‘Transgender’ Director on Hollywood Sexism: ‘Sue the Motherf*ckers’

'"I remember three or four years ago being interviewed and saying, ‘Men aren’t doing this on purpose. It’s not their fault. Nobody’s trying to keep women down.’ But something I’ve recognized over the past few years is, I’ve really begun to listen to conversations about implicit bias and privilege.

It very simply makes the world easier for white cis [cisgender, a non-Trans individual] males to have entertainment written by white cis males, where white cis males are the protagonists and the world revolves around them. That’s privilege. Writing is propaganda for the self."

“Let’s sue Hollywood! Sue the motherf*ckers. Sue all of them! It’s been a big week–women speaking up and holding hands,” she said in reference to an announcement that the ACLU has launched an investigation to target gender discrimination in Hollywood.

“Yes...things are changing,” she added.

Furthermore, Soloway believes in affirmative action, a formula is very simple to her:

"That white cis male gaze, they’re like a lifeguard chair, they’re in like a watch tower, way up high naming things and they’re not gonna give up those look-out spots easily. In fact, most of the time they won’t even cop to the fact that they have that privilege.

Instead of waiting for the industry to change or waiting for the guys to change, let’s storm the gates, grab hands with each other, run like Red Rover to those lifeguard chairs, snarl at the bases of those watch towers like starving beast-dogs, boost each other up those f*cking things and tear those motherf*ckers down, like vile lady-dogs."'
