RE: Female Privilege and Sexism
Just because it doesn't affect you, does not mean it does not exist. Your argument at this point is just "it is what it is," which doesn't hold up very well.

If men and women are equal, why does it matter to a viewer that a show be produced by someone of their own gender?
I'm confused about where I implied "it is what it is". Is it my opposition to gender quotas for women?
We live in a highly competitive, meritocratic society. Any firm that hired a less capable man over a woman, would die out because their competitors could hire superior talent. If women want more representation in the workplace, and in upper management, they should achieve it with talent and work, not pressure groups and legislation calling for gender quotas. Discrimination for women is discrimination against men.
It matters because of the desired gaze and audience. Many things portrayed in media are toxic in general.
This is what I've been saying the whole time!
