British thespian Rachel Weisz is married to Daniel Craig, with the two of them forming almost an inhumanly beautiful couple. While that is all well and good, there is more to Weisz than her marriage. She won an Oscar in 2006 for her performance in The Constant Gardener, and has turned in more than a decade of good work in Hollywood, as well as produce and modeled. Well, in a recent issue of The Sun Times, all of her accomplishments were overlooked in favor of her marital status.
Oh hey @thesundaytimes I’m pretty sure she’s done other stuff apart from marry Daniel Craig? pic.twitter.com/BXCf3hlN9B

While sexism in Hollywood and elsewhere is nothing new, this is a fairly blatant example. As can be expected, Twitter had a bunch of opinions about this newspaper misstep.
@pricetom @_choobacca @thesundaytimes clearly time to start calling Craig “Mr The Mummy Returns” — wrongtom (@TheWrongtom) September 27, 2015
@pricetom @thesundaytimes HAHA! Oscar winning actress is apparently only known for marrying Daniel Craig!

@pricetom @LexingtonSteel @thesundaytimes how is this still a thing — Phillip Dyte (@phillipdyte) September 27, 2015
Rachel Weisz referred to as “Mrs James Bond” in the Sunday Times-hard lines when she’s won an Oscar and has a great career…

@Masterofwhine @thesundaytimes not ‘Oscar-winning’ or ‘ground-breaking’ actress. Nope, Mr James Bond. Awful. — Tabitha McGrath (@tabithamcgrath) September 27, 2015
Mrs James Bond? Really @thesundaytimes #everydaysexism pic.twitter.com/jU1FEVfGFg

While these are all excellent points, I think the less said about The Mummy Returns the better.
