Females want other females to be really strong, so there are a whole lot of scripts that are basically just male parts renamed as a girl.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's interesting to play a female character who's not ever using feminine wiles to get things done.
We thought we'd write a good script for women, giving them the fun roles that generally men get.
Really, it hasn't changed for female comics; it's still hard for females to really enter the game.
Often, I'll read a script and the female character's an extension or serves some sort of purpose in terms of the male character's narrative and it just isn't fully formed. But they will be very beautiful. Whether a secretary or a doctor or a vet, they will be very beautiful.
It is a difficult one, as you get scripts where women are just objects.
All the characters on 'Girls' are growing and changing, which is how real people behave, especially when we're young, trying to figure out who we are, doing things that are the polar opposite of our characteristics.
There are so many female roles - particularly for young women - that are just somebody's girlfriend or somebody's daughter, or that are accessories to the main story rather than being three-dimensional characters.
Character is made up of a variety of different things. One of those elements is gender.
There have been a few times when I've read a script and it's really cool but the girl character's just kind of pathetic. It's not going to do me any favours just being 'the girl' in a cool movie.
Nobody is surprised that women writers accurately represent male characters over and over again, no doubt because everybody knows that women understand men much better than vice-versa.
