We Have It In Our Heads That

I Wish I Knew Who Said It, But My Favorite Quote Is, "if A Person Can Do It, I Can Do It."

I Would Say Any Film Can Be Called Feminist That Has Female Characters Who Have Agency In Their Life, That Are In Charge Of Their Fate Or Do Important Things Or Take Up Half The Space. I Would Consider A Film Feminist, I Don't Care What It's About, But If The Cast Was Gender Balanced, Where It Would Be Just As Likely That The Boss Or The Best Friend Or Whoever Was Female. It's Really As Simple As Showing Women Being In Charge Of Their Destiny And Giving Female Characters A Voice.

We Have It In Our Heads That Women Only Need To Take Up A Certain Amount Of Space And Then We've Done Right By Them. It's The Same In Every Profession. We Get A Handful Of Women Professors, A Few Female Board Members - That Looks Normal.

I Don't Think Male Characters Are As One-dimensional As Female Characters.

We Are In Effect Enculturating Kids From The Very Beginning To See Women And Girls As Not Taking Up Half Of The Space.
