1. [+1,483, -58] Discriminating against people for things like being a woman or Asian is so unfair

2. [+1,158, -53] I feel like for someone of her status, she's in a position to speak out about the unjustness of it

3. [+920, -213] It's the opposite in the middle industry. Models like Kate Moss and Gisele earn millions but the top male models don't even earn 1/10 of what they do

4. [+704, -44] Seems discrimination happens everywhere. I hope it improves soon.

5. [+583, -37] Didn't know this happened in Hollywood too

6. [+134, -8] Anyone who's seen 'The Hunger Games' would defend her. She had so many action scenes as Katniss... and to be paid not on screentime or contribution but for your gender makes no sense.

7. [+99, -5] She has every right to criticize the system. Hollywood doesn't have stars who live off of CF money.

8. [+97, -6] I was surprised when I also heard that Amanda Seyfried only earns 10% of a male actor's wage

9. [+73, -3] Amanda Seyfried talked about something similar earlier too, I guess gender discrimination does exist

10. [+73, -3] It's like that in our movie industry too. Most of the top male and female actors differ in 100~200 million won in their wages.

11. [+58, -4] I think it's respectable that someone young and brave like Jennifer is speaking out about issues like racial and gender discrimination.

12. [+43, -2] I guess even the most top actors in the world suffer discrimination too..
