Portman responds to McGowan’s criticism – and agrees she was not “brave” for her Oscar garment (via toofab)
"Some thoughts on Natalie Portman and her Oscar 'protest.' The kind of protest that gets rave reviews from the mainstream media for its bravery. Brave? No, not by a long shot. More like an actress acting the part of someone who cares. As so many of them do," McGowan argued. "I find Portman's type of activism deeply offensive to those of us who actually do the work... I just want her and other actresses to walk the walk.
However, Portman has actually worked with three female directors on feature films, while two were omnibus films with multiple directors: Mira Nair for "New York, I Love You," Rebecca Zlotowski for "Planetarium" and Vanita Shastry for "The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards.
McGowan went on, "I was at a Women in Film event that you spoke at once, Natalie. You reeled off depressing statistics and then we all went back to our salads. I quickly realized you and the other women speakers are just... frauds. You say nothing, you do nothing." Rose promised to keep "raising my voice and fighting for change without any compensation," because to her, "that is activism."
