Tracee Ellis Ross recalls confronting producers on her character's "lady chores"
https://www.latimes.com/entertainmen...-stop-watching
"What I did speak up about from the beginning was, 'Why am I carrying laundry?' 'Why am I the person in the kitchen cooking right now, when this has nothing to do with the scene?'" she tells the Los Angeles Times' Can't Stop Watching podcast. "Even sometimes when it does have something to do with the scene. And I started coining them as 'lady chores.' 'Why am I doing the lady chores?' 'Can’t (co-star) Anthony (Anderson) do the lady chore?' Because I don’t believe they’re 'lady chores.' I believe they’re house chores. And I don’t believe that we should assume, because I believe every relationship is a negotiation between two people about what each of them feel comfortable doing, and I think the more that we portray that on television, the more that that becomes the reality out in the world, or matches the reality that the world actually is." |
