the problem is though that women are often prevented from being involved in writing for shows/movies/whatever, especially when it comes to female characters.

doctor who has a terrible track record with treating the women on the show badly on top of anything the writers say publicly about what they write.

also, look at the movie brave. don't tell me it isn't problematic that the woman in charge was unceremoniously kicked out of writing a movie about the relationship between mother and daughter. no one is denying that men can write decent female characters, but there needs to be more inclusion in women who write those female characters.

I completely agree with all of your sentiments. But, if the secretmaker feels the same, then I think she or he should have made that more explicit. As it is, it can very easily be read as, "men can't write women."

[(Anonymous)]

that has a lot more to do with semantics.

it's pretty clear what the OP meant. indicating that they might have meant something else because they didn't word it a particular way is obtuse.

[a_potato]

It's not at all clear what the OP meant.

The OP states that her/his heart sank upon hearing that the current staff is all male. The OP then links this to the quality of female characters on the show. That very much comes across as if OP thinks that a male staff will not be able to write decent female characters.

Wording does matter. If something can be read in multiple ways (and if it takes extra knowledge* to read it in the correct way), then it's not written clearly.


*extra knowledge in this case being knowledge of the show and some of the crap that's gone on with it in the past few years

Agreed!

Was she kicked out because she was a woman?

There are a million fucking reasons that someone gets dropped from a movie.

She was wanting to focus on the relationship as opposed to sidelining it, IIRC.
