At tonight’s Academy Awards show, activists are attempting to get red-carpet questioners to ask more substantive questions of the women in attendance and are using the hashtag #AskHerMore to tweet about it:
The #Oscars red carpet is open! Let's #AskHerMore and re-direct the conversation!! ??

Some examples. “Girls” star Lena Dunham writes:
Ask her about the causes she supports, not her support garments #oscars #AskHerMore: http://t.co/RdjPR3k6pB

And Patricia Arquette was praised for talking about her charity rather than her manicure:
YES! Patricia Arquette didn't get her manicure for the Mani-Cam today, because she was working on launching her charity! @smrtgrls #Oscars

But maybe E! host Ryan Seacrest didn’t get the message. Here he is saying that he wants to ask Dakota Johnson, star of the BDSM-themed “50 Shades of Grey,” if she took home any of the props:

And then he goes there when he interviews her:

Dakota Johnson kept a flogger from the set of #FiftyShadesOfGrey. She also brought her mom as her date #Oscars2015 pic.twitter.com/qG6m7bja7Z

So, will feminists jump all over Seacrest for this? Stay tuned…
