Hollywood Lies Here
Why is it that people believe the myth put out by Hollywood that it's a bastion of Liberalism? I mean, check the salaries and the only movies where female actors make more than male actors is when they're taking it up the ass in porn flicks, made on the cheap, for men. Talk about pay inequity - the top male actors in Hollywood (and all the producers and directors are male, too, don't forget) are men and the ratio between what they earn and what the top female actors earn is much greater than, say, that between male parking lot attendants and female daycare workers.
The movies Hollywood makes are bad enough, with all the beauty and marriage myths and men saving women themes that completely deny Feminism (and reality), but there is also an inexcusable wage gap between the genders (how is male acting harder than female acting, for instance?) - not to mention an almost complete absence of women from positions of power in order to bring any balance to the Hollywood boardrooms. Indeed, women are only good for sex in Hollywood, on screen and off.
Screen actors guild? Yeah - for men. White men, to be specific.
And what about racism? George Lucas still makes films that perpetuate racist stereotypes (put out there by Hollywood in the first place) and everybody pretends "oh no, not George Lucas" (in spite of his racist hair do) - that the shiftless coward character with the Jamaican accent and the duplicitous merchant characters with the Asian accents are just random portrayals of, well, what - exactly? We're just so propagandized to believe that Hollywood is Liberal that we insist there's no connection between on screen racism and real life racism even though America sees itself through a Hollywood lens.
So why does Hollywood have a reputation for Liberalism? Even Washington under the Republican Party is more Liberal than Hollywood and yet, it, too, perpetuates the myth that it's under attack by Liberal voices from this bastion of sexism and racism.
