Hollywood, violent towards women?
Naturally, since 2017 and the #MeToo revolution – which also finds its incarnations in French cinema, through this trial for example – the various revelations have largely demonstrated this… Even if these speeches provoke a “backlash “: a backlash, as we explain in this detailed article.
And this outrages a great actress of the new generation. Both a revelation of a classic of horror cinema and a phenomenal blockbuster franchise, she is British, very intense in her performances, bearer of feminist values such as pride in her body (when she sports a very controversial naked dress for example)… It is obviously Florence Pugh we are talking about. The Midsommar star decided to break the silence on sexism in Hollywood.
“Women must respect certain barriers in Hollywood, certain limits in fact“, denounces Pugh in an interview with the Times. “Otherwise, we call them divas, demanding, problematic women. And I don’t want to fit the stereotypes created by others!“
The diva… A hyper paradoxical, sexist myth, built on prejudices, solely dedicated to designating women, but also inspiring, a source of power: we decipher it for you in this mood post. But for Florence Pugh this is not the only problem, far from it.
She continues: “It’s really exhausting for a young woman to work in this industry, and in others for that matter, because…“
“Repress one sex, always”: the shocking words of a remarkable actress
The protagonist of Dune and Oppenheimer does not stop there.
She raises her voice: “It has always been fashionable to tell a woman how she should live her life… Or that the decisions she makes are wrong or too loud…“
“It’s all about control, isn’t it? It is always ultimately about repressing one sex, the feminine gender, and we are confronted with it all the time!“, tackles the actress, who ends her column thus: “But I was always encouraged to make my voice heard!“
Repression of sex, that is to say gender, stigmatization of women, ordinary sexism, silencing of those who talk too much… Or who show too much. Like the divas or even worse, the bimbos, who are finally taking their revenge today in the industry: this is what Paris Hilton says with a bang.
As for control… It readily extends from speaking out, especially when they become too feminist and vindictive, to taking responsibility for one’s body, beyond the judgments of the gaze. Which is not always obvious: we saw it with this iconic popstar, who hit the headlines by revealing her chest on the red carpet.
Where Florence Pugh precisely, who had done the same through one of her most emblematic dresseshad castigated the machos: “Why are you so afraid of our breasts?“.
A punchline of which only she has the secret.
