A woman's experience is different from a man's in virtually every respect, including how she is treated by the media.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We are still living with a double standard. I know it. Every woman I know knows it, whether you're in the media as a woman, or you're in the professions or business or politics.
Women's particular experiences continue to shape not just their points of view but their actions, in the United States and around the world.
There is definitely a way in which women are raised to be less proactive, less business-oriented, and less willing to jump into creative no man's land. I think media has more of an influence on how we perceive gender identity than anything else.
You can't leave out half the world's experience and expect to address all the problems. Women communicate differently and process information differently, which leads them to resolve conflicts differently.
This is the problem today. Men and women have switched places. The woman now acts more like the man.
Women have to be pure and respectful.
I'm just interested in all of the different ways that a woman can be. We don't have enough, when it comes to American film, that shows all of the different complexities and ways that a woman is interesting and mysterious and dynamic and really complicated.
I think it's fair to say that women have a different level of intuitiveness that allows them to perhaps handle situations a little bit different.
I think somehow men understand other men's need for respect differently than they understand it for a woman. I'm disappointed to have to say that, but I think it's undeniably true.
The idea that women journalists bring a different taste in stories or sensibility isn't true.
