I love that she did mention the Reese Witherspoon part.

 

I didn't like her distaste for the movies this year saying she didn't enjoy how they portayed women.  And she openly admits she only watched a few.  Its an entertainment business and actually looking at all the nominated films I really disagree with her on this one.

 

I think she is somebody is who firm in her convictions (and more power to her) but sometimes she does need a filter especially when discussing an industry she is part of.

I'd like to know what movies she's talking about... because I'm a huge movie fan and I think I've seen all the nominated movies except for Selma and Gone Girl is the only one that comes to my mind (and I LOVED that one, so once again I wouldn't agree with her).

I always realize how hard it is to be Mayim's fan when I discuss some of her posts with someone who read it just because it was controversial and went viral. And honestly, it's more and more tiring.

Hmm it didn't bother me at all lol. Like this is the least controversial thing she's said in months. A lot of people last night were talking about #askhermore and it just sounds to me like Mayim isn't interested in all that red carpet stuff which is fine (though I love it!).

I can understand movies are not for everyone. I can understand media in general is not for everyone.  I think it is great that she has more interests in life than the typical Hollywood person, but I do tend to get frustrated when Mayim talks against the industry that pays her all the time.   Just because she is making her living in that industry, it is important to stay somewhat aware of what is going on in it.   It is important to look as though you support it.   I just have an issue with her working in an industry that she seems to have a lot of disdain for by her comments.   I would love to see her publicist work with her on coming across more positive in general not just about the industry, but in her posts as a whole.  She can really come across like a very embittered individual at times and that isn't good.  

 

I am not saying she has to be all roses and champagne.  But I do think it is important to project a bit more positive attitude and show at least a passing interest in what is happening in the industry in which you are being paid and have chosen to make a living at.   She is charming, delightful, real and honest.   Those are admirable traits, but it might be harder and harder for her to find good roles and have to settle for C list or below stuff if she is talking against her industry so much.

 

It is fine to have a life outside of it and I applaud her that she does take much more active roles in caring for people, charities and causes and that her main focus is her boys/family.  These are great.   It really doesn't take much, however, to quickly read through headlines quickly and skim a few articles to stay abreast of the industry.  Likewise just watching a few clips so she would know a little about the films or TV shows would seem like a worthwhile task to undertake so that when she does got o industry events, she has something in common with the people she has to socialize with.  Right now, other than TBBT cast, she must find it is hard to have something to talk about when most of the people in Hollywood are too shallow to really take strong interests in anything but themselves.

Mayim:  Feminist in Your Heart, Amy on your Screen


I'm with Mayim on this one, currently recovering from my 2nd cold since December, horrible yukky!

Also I'm not keen on the new layout for Kveller, was better the old way

Hope you are feeling better.

 

The layout took some getting used to and I have to say that I preferred the previous one as well, but now that I am used to this one, it isn't as bad as I originally thought.   :laugh:

I don't regularly follow Mayim on Kveller, but I have to say that the picture they're using next to her byline is a major improvement over the old one, if only for it being more up to date (the previous picture looked like one of her in her younger days, and gave off a very Blossom-ish vibe).

Mayim is promoting a Kickstarter campaign:

A lot of retweets and favorites from fans - but I have a funny feeling a majority of them didn't actually click to link.

I'm glad that she's promoting such a important topic. I think here at my univ we inducted her (Mankiller, just to clarify) into the women's plaza of honor this past fall. I think so. Can't be sure. But yeah, as a native, am glad people are taking an interest in things Like this :)
