What are your thoughts on women directors?
>There's something about the medium of film itself that I think requires the male gaze.
What would that be?
>We're watching, and we're aroused by looking, whereas I don't think women respond that way to films, just because of how they're built.
You don't think they have an overt level of arousal?
>[They have one] that's not so stimulated by the visual. I think, to a degree, all the women I named aren't particularly visual directors. You could argue that Lost in Translation is beautiful, but is that [cinematographer Lance Acord]? I don't know. Regardless of the business aspect of things, is there a reason that there isn't a female Hitchcock or a female Scorsese or a female Spielberg? I don't know. I think it's a medium that really is built for the male gaze and for a male sensibility. I mean, the best art is made under not an indifference to, but a neutrality [toward] the kind of emotionalism that I think can be a trap for women directors. But I have to get over it, you're right, because so far this year, two of my favorite movies were made by women, Fish Tank and The Runaways. I've got to start rethinking that, although I have to say that a lot of the big studio movies I saw last year that were directed by women were far worse than the sh***y big-budget studio movies that were directed by men.

They were still men when they made The Matrix
>>70761940
Publically dude, they've said that they hid their shit inside before transitioning. Lana was on low dose female hormones at the time before fully coming out.
I think it's largely true. Women, on the whole, are more attuned to principle and rationalism while men are more attuned to experience and idealism. The entire idea of taking something and breaking preconceptions of it to make something new, or just exceptionalness in general, is more in line with the natural strengths of men. Women have the strength of being better at being mediocre, if that makes sense. Women are better at making by very well while men either transcend or crash and burn. It's something you see in school, science, art, business, just about everything.
>>70762013
Well, alright I guess.
I still consider it a movie made by men.

he's borderline contrarian and reactionary to modern gender/social politics. he hates SJWs and rails against political correctness at every opportunity, mostly through his podcast which every episode starts with a 15 minute screed against milennials.

Its how you explain men make up the majority of great artists and inventors and serial killers
>>70762442
women haven't been given the same opportunities or airtime because of a self-sustaining bias that presumes men are more important, thus they're given more focus and the cycle continues.
Then when women try to do something mainstream, manbabbies freak out.
>>70762318

I have been on 4chan over a decade and that goes in the top ten dumb as fuck comments I have ever read.
Self-mutilation and body hatred is a healthy attribute? Don't be a idiot. Trans people are mentally disturbed. No further proof needed then the unproportional rate of suicide they exhibit after the transition, or the desire to go back to their original sex that many claim.
Also being "mentally disturbed" isn't a big deal. PTSD, ADD, ADHD, and all that shit just needs proper meds and therapy. I would say a trans mind would be more akin to autism or schizophrenia though but even those can be treated.

gender as being discussed today is mostly the result of decades of social construct. It's fluid, but society has accrued rules that make it seem rigid. Barbies, the color pink, ponies, for instance: all considered female even though there is no reason a male can't be equally drawn to such things.
If you don't feel an affinity to your gender, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to pursue your intuition or turn your back on your birth gender completely.
The only thing stopping those people: folks like you who think sexual organs should dictate behaviour.

>>70762050
>Women, on the whole, are more attuned to principle and rationalism
The evidence clearly demonstrates the exact opposite.
Men are far more willing to make decisions that discriminate against themselves, if it benefits society as a whole.
Women are far more willing to make decisions that benefit themselves at the expense of society as a whole.
Police, firefighting, military, even business, have all been made worse because females refuse to discriminate against themselves for the benefit of society. That's why standards of performance, and the quality of service, has been lowered over the past 40 years.
>>70761693
Eliis is a world renowned troll. He constantly says shit just to get a rise out of people. He's been like that his entire life. Doesn't mean he's never serious and he's completely right in this instance. The world's greatest artists are and have always been men.
>>70763280
in what world does preferring things typically attributed by society to females as a male make you not feel an affinity to your gender?
Everything you listed is(thankfully) not exclusive to any gender, despite your use of societal constructs as a boogeyman
Last i checked, I'm allowed to like ponies without secretly wanting to be a woman and without being branded a ponce.
That being said, I'll happily indulge people in their fantasies but i'm reserving the right to be critical on the entire subject
Lastly, no matter how hard men like to think they're women, it won't change the obvious physical differences between the two genders, excluding the sexual organs.

