Reese Witherspoon and Julianne Moore are some of the top actresses in Hollywood showing support for #AskHerMore. Reese showed her support via Facebook and Instagram on Sunday. The hashtag, created by the Representation project, is aimed at having reporters ask more “creative” questions for women, asking something other than “Who are you wearing?”.
“There are so many amazing, talented nominees this year,” Witherspoon captioned the photo. “Let’s hear their stories!”
Cate Blanchett called out the discrepancy after getting the up-down at the SAG Awards. “Do you do that to the guys?” she asked.
There is a notable discrepancy in the questions being asked beyond dresses, accessories and the mani cam. Jennifer Garner pointed it out at the Elle Women of Hollywood last year. “We got home at night and we compared notes,” she said. “And I told him every single person who interviewed me, I mean every single one … asked me, ‘How do you balance work and family?’ And he said the only thing that people asked him repeatedly was about the tits on the ‘Blurred Lines’ girl (model Emily Ratajkowski, Ben’s ‘Gone Girl’ co-star).”
Shonda Rhimes and Lena Dunham also tweeted their support. “Ask her about the causes she supports,” wrote Dunham, “not her support garments.”
