In her moving coming out speech on Friday, actress Ellen Page talked about how “sometimes it’s the little, insignificant stuff that can tear you down.” She continued:
I try not to read gossip as a rule, but the other day a website ran an article with a picture of me wearing sweatpants on the way to the gym. And the writer asked, “Why does [this] petite beauty insist upon dressing like a massive man?”
Page’s response: “Because I like to be comfortable.” She followed that unimpeachable sentiment by adding, “There are pervasive stereotypes about masculinity and femininity that define how we’re all supposed to act, dress and speak. And they serve no one.”
The article Page was referring to appeared on the E! Online website. The headline: “Hot Mess Alert Again! Ellen Page Rolls Her Hobo Style Into 2014.”
An excerpt of that story, archived by IMDb, reads as follows (emphasis ours):
Not only did we write a whole post about Ellen Page dressing way too much like a street-sleeper, but we followed up with a piece begging her to undergo a Style 180 in 2014. And now, this. We’re starting to wonder if the former Juno star is actually homeless… Obviously that’s not the case, but then why does the petite beauty insist upon dressing like a massive man? If this is some attempt at going incognito, it’s not working. And if things are so bad on the film front that she’s resorting to Salvation Army style, please tell us how we can help. We’ll make calls! Hell, we’ll write scripts!
The IMDb excerpt links to the full article, but that page on the E! Online website is now blank. The story is also absent from E! Online’s archive of “Hot Mess Alerts.” Those stories, which appear under the byline JJ Moore, include “Hot Mess Alert! Julianne Hough Is a Kindergarten Farm Girl in Denim” and “Hot Mess Alert! Vanessa Hudgens Is a Wedding Day Hobo.”
Cached versions of the Page “Hot Mess Alert” via the Internet Archive also don’t reveal the content of the original E! article.
”Pacific Rim failed in giving us female heroes
The women in the film/comic are only given agency by men and only exist to serve men.
case in point - there are three female Jaeger pilots. Of these three, two pass out during a climatic battle, leaving the male pilot to struggle and win alone. (Pentecost and Raleigh) the other female Jaeger pilot from Russia gets a cameo, and dies with her husband.
In the comic, there are three women characters. One is the sister of Pentecost, who only flies (and then dies) as an impetus to get her brother into the war. The other is the friend of Pentecost’s sister, who then becomes a Jaeger pilot (passes out and later dies of radiation poisoning) but not before becoming part of Pentecost’s ‘family’ in a mother role to adopted daughter Mako.
Note: Mako is Pentecost’s daughter who is coddled, and only Raleighs intervention allows her to become a pilot.
The lone female scientist had an affair with her older married Prof, and he gives her a job on the Jaeger project so they can rekindle their affair. She falls in love with a pilot creating that pesky love triangle. Oh and by the way, she ‘creates’ the Drift by accident, leaping into the link blindly to save her lover, so at the end, it’s not scientific acumen that rescues humanity, it’s Lurv. The Prof literally says this at the end of the comic.
Note: Caitlin (the scientist) is explained as a naive dependent protege of the Prof, when he considers her ‘grown up’ she is allowed by him to join her lover Sergio. Blech.
In conclusion, if you are one of the few female characters in this universe, you exist as a sister, a lover, a mother, who is only given agency by a male character - it’s so blatant it’s silly - there isn’t a single instance of an independent female, or even a pair of female Jaeger pilots, so when this dreck is handed to you as an example of female empowerment, throw it all back.
