Hollywood, Bollywood are propaganda machines: Rose McGowan
New Delhi Dec 1 (IANS) Actress Rose McGowan called Hollywood and Bollywood propaganda machines saying that they try to tell how a man or a woman should function.
"I started acting in Hollywood around 20 years ago accidentally and through the time I have realized that it is not different from any (other industry). The veil of secrecy is so intense...Hollywood and Bollywood are propaganda machines. They tell how a man should be or a woman should be or a gay should be. It is set up by men in power " McGowan said while speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit here on Friday.
McGowan had accused Hollywood producer Harry Weinstein of sexual assault and started the #MeToo hash tag to raise awareness about sexual harassment. It soon became a movement with people from all quarters coming forward to share their experience of sexual assault.
McGowan feels "for every #MeToo hashtag there s a #Ididit too".
She feels Hollywood is "just a microcosm of the problems across the world".
"It (what s happening now with women coming forward to stand up for the wrong) scares men and it s okay to be uncomfortable " added the actress.
The "Charmed" actress is dedicated to change things for good.
"We need to get back to humanity. And the only way to do is address the issue. I know we can change things " she added.
