I hate how box-office failures are blamed on an actress, yet

Summary

This quote expresses frustration over the tendency to place the blame on female actresses for the failure of a film at the box office, while male actors are not subjected to the same scrutiny.

The quote highlights the need for equal treatment and the recognition that success or failure at the box office should not be solely attributed to the performance of actors based on their gender.

Badges mean nothing in themselves, but they mark a certain achievement and they are a link between the rich and the poor. For when one girl sees a badge on a sister Scout's arm, if that girl has won the same badge, it at once awakens an interest and sympathy between them.
