8:28Now PlayingMila Kunis is opening up about the rampant gender discrimination in Hollywood and American workplaces in general. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Mila Kunis has had enough.
The 33-year-old actress took to Ashton Kutcher's website, A Plus, on Wednesday to pen a response to producers and other industry figures who have discriminated against her and other women on the job.
"You'll never work in this town again," Kunis powerfully starts her essay, detailing an experience where she was threatened by a producer for refusing to pose semi-naked on the cover of a men's magazine to promote a film.
"What this producer may never realize is that he spoke aloud the exact fear every woman feels when confronted with gender bias in the workplace," she wrote. "We don't want to be kicked out of the sandbox for being a 'b**ch.' So we compromise our integrity for the sake of maintaining the status quo and hope that change is coming."
"But change is not coming fast enough to help my friends, my peers, or even our children," she writes. "In fact, a recent study by the American Association of University Women shows that the pay gap is closing at such a slow rate that it will be 136 years before women are paid equally to men.””*
