It’s easier for men though I can’t imagine Flo having made an insensitive joke then a year later it all be forgotten because she referenced Charli xcx. There’s not really any young women who are as famous as Timothee right now apart from Zendaya but she’s had the advantage of most people having grown up with her and the fashion that sets her apart. I don’t think Challengers would’ve been a hit if it was anyone else. Compared to like many years ago we’d have lots of very big female stars at once like Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts etc who were all very famous at the same time idk exactly why it’s so different now apart from people becoming more male centered

it’s always harder for women vs men and it’s even harder in any professional setting, esp public ones when the public at large has shifted rightward as backlash to the me too movement, which is ironic bc me too barely even accomplished anything. add to that the fact that our media infrastructure is so fractured, there’s so much content to consume in every format, rising costs with stagnant wages so ppl only seem to go to the theaters for IP, an increased access to celebrities, and the end result is it’s harder than ever for a young actor, and if she’s a woman it’s worse, to breakthrough all of that
