better question, why are they comparing themselves to male actors? every actor is different and every actor is going to pull different figures

and don't give me that "ooh but the averages" crap, if they want to raise their values they need to be able to bring in more value through their work

You can't tell me The Rock deserves to earn stuff. He's a horrible actor.

charlize theron, a much better actor than chris hemsworth, with far more awards (including an oscar for best actress)

this is the entertainment industry we're talking about
someone bringing in more money is different then someone being "a better actor than" someone else

The wage gap is a really complicated subject that has a lot of mystery and falsities surrounding it. On both sides actually. The ultra-progressive narrative that male patriarchs are signing 25% smaller checks for women is provably a myth. But on the same note, there are absolutely societal factors at play that are more important than 'women don't negotiate for wages enough'.

I subscribe to the theory that the bulk of the reason we don't see as many women CEOs and high-powered businesswomen is because the age where most people pursue an MBA (after a couple of years in the workforce) falls right around the time when women end up getting married and having kids. Because of the way our society treats maternity leave as being 'optional', this derails the careers of lots of women and causes them to fall behind men in the job market.

There are some other issues at play, but I think this is probably what makes the biggest difference. Just my opinion - not sure if any really-good studies have come out and proven it.

how should I know
people lap up stupid stuff nowadays and it keeps changing
if Kim Kardashian or Beyonce were in a film how much would they pay them compared to someone like Chris Hemsworth? most of it is name recognition

so you shouldn't pay better actors more and worse actors less....??

I would do it if I were in charge
but I'm not, and I'm not going to tell other people what to do with their money
