Smell of testosterone-laden militant feminists all over this article…This has all the ingredients of card-carrying militant feminists rage….first the number game (women make up…percent of whatever), then breaking stereotypes (women making love-comedy movies), and feminists paranoia (“It's a fight sometimes to be taken seriously as a director."), search for symbol of phallus (Oscar), and do-you-really-want-that-to-happen? sort of thing(“I wish we could, and I also wish we could make our movies without people saying, `And she's a woman director.”-then why don’t you stop writing this kind of article?).
The biggest reason is that the products of movie directors are out there for everyone to see. Unlike senior positions in large media companies where you can install skirt-wearing type to mollify feminists relentless bashing for a while, movies that directors make, both male and female, are by definition out there for everyone, including critics and regular moviegoers, to see and judge. And unlike senior female execs who do not stand close scrutiny of public and who can dodge the responsibility when companies are not performing (-that’s men’s fault, right?), while taking all credits for good news (women power!!), if women director make movies, and if it is a bad one, it is extremely difficult to dodge the responsibility for making such a crappy movie.
Perhaps the only hope for feminists to see their gender-neutral film industry is to keep churning out this kind of man-hating articles and impose gender quota for a number of directors who could exist, who could take movies in each category (action, love comedy, or traditionally male-oriented or female-oriented) , the number of Oscar or “Oscarette” which could be awarded to directors of each gender. And maybe you also need “awareness-raising” or mind-control programe for moviegoers who still subliminally rejects women directors.
