Are women's voices being heard in the entertainment industry or ...

Are women like Lindsay Lohan, Megan Fox, Katherine Heigl and even Meryl Streep to a certain degree holding them back?

The #MeToo movement did and didn't do them any favors as it spiralled out of control with feminists crying foul ... used to be a time when they wanted equality but now want the whole pie!!!

There are a lot of strong women like Susan Sarandon that get work because they create new projects with their own money but most end up going too far once they voice in politically and NO this is NOT a political thread so avoid that topic even if I needed to mention it as a reasoning for their missteps in the industry.

There are too many different groups with varying agendas so a single spokeswoman is a non starter. I wish I had clout in that industry, I could shake things up real quick lol

in my belief, women should improve mentality, because my personal experience state, wherever women is being ignored, there so ever men too not got importance, its not upon sex ratio or something else at, its just person to person, some people intentionally ignore others and they will include people irrespective of their physical appearance, rest, idk

Me Too ruined their chances. Hell feminism and me too has been nothing but a detriment to them. Sure a few big bads got outted. But that essentially caused men to close their ranks, ice women out,etc.

I'm not sure anyone is familiar with how the song Barracuda from Heart came about but here is the jist of it.

Here is the official story:

Wilson sisters revealed in various interviews that the song was about Heart's anger towards an*ad Mushroom Records placed*in trade publications implying that Ann and Nancy were lesbians having an affair. The song focuses on Ann's rage towards a promoter who came up to her after a concert in Detroit asking how her "lover" was. She initially thought he was talking about her then-boyfriend - band member Michael Fisher. After the promoter revealed he was talking about her sister Nancy Wilson, Ann became angry and went back to her hotel room to write the song. Nancy put suitably angry music to the words to complete the song comparing the sleazy side of music to a dangerous fish.

Here is the unofficial side of it:

During a break in an on air interview a DJ basically said that in order for them to get any airtime there had and to be something in it for him and these words came about because of that;

"You'd have me down, down, down to my knees
Wouldn't you, Barracuda"

Both stories are "true" and a certain someone in my life worked with Mushroom out of necessity many years ago and it is documented.

A dear friend of mine was just overlooked for what should have been hers but she got fucked in the ass figuratively, not because she wasn't qualified, I contend it has to do with her not being as saleable as they might have liked ... known as "the old boy network" that affects not just women but many newcomers without a resume.

I will offer this piece of advice for those that want to crack the entertainment industry, YouTube is your friend. Sell yourself there and get exposure and one day those same fuckers that said no will come crawling to you begging for your work ...
