Zoe Saldana thinks movie studios are sexist because they don't pay for daycare.

There are no limits which bound the idiocy flowing eternal from Hollywood.

Newlywed actress Zoe Saldana says motherhood can be a challenge when you’re a star, because while major studios are shuffling the men around the world on jets, the ladies are still struggling to get a little help with daycare.

But then a woman comes in going, ‘OK, I have a child. You’re taking me away from my home. You’re taking my children away from their home. And you’re going to make me work a lot more hours than I usually would if I was home. Therefore, I would have to pay for this nanny for more hours — so I kind of need that. And they go, ‘Nope, we don’t pay for nannies.’

I imagine she is not the only woman who complains about this kind of stuff, but heres why this rubs me the wrong way:

-this woman has a net worth of 14 million dollars and she's throwing a fit about having to shell out a pittance for a babysitter.

-she's trying to make this about sexism. Are women the only people who have children which they care for and love? What about her "artist" husband? Since artist is a trendy way of saying unemployed leech, I imagine he has a lot of free time.


- She is greatly overestimating her worth. Sure, she might be a leading lady in a few films, but she's just not a very good actress and will never cary a film. She can only serve as a male character's interest, so she's mad that the male actor, who has a bigger role than her, is getting paid more. Does she not realize how easily replaceable she is as an actress?

When are women going to accept that they are equal. When will they accept that their pay is merit-based and that they are now held responsible for their own decisions?
