Yeah, I really didn't know about it much until I met my wife, and started hearing about all the shit she's had to deal with as a woman in the tech industry.
Nah, she's great
I think you are missing the point. First you gain power and a platform, then you push back. You can't do it before, as you said. Your parents had to do what they had to do, for you. But were either of them got promoted and scaled up to a position of authority, you bet they should then use that platform to fight injustice.
It's not just the butt of jokes, it encourages fat shaking, abuse to ugly people, ect. Meg might have had a point at one time but the character is literally the joke a woman has to fit a certain criteria or she's trash. I can't look at any other way to read it.
Sort of?
She was bloody terrible in that film.
It's not a very fair complain regardless, given how pretty much every actor finds themselves cast in certain roles based on their visual appeal. What kind of roles has Cate Blanchett taken up where her looks were entirely irrelevant?

Charlize Theron had a few roles where she was definitely not cast because of how she looks.
How she usually looks like
How she looks like in Monster
Goddamn, Lacey Chabert must be bitter as fuck.
I appreciated that.
Yes, this is the part that matters...
This is great. In your attempt to attack out of touch Hollywood elites, you attack one of the few actresses who was a poor immigrant to America for being supposedly out of touch with the suffering experienced by poor immigrants.
You're taking all the wrong lessons here.
What lessons are there here? Some unnamed person made an empty clichéd threat against a star and (shocker here) it came to nothing. That doesn't make Mila Kunis an inoffensive presence on a movie screen.
