It is both possible (and even necessary) to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects.

I'm really thriving and enjoying being a part of a really vibrant creative team and doing creative work.

There’s no such thing as sexism against men. That's because sexism is prejudice + power. Men are the dominant gender with power in society.

I really wanted to explore a range of women who aren't necessarily perfect, heroic women. I wanted to series to influence creative people to include more women in their work, especially historic works.

I came back to this idea of telling the stories of women who aren't in all of the history books. Their names are not up there next to male names that we've know since we were little kids. Ching Shih, for example, was a pirate commander from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. She was one of the most fearsome pirates, why is her name not included when we list the names of great pirates like Blackbeard?

Well maybe the princess shouldnt be a damsel and she can save herself.

Maybe today we aren't being told that our brains are not capable of such things [like programming], but we [as a women] are being told that we are not good enough or smart enough or that our successes do not belong to us.
