Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence last week penned an
essay on the subject -- in which she said she's had it with
trying to be "adorable" when it comes to sexism in Hollywood and
equal pay for women. The issue has since been gaining traction.
Comedian Amy Schumer said the issue of equal pay went beyond the
movie industry, joking about "the poor victims of Hollywood".
"If we raise minimum wage, most minimum wage workers are women
... that'll help," she said.
Swedish actress Alicia Vikander said any conversation about the
issue of equal pay should be welcomed.
"It's all about bringing awareness and to educate people," she
said.
