Patricia Arquette Continues Tweeting About Equal Pay: 'Don't Talk to Me About Privilege
Patricia Arquette took to Twitter again this morning (February 24) to talk more about equality and equal pay for women and men.
“This is a call to action. Women are being discriminated and it is having serious consequences on them and their children,” the 46-year-old Oscar winner said.
“Don’t talk to me about privilege. As a kid I lived well below the poverty line. No matter where I am I won’t forget women’s struggle.” Patricia added when she received some backlash.
