Kunis raised her worries about the fast growing issue of gender bias in the entertainment industry.
Social Field says Kunis have had experienced quite a number of unjust treatment, insults, placed aside, creatively dismissed and even paid less throughout her career. The actress wrote all of such experiences was based on her gender.
Kunis expressed her strong disagreement on discounting women's talents and will. She refuses for her value to be measured merely by the kind of relationship she has with a man and with an underestimated gift of bearing children. Kunis took the producer's insult as a blunt expression of ignorance towards her and her team's contributions for logistics and creativity of the film. Kunis instantly withdraw her involvement in the project.
