Reese Witherspoon Demands That Reporters #AskHerMore

Have you ever noticed how women on the red carpet seemed to get asked the same repetitive questions such as, “Who are you wearing?” and “How long did it take you to get ready?” Not to mention the ridiculous mani-cam they have to pretend to be interested in. The men on the red carpet don’t get attacked with questions only referring to how they look, so why should the women? Many social media groups proposed the idea for #AskHerMore during this year’s Oscars red carpet. 


Reese Witherspoon took it upon herself to encourage journalists to ask better questions by Instagramming a photo with appropriate questions to ask the leading ladies. In an interview with ABC, she noted prior to the Oscars, “We are more than just our dresses.” Viewers and pro-feminist groups such as Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls At The Party used Twitter to share their opinions and questions they’d like to see asked on the red carpet. Here are some of our favorites:
