'It's not about a woman': The Odyssey actress whines about gender representation in ancient epic
Writer and Comedian Michael Loftus reacts to actress Lupita Nyong’o complaining about the lack of female representation in the ancient epic ‘The Odyssey’. “It’s like she’s just spouting talking points … it’s not written from their perspective at all, it’s not about a woman,” Mr Loftus told Sky News host James Morrow. “This is about a guy trying to get home to his wife … evidently, you can’t make some women happy, and she’s going to find something to complain about.”