I do not seek art made by men. I, in retrospect, can note that most of the art I've enjoyed was made by males. I really don't care if they have a vagina or dick, that doesn't change my enjoyment of the work. It just so happens, most of them (overwhelming majority) have a dick.
>>70764628
More like greater opportunity = greater chances for better outcomes.
>>70764583
>more voices, more minds, more variety = better art.
Look to your family. I happen to be white. In my white family there are atheists and a priest. There are fascists and coexist liberals. There are very intelligent people and dim stoner burnouts. We have people who get along and people who haven't been on speaking terms since the Vietnam war.
You don't need minority "voices" to have a diverse range of artistic works. Hell, most of them just bitch about slavery or whitey anyway so it's not like it's some grand tapestry of themes you're missing out on.
>>70764680
forced diversity = equal opportunity in your mind?
>>70764571
I don't dispute that, to a marginal degree, the creative output of men vs women has a biological origin. I just think that all of you are not fully grasping how immense and unrelenting the social pressures women are put under to de-prioritize their work over other social obligations, especially in the creative industries.

you can't compare mastectomies or circumcision to SRS
one procedure in the overwhelming majority of cases is to prevent or treat breast cancer or to alleviate back pain.
the other has religious connotations in some parts of the world, is a remnant of a puritan era in other parts , and is used as a last resort for phimosis in other cases.
When a patient asks a practitioner that he's tired of having limbs or eyes etc. and asks you to help him , the usual response is prescribing therapy instead of amputating or gouging him because they realize their patient has clear mental problems.
in the case of gender dysmorphia, which is another form of body dysmorphia like the examples I mentioned, the response should be the same.
Not to mention that the surgery doesn't relieve the patients obsession with being a different gender and leads to a higher chance of suicide
He's not wrong but shouldn't limit to film
There will never be a female Mozart, Chopin, Van Gogh, Jesus etc...
>>70764690
>You don't need minority "voices" to have a diverse range of artistic works
this is just idiotic. You don't need white voices to have a range of artistic works either. Doesn't stop "more" from equalling "more." Like, literally.
>most of them just bitch about slavery or whitey anyway
and this is plain racist, which I guess shouldn't be surprising given where I am.
I suppose that's where my argument falters: I can't have rational discussion with people who assume minorities are inferior artistically even though that "whining" you decry literally invented blues and by extension rock'n'roll, etc.
this is a retarded level of discourse so I should probably stop here.

if your saying that blacks achieved artist success without forced diversity and in a time where blacks actually had codified laws on the books against them, doesn't that undermine your thesis that forced diversity is the only way we can hear minority art forms?

i think some people are a tad bit uninformed;most people assume the creator of a show writes it or at least helps write the majority of a show when in reality that isn't true (think of how a lot of people assumed abbrams worked on a majority of lost but he was actually busy with various other projects)
You'd be suprised by how many shows have female writers and directors credited but most people don't care about doing this sorta research.
As for the reason there aren't more female directors i think it is because no production company is going to finnance large projects to an ammateur director;Most of the current well known female directors come from money or families that already work in the industry so they had that encouragement and network to fall back on
i think in the future we will see more because of sjws or because women will feel more welcomed to the field but probably not because we china now.

I know you are baiting, but hear this.
The guy that was head in charge of helping people in Singapore to transition into females and was a huge 'celeb' because of this there, said that after he was forced into retirement that he only lied and believed none of it. He literally let everyone hear what they wanted to hear because it was easy money, he even wrote a book based on his experience with trans people and is still a revered psychologist and therapist.
Seriously, seek help. Even the US HAD military programs involved with turning people gay by messing with hormones and weaponizing it, some guerrilla warfare to destabilize enemy platoons and chemistry in war.

Eh my dad was a thrill seeking sociopath. I've almost died in 3 scuba misadventures. We were almost lost at sea when he decided to sail from North Carolina to Florida straight, with zero communication or weather consideration. The first time I had a near death experience in a plane was when I was 4. I've been unknowingly lead into cliff areas while skiing. I was driven off an icy cliff driving down a snowy mountain on icy roads. I've been a passenger in 6 total car accidents. I've almost been shot, I've been stabbed, I've almost been drowned when I fell between a boat and the dock, I was in a head-on motor boat collision, I've had concerning run-ins with sharks when taken snorkeling at dusk on a reef with breaking waves, I've unknowingly skied in unmonitored avalanche zones with zero protective gear, I was left in Georgia when I was 13 after an argument about whether or not my mother was a cunt. My first memory is hiding behind a chair while my dad smashed things when my mom tried to divorce him.
I understand how scuba divers can panic and rip their regulator out and kill themselves. I understand hypothermia. I understand traumatic brain injury. I understand how terrifying nature is and how weak we are. I've touched the void. When I heard about the crash, my first impulse was relief.
But more importantly, I like how women have tits.

My mom did raise me. My dad mostly just gave people PTSD. He killed his two best friends in an accident that was caused by his reckless, thrill-seeking decision-making. Almost getting killed in a plane crash when you're 11 isn't awesome. Almost capsizing on a catamaran in a fucking nor'easter when you're 13 isn't awesome. Car, plane, boat, scuba, and skiing related post traumatic stress isn't awesome. Learning that your 2 male father figure role models where killed in your belligerent dad's attempt to fly a single-engine airplane into a storm in the middle of the night isn't awesome. Having your skull crushed and spine snapped backwards when your plane lands upside down and collapses on you isn't awesome. Having to identify the remains isn't awesome.
His face was purple from being suspended upside down and all the blood pooling for hours before a rescue team could find the plane. The mortician made an effort but didn't really manage to set his jaw correctly before we had to identify him. One of his eyes wouldn't stay closed. They cremated him but gave us back his clothes and personal belongings. We threw them away in a Wendy's dumpster. They were covered in blood and piss.

