For those who aren’t aware: I’m an avid YouTube viewer. I
can literally lay in bed for hours upon hours and view dozens of videos
without giving it a second thought. This past week I was doing just that when a
recommended video came up on the side and caught my eye.
What really grabbed my attention for this particular video was that in the thumbnail it pictured actress Caitlin Stasey, who most known for her role as Kenna in the
CW’s Reign. Caitlin is one of my favorite people to follow in Hollywood mostly because
of her blunt realness.
Whenever I watch any interviews with her or go through her
social media accounts I always see posts or comments on where she stands on a
variety of issues. Regardless on the question of if I agree or disagree with
her stances, I always hold people who aren’t afraid to freely speak their minds
in extremely high respect. So needless to say, it took me less than a second to
click on that video.
This specific video focused on Caitlin’s experience with gender
inequality and trying to follow women's standards in Hollywood, but the undertones were
centering in on a much bigger picture. Throughout the video, as she told her
stories and reflected on events in her life, she was slowly removing one
article of clothing after the other until finally she was just left in her
underwear. I didn’t really understand what was the point of having the person
being interviewed strip down but the more videos I watched the clearer it
became.
