If you want a vision of the future of the Democratic Party, imagine a liberal woman nagging you about pay equality - forever.

From The Hill:

Actress Debra Messing on Sunday expressed disappointment with E! News during an interview with the network on the Golden Globes red carpet after reports of a gender-related pay dispute at the network.

"We want diversity, we want intersectional gender parity, we want equal pay and, I mean, I was so shocked to hear that E! doesn't believe in paying their female co-hosts the same as their male co-hosts," Messing said, referencing former E! host Catt Sadler and explaining the goals of the "Time's Up" initiative.

Sadler, who had been with E! for more than a decade, announced on her personal blog last month that she left her position after recently learning that her male co-host's salary was nearly double her own.

Sadler wrote that she requested pay that matched "what I know I deserve," and was denied.

That sounds like a good chant for antifa: "We want intersectional gender parity and we want it now!"

Hey Messing, perhaps you could start diversifying Hollywood by giving up your job on "Will and Grace" to a woman of color? "Will and Wanda Sykes" sounds much more progressive.

Why not do the same with your bank account, as well as your home? Surely, a WOC needs it more than you do, no?

Eva Longoria echoed the same:

Eva Longoria piles on E!: "We support gender equity and equal pay, and we hope that E! follows that lead with Catt as well. We stand with you, Catt."

As did Laura Dern:

Just as with Oprah, none of these women called out Weinstein and other Hollywood elites by name and focused on their numerous, ongoing scandals. Instead, they chose to shift the blame by focusing on other issues, such as demanding higher pay in the name of "equality."
