So many, unnecessary shots at Kidman … why?
It’s a movies community and so many people are rude.
Three things combined: woman, money, female empowerment. Most of the replies probably don’t even follow this comm, they just have to share their lukewarm thought about a woman encouraging female empowerment, by being negative.
Lemmy has a big problem with incel-like behavior/thought patterns. Has since I joined going on 2 years ago. The wave I was part of managed to drive off the majority of female users in under 6 months. Just like Reddit but without the popular-platform-userbase that allows some of that shit to be drowned out.
There’s a very large subset of users who don’t like women and want them to stfu and go away. And we female types see that in this sort of post, which is why the new exodus had to create or resurrect -any- femme-focused comm.
And if we keep this shit up they will be driven off in 6 mths again.
Aye the trinity of Lemmy Echochambers: Anti-woman, Anti-religion and Linux.

I was calling your comment dumb.

I would happily invest in unknown female filmmakers but there’s a small problem because I don’t seem to have any piles of investment money lying around.
You’re not a financial mentor then are you?
Sometimes a mentor is teaching you by example what not to do. So, y’know… You’re welcome.
Do you have enough to pay for a theatre ticket, if so then go to the theatre for something other than just Minecraft and MCU movies now and then. Thats support enough
That’s the thing. You’re supposed to start out with rich parents, that way you can invest and lose multiple times and not be bankrupted.
There’s onlyfans, but I don’t think that’s what you OR Nicole Kidman meant.
Financial mentors are notoriously open to appeals to emotion, morality, and risk taking as a result.
Now, Mrs Kidman, I do have a solution, if I may call you Comrade Kidman.
Combine that with getting rid of celebrity actors, this would be great. Need fresh faces.
Seriously, I don’t know any new actors anymore. It’s it just me getting old, or have all the kids gone into streaming and not acting?
Those are incredibly impressive numbers I had no idea she was even in that many things over the last few years. Statistics from the article are promising too, women directed features are up from 4% to 13%. Hopefully that trend continues. There also seems to be lots of opportunity on the TV side as well. Mythic quest has been promoting lots of women directors in the last two seasons.
Is it wierd for me to not want people to be chosen for a responsability that has nothing to do with gender (unlike actors and actresses, were the character being played usually is gendered) based on their gender?
If there is a gender inequality problem in this, I bet it’s the same as a lot of other areas with a similar kind of gender inequality: were people are given opportunities based on who they know and who their parents are - i.e. Cronyism - and those networks of mates mainly contain people of the male gender because of the enviroments were the form and the profession currently being dominated by that gender. However such an environment doesn’t explicitly disciminate against women, it discriminates against anybody who isn’t friend with the “right people” or doesn’t have the “right parents”, quite independently of them being male or female.
Maybe “Financial Mentors” should invest in Unknown Filmmakers in a gender agnostic way and “Take a Risk” - I bet that a lot of great new filmmakers who aren’t part of the “mates network” and happen to be female would gain from it, right alongside those who happen to not be female.
Funny thing is, it’s not a risk.
I havnt watched anything noteworthy with her in a while
Wow, all your comments are this dumb. You should maybe get a real hobby.
fuck you german nazi cunt, Dont you have another genocide to support?
What risk is she talking about? When the world is running out of problems we need to create new ones once in a while…
Financial risk from investing in unknown filmmakers vs investing in something like a Steven Spielberg movie.
Nicole, blink three times if you want another film with a woman director.
