This actress got sent a sexist note with a script and people are not happy

Late last night, she posted a note she got with a script for an upcoming movie – and everyone is talking about how sexist it is

Whoops!

The reaction to the note has been nearly universally negative

@rosemcgowan gross. Send it back with a requirement for a tall, fit male costar in a speedo
