Rachel Confirms s7 Casting Spoilers

I'd like to take this opportunity to say that whether or not you loved/hated Ashley Seaver, Rachel Nichols as an actress is a human being who did not deserve to be sidelined liked this. She obviously loved her job and her co-workers, and is justifiably upset about this. 

CBS pulled the same stunt with Rachel that they did with AJ and Paget last year. Please keep that in mind. CBS might have fixed one of the symptoms by bringing AJ and Paget back, but they have in no way solved the problem of treating their actresses as disposable.

If you can, please send Rachel some love on twitter.

You seem to love the 'it's a business' bullshit excuse to validate what is obviously systemic inequality, as though 'that's just the way it is' should end the discussion. it doesn't.

Yep, I do, because I live and work this industry.

This "systemic inequality" crap that people keep complaining about is 100% viewer created. The female audience will bitch and moan about how the want more female representation on the screen, but when such a product comes out, nine times out of ten they won't watch. Sorry, but people watch television and movies for the men, not the women. It's statistics. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at the audiences for creating that situation in the first place.
