I'm not sure it's beside the point, as it's a discussion about fairness and equality. Of course, actresses and actors should be paid the same amount for the same performance of same effort/quality/impact. But, the issue of gender equality in Hollywood is disconnected with real inequality (be that gender/race etc.) that results in genuine suffering - and in fairness she demonstrates awareness of that in her article. It's more unfair that there are women working three jobs and more hours than she is and only earning $25k/year. While that level of absurd inequality exists, whether she is paid $10million or $20million, it's really difficult to sympathise with her personal situation.
