt days doesn’t always attract equal numbers. Shocker
Didn’t she work with Woody Allen in the film Blue Jasmine. *eyeroll*
Is it me too when guys are just there? Wtf
She’s projecting
If it’s a healthy environment I don’t really see the issue with more men than women on a set. It’s not automatically a bad thing.
In my experience film crews are still a lot of men but theres plenty of talented people who are not in that category.
However the higher tier shows, the ones that a talent like cate blanchett would be working on. They hire experienced HOD who hire experienced crew who tell the same jokes and stories and are more likely to be men.
I mean, those guys are just doing their jobs. Im sure it does happen but overall the film industry isn’t a male dominated space because women arn’t getting hired for them as much. It’s not a me too thing ether.
Then MAKE a movie
If that’s the biggest complaint she has, that still sounds like a pretty great job.
She’s right, there’d be more than 10 women on Woody Allen’s sets, or Polanski‘s.
Those guys really know how to respect a person, right Cate?
you know what’s boring? Hypocrisy.
Yeah, the minute the me too movement started to cool, I think most of us thought…
“The minute they get a handle on this, it will get a whole lot worse.”
I mean, by her saying “It just gets boring,” she is basically admitting that she does not see acting as a job. Is the production company making the movie supposed to prioritize hiring people who are the best at accomplishing the job, or are they supposed to hire people to entertain Cate Blanchett while she is on set? What is she even complaining about here, being bored? God forbid Cate Blanchett gets bored while doing a job she gets paid to do.
Ohh no I make millions but have to work with some men wahhh why can’t I be surrounded by pussy wahhh oh that’s right because they’re not the ones making most of the movies wahhh wahhh
What did „me too“ have to do with the amount of men working on film sets?
Well I just lost all respect. Great actress but obviously a moron. Me Too was about sexual assault, not men having jobs.
Me too failed because men work. What a bore.
Presumably she’s furiously campaigning against the majority of women in healthcare and teaching.
She wants quotas. lol.
Start a production company and hire who you like. Technically illegal, but I doubt anyone’s gonna successfully sue before the company shuts down.
I work with majority women, also boring.
Working with woody Allen ain’t helping
How many females are applying to be grips? Serious question. Anyone have any experience?
She’s got enough money in the bank, why doesn’t she start her own film company and hire all women as she wants, if she thinks it would be such a success.
Cry me a river jfc. It’s 2026, enough with all this whining
MeToo was never going to be a thing when most people in Hollywood, including women like Cate Blanchett here, are comfortable working with proven sex pests, even going as far as defending them, i.e. Polanski and Woody Allen.
That’s… that’s not what #MeToo was about.
Reddit will be normal about this I’m sure…
I thought „me too“ was about eliminating sexual abuse. Not some sort of employment equity idea.
Got it, no men allowed to do anything, especially white men.
This is why the „movement“ shut down so fast. It stopped being about abuse survivors and people standing up for whats right and became about men and women and how unless women have exactly a 50-50 (49-51 women) slice of everything that exists then men are horrible evil creatures.
All I can say „it just gets boring“
What does Cate Blanchett know? It’s so annoying when we turn to random celebrities for judgement on an issue. These people are not experts. They’re actors.
Cate the hypocrite
I thought MeToo was about sex pests like Woody Allen and Roman Polanski. Why does Cate Blanchett think it was about getting fired a bunch of innocent below the line day laborers ASMAB?
I thought me too was about exposing the creeps, not the ratio of men and women working on films? Why doesn’t she start her own film distribution/studio and hires women?
“Oh no men” I thought the point of me too was to stop powerful men from raping women? But apparently it was to get rid of men from the industry?
Pound me too? That sounds like an invitation not a statement to stop rape. Someone didn’t really think that through
this is why we can take this hollywood stars seriously, they live in their own world and don’t know shit about anything.
MEN BAD is also getting boring
is that what metoo is meant to fix?
Then choose films with majority women on set
MeToo was about sexual harrasment, not making every set 50/50 with genders.
The staff at my kids school is like the reverse….10 men and 75 women….should men have a #metoo moment for that?
disgusting person.
I have no idea what having a lot of men on set has to do with #MeToo unless those 75 men are all sexual predators.
that’s not the point of me too if the title it accurate
Maybe she should take Nicole Kidmans example as deliberately choosing to work with Female Directors and Writers and emulate that?
God she comes off as a snob so often.
This woman is the epitome of contradictions. Also, if you feel so displeased in the set, just quit (oh, I see, the money…)
