Universal Gender
From an article in the New York Times about the lack of women directors on Broadway:
ROBYN GOODMAN
Ms. Goodman is a producer whose plays include "Avenue Q" and the forthcoming "Barefoot in the Park."
"Perhaps we should be asking why female playwrights are still marginalized and why their plays are considered to be gender specific while men's plays are considered to be universal."
And this attitude is clearly present in Hollywood, as well. Robyn Goodman, you are my heroine! If there is only one point I hope to communicate in this blog, it is the above sentiment exactly.
Review of the 40 Year Old Virgin is still to come.
