I was absolutely astonished by an onslaught of comments expressing their absolute shock that IFLS is run by a woman.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The day has to come when it's not a surprise that a woman has a powerful position.
Many a woman has suffered at the hands of a Paul Morel. There's more than one way of being brutal.
I think the media's a little frightened of women.
I trust it will not be giving away professional secrets to say that many readers would be surprised, perhaps shocked, at the questions which some newspaper editors will put to a defenseless woman under the guise of flattery.
It's every woman's tragedy, that, after a certain age, she looks like a female impersonator. Mind you, we've known some lovely female impersonators, in our time.
People were always able to look at Bettie Page and see what they needed her to be and she gave them that permission to do so. So in that way she's a feminist but I don't think she was ever trying to be.
As far as I'm concerned, being any gender is a drag.
There are so few women in general who aren't completely threatened and confused by other women's success. It's very disappointing.
If more women are in leadership roles, we'll stop assuming they shouldn't be.
Women look at the full measure of the man, not just one comment.
