It’s great how I tweeted that a common plot point in movies is tired and men crawled out of the woodwork to remind me that movies are fictional which is something I never knew I guess
And like it’s totally weird that that one high profile example of a woman sleeping with her source you know of out of thousands of currently employed lady journalists invalidates my whole point I mean math is wild
Or like did you know that other jobs are sometimes subjected to tired, tropey writing as well? I guess if it’s happening to everyone no one is allowed to complain about it you lean something new about to world every day I am amazed.
Like Obviously that the real reason men got so upset is because female journalists banging their sources is actually good movie writing and not bc it has anything to do with women or sex or whatever you know
Anyway thank you men in my mentions for the deep conversations we have had over the past 15 hours on script writing, character development and gender roles I have learned so much.
