>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.

I'm a woman and he sounds pretty based. Unfortunately feminists will go nuts over his comments and say he's a white privileged shitlord.
He should probably think about The Matrix though, one of the best films ever made.

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.
Eli Cook
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.
Isaac Harris
Well, alright I guess. I still consider it a movie made by men.

Nolan Scott
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.
He usually has more salient points to make than "women don't have a sensual or visual eye" though. This interview was from 6 years ago and I bet he doesn't hold the same view.

Its how you explain men make up the majority of great artists and inventors and serial killers

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.

Julian Green
I have been on Sup Forums 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.

would you call mastectomies self-mutilation? what about circumcision. nigga please, surgeries alter the human body all the time. Gender reassignment isn't even purely cosmetic: it's a psychiatric necessity for some people. if someone wants to do that to their bodies you don't have the right to police them or call it mutilation when to them it's a corrective.

yeah it's great and I don't even agree with his zealous politics. His riffs on art are worth hearing,.
just keep in mind he's more into opposing the bad stuff than celebrating the good stuff. It gets a bit rant-y.
Zachary Clark
People that say men and women are equal are deluding themselves. Men have created and done everything. All women did was talk.

that civil rights/equality movements within Hollywood don't have a fundamental purpose for existing. I think raising visibility of minorities and imposing quotas matters and can be effective in the creation of better art. He doesn't.

Michael Bailey
>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.
Chase Bell
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.
Bentley Taylor
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.

Most of the art I have enjoyed in 20 years was done by males. You can't even pull of any discrimination card since the advent of Internet art can spread further.
Women just aren't cut up for making art.
