Actress tells of ‘equality lies’
ACTRESS and comedian Amy Schumer has said women her age were “raised under the illusion of equality”.
She said it would take a long time for there to be a true gender balance.
Schumer, 36, said: “I think we were raised under the illusion of equality and until this next generation dies out women are not treated equally and we are not spoken to equally.
“I think we were lied to about it, because you don’t want to tell a little girl ‘you are going to some day make 80 cents on the dollar for the same job’. Then I feel selfish even saying that because of how much worse it is for people of colour, but we all need to be helping each other to achieve that.”