I've read decent fiction by women.
It's okay for women, especially gay women, to stereotype and talk down upon men. But it's not okay for men, especially gay men, to do so.

Mine was too. He was also a wife beater, terrible with money, and kept using my mother to get his ass out of debt. We haven't lived with him in 11 years but he still won't fuck off and leave us alone. He genuinely has no idea why nobody, even his former friends, wants anything to do with him anymore. Fucking insane.

Considering they're not the ones killing, raping, stealing, gambling, fist fighting, failing education, or suicide-ing in nearly the same frequency as males, I'd say they're far more rational.

false
female committed suicide 4 times more than the average male, but male die more because they were effective and went through with it
yeah, that's right. even women suck shit when it comes to killing themselves
>>70782008

>Females attempt suicide three times more often than males. As with suicide deaths, rates of attempted suicide vary considerably among demographic groups. While males are 4 times more likely than females to die by suicide, females attempt suicide 3 times as often as males
i fucked up about the 4 times, but the point stand

ellis left the question ambiguous, and it's not that important for the message of the novel/movie. BUT I believe he did, there are some evidences that they happened. Also the screenwriter for the movie said that they happened. The movie makes it a little more confusing because the ending spans in less than 24 hour, while in the book he visits Allen's flat after 6 months.

People can do what they want with their bodies, but people shouldn't be expected to share and encourage their delusion.
If a guy wants to act like a woman, have surgery to look like a woman and go by a female name, that's fine with me. I'll even placate him by using female pronouns, but he still isn't a woman.
In the same way I have every right as a human being to identify as a tea kettle. I can make myself look like one and believe with every fibre of my being that I am a tea kettle, and I'll very much appreciate if people would respect my choices and treat me like a tea kettle, but I'm not so self-important or so outright insane that I actually expect rational human beings to believe that I am one.

No, they are just playing it safe. It's women's evolutional strategy. Unless they are absolutely horrible in every way, a woman is going to reproduce because they have the vagina, which is basicly a limited resource, the bottom neck of reproduction. That is why women never have to risk, bad at taking risks and decision making and prefer security over freedom. That's the reason they never excel at anything and why also the reason why they tend to vote left.

Sounds like Bret's trying to justify deep-set feelings of artistic mediocrity and misogyny. I note that the film adaption of American Psycho, widely considered to be Ellis's best work in a long and sordid history of terrible writing, is far superior to his hilariously bad novel.

I agree, especially when thinking about Sophia Coppolas films, though great, are all generally about the same emotional story.
One exception tot he rule off the top of my head is Lynne Ramsay, who directed Ratcatcher and We Need To Talk About Kevin, which especially the later, are extremely visual.
>>70762050
>Women are better at making by very well while men either transcend or crash and burn
So much this. Men takes chances and doesn't care that much about what others think about them, women just want to fit in. Its due to evolution;
As hunters-gatherers the alpha men collected harems and had extremely many children, while many of the betas didn't have children at all. However pretty much all women reproduced so reproduction for females was pretty much guaranteed. Therefore men had to evolve to be different and take chances while women could get by fine just by following the pack.
>>70787241
Gothic horror - one of the best genres in literature - wouldn't be recognizable without all the women authors who contributed to the canon.
But i think there's too much fetishization of women as having a 'different touch' in the arts compared to men, not really. Women were/are socialized differently (by other women) and this yields different results. It's not exactly surprising to hear that a young girl that grew up with her dad who was a bricklayer would be surprisingly interested in doing industrial work.
>>70761786
I'm a woman and first of all, trannies aren't real women and even if they were, the guy was still a man when the Matrix was made.
Secondly, yes, of course my first reaction to this is to be offended. He's basically saying we're inferior (unable to have a "male gaze") and naturally prone to making shittier movies ("emotionalism"). Imagine a woman director saying that about a man, you'd lose your shit as well.
I don't think I'm less able to recognize a beautifully filmed piece of kino but hey, he could be right, for all I know. He could be wrong tho. I don't know and he can't no either since we can't look into each others heads. Why does he presume he knows how the female mind works? Clearly we just can't figure each other out.
In the end, I don't really care. Wasn't American Psycho directed by a woman? Did he dislike it?

First part is shit.
The rest is right. Women has better % of mid range IQs but no notable IQs or retarded IQs.
They are decent at being mediocre. While Males can be retarded , mediocre or geniuses.
