The hypocrisy of Linda Bloodworth-Thomason
By Monica Showalter
Remember Linda Bloodworth-Thomason? The Hollywood writer from the Friends of Bill days, the crafter of President Clinton's Monica Lewinsky talking points, the woman caught jumping on the bed in the rented out Lincoln Bedroom?
(http://admin.americanthinker.com/images/bucket/2017-10/201557_5_.jpg)
With so many Hollywood denizens coming out of the woodwork in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, Bloodworth-Thomason has a guest column for the Hollywood Reporter, decrying the culture of sexism such as she saw it herself in Hollywood, and then offering a half-baked old-hat Hollywoodish proposed solution about the girls teaming up to fight the establishment (as if that hadn't been acted out before in 20-year-old movies such as Nine to Five). It's not going to work, given the very structure of Hollywood, such as it's described well by John Podhoretz here.

Just being pedantic, but 9 to 5 (the actual movie title) was released in 1980, so it's 37 years old now.
