"My question isn't so much about the wage because the wage
gap, it's a result of something bigger," Bullock said while
promoting her latest film "Our Brand is Crisis".
"I've said this so many times but no-one can give me an answer
or wants to answer, which is 'why are women thought of as less
than? Why have we allowed that thought?' and I am blaming myself
as well."
When asked what she thought of Lawrence's essay for the Lenny
newsletter, Bullock replied it was "brave, beautiful, right on."
In the essay, Lawrence said she's had it with trying to be
"adorable" when it comes to sexism in Hollywood and equal pay
for women.
"I think you need someone like Jennifer Lawrence who's hugely
respected and successful to stop and say 'You know what? I know
I've got all these blessings but here are the facts ... It still
happens to me'," Bullock said.
