Equal Pay Rant and Being Relevant: Patricia Arquette at the SAG Awards in January Patricia Arquette’s rant about equal pay is still buzzing around the internet, with most people applauding her speech.  And while I agree with Ms. Arquette that equal pay for equal work (even if the definition of “equal work” is highly debatable) […]
