You want me to take political stand as you have. That is "it is important to open the door by giving a female director the job."
That is a political stand. The difference between your view and mine are priorities. My priority is what is best for the film. Yours is giving a woman the job for the cause of "progress". That is where our views differ. Priorities.
Here is where I would object. If a woman director is clearly the better choice but a man gets the job instead, which does happen often.
I started this thread, in part, to take an
apolitical stand for a change because I needed break from
http://www.politicalforum.com/ where I'm frequently labeled "anti American" or "communist" for being critical of how the justice system treats black people and other issues, such as foreign policy. Then I come here, take an
apolitical position on something and I'm essentially labeled a reactionary. The irony.
If we had this discussion at
http://www.politicalforum.com/ we would be on the same page. Do you understand what I'm saying?
