It’s time for us to introduce a new award, ‘Whiny Actress of the Month’, in addition to our Whiny Feminist of the Month awards, such as the one we presented to one of the foremost whine merchants in the UK, Caroline Criado-Perez.
Can there have been a British actress more continuously in employment over the past 30 years, than Amanda Redman? I very much doubt it. And yet we have this whinefest in the weekly TV guide in today’s Daily Mail. Among her idiotic self-serving comments:
What they (‘people in TV’) forget is the demographic of people watching TV is women of our age who’d like to see themselves represented on screen…
I’m actually fine with the ageing process; it’s the way other people regard those of a certain age – especially actresses – that bothers me…
Acting is a love, a passion, it’s not a job, and unless that passion dies, it’s something you’re going to want to do all the time. To be denied that opportunity, simply because you’re female and of a certain age, is unfair – and needs to change.
The woman’s an older version of Special Snowflake, aka Laura Bates, whose relentless witterings can be boiled down to, ‘Life’s not fair – Wah! Wah!! Wah!!!’ Pathetic.
