Refuse to accept? "It is/was a stagnant industry when it comes to gender balance,". I clearly stated that the industry is stagnant. I'm just asking for evidence of qualified women wanting dramatically more production roles than they are getting which I believe to be a fair question.

You're taking my comment out of context. When there are are tens of thousands of acting roles in any given year and there isn't a single memorable Asian male who wasn't being violent or nerdy/funny when Asians make up 1.7% of the population, there is a massive representation problem. And I would not advocate…

It's a fair question. How many women are pushed away from the industry due to the men involved in it? I want to see the numbers. I want to see who is pushing for these roles and who is qualified for these roles. This isn't an overnight problem with overnight solution. Arbitrarily creating gender balance is just as…

It's a stagnant industry that has been irresponsible in their encouraging of developing women into these roles. It's also an issue of women developing the skillsets and resume…

Creatively fulfilling, high paying, and powerful? You must not be familiar with film production. It's work. It's actual work. It's not about "womanly nature".

What's your proof of women wanting to be in the production process? I have a handful of female friends in the production process but hundreds of acquaintances and friends who want to be the talent. I think there is a massive demand disparity. How many women study cinematography? How many study sound design?

Lost in these discussions is often… what is the demand from women to be in these industries?
