Hollywood Feminist of the Day: Paul Feig to Add Equity Clause to Future Film Contracts

Paul Feig continues to act as a much-needed champion for women in film. The “Ghostbusters” director and co-writer said that he would add an equity clause to his future film contracts that would require gender-balanced casting for minor roles.

He told The Associated Press, “I think we need to set these things in stone so it forces everybody to think that way.”

Academy Award winning actress Patricia Arquette tells Glamour how she’s lost out on a lot of jobs since making a bold speech about wage inequality in Hollywood at the 2015 Oscars.

In a world in which people are punished for sharing views about ways they’ve been wronged, we must stand strong and fight for what’s right. We must disrupt the expectations and shake the core of today’s norms.
