'Game Of Thrones' Season 6 Star Opens Up About Sexism In Hollywood: Kit Harington Feels Demeaned As A Man? Jon Snow Actor May Give Up Acting?

"Game Of Thrones" season 6 star Kit Harington is reacting to the sexist treatment he receives as a man in Hollywood. According to Kit Harington, the attention he receives for his looks and his body is demeaning for the "Game Of Thrones" season 6 star.

Kit Harington And Sexism

After feminists and feminism have had a heyday crying sexism and inequality, Kit Harington now calls attention to what males like the "Game Of Thrones" season 6 star experience in Hollywood. Entertainment Tonight cites The Sunday Times in reporting that while Kit Harington does not intend to take away from what females experience in Hollywood, the "Game Of Thrones" season 6 star points out that the same sexism issues happen to men, too.

According to the media outlet, Kit Harington feels that the value of his marketability in Hollywood relies much on the "Game Of Thrones" season 6 star's physical appearance. Kit Harington expressed that he often felt himself the recipient of sexism when the "Game Of Thrones" season 6 star is asked to go bare in photoshoots.

Kit Harington May Stop Acting?

Although Kit Harington acknowledges that certain projects require certain types of appearances for role suitability, the "Game Of Thrones" season 6 star emphasized that these tend to extend onto sexism in the industry. Kit Harington further said that the "Game Of Thrones" season 6 star would stop if he saw that he was being given roles solely for his physical appearance.

Kit Harington Gets Grief From Feminism Proponents

Not everyone was happy that Kit Harington should deign to point to men's plight in Hollywood so that the "Game Of Thrones" season 6 star received some negative comments. A Yahoo story on Kit Harington giving this interview proposes that the "Game Of Thrones" season 6 star does not understand what sexism means.

The Guardian reports that Kit Harington received ridicule that the "Game Of Thrones" season 6 star should equate being objectified to sexism. However, sexism is defined as stereotyping and prejudice based on gender against both men and women.

Is Kit Harington then being stereotyped in the sense that feminists think the "Game Of Thrones" season 6 star should not feel any qualms about being objectified because he is a man? Is Kit Harington then right in calling attention to double standards such as what the "Game Of Thrones" season 6 star seems to be experiencing now?
