What are we doing that for in the 21st century? Why on earth would we teach kids that girls are less important than boys? It just made no sense to me.

The most important thing is to change what children see from the beginning. To not create a problem we have to fix later.

Instead of trying to manufacture feelings, use the way you already feel. Or at least add that in.

I do have a very chill - I can watch all my movies. A lot of people don't like to watch their work. I watch everything. All the time.

We are in effect enculturating kids from the very beginning to see women and girls as not taking up half of the space.

Behind the cameras, there's a different problem, which I think is not unconscious gender bias. It's probably categorized more as conscious gender bias. Because everybody's known the numbers for decades. Nobody's stunned to hear there are very few female directors, only 4 or 7 percent. Everybody knows, but it doesn't change anything. It doesn't make people say, "Wow! We should change that." Nothing happens. It's utterly stagnant.

Look at the number of cop shows and lawyer shows and forensics shows... I think there could be room for two quite different examinations of the same political office.
