When The Independent first launched in 1986 I bought it and carried on doing so for a few years. It’s now a shadow of its former self, having become a trashy Leftie rag which makes the Guardian look intelligent by comparison.
Our thanks to Greg for pointing us to a story in The Independent whining about the lack of female directors of major Hollywood films:
I assumed the writer pf the piece, ‘Charlie Cooper’, is a woman – Charlie being short for Charlotte – but no, it’s a male journalist. He’s a Health Reporter at the paper. His profile:
http://www.independent.co.uk/biography/charlie-cooper
I see his Twitter address is @charliecooper8 and he has over 1,300 followers, most of them of the female persuasion, we must assume. I shall alert him in a moment to the fact he may win a ‘Toady’ as a perpetrator of gender feminist narratives on sexism. Or maybe we need a new award category, ‘Whiny Man of the Month’? Charlie Boy could be the inaugural winner.
We think it’s just terrible that the film many regard as the best ever made, The Shawshank Redemption, didn’t feature any actresses. Shame on the patriarchy.
The legendary American Honey Badger (anti-feminist) Janet Bloomfield (‘JudgyBitch’) wrote the ultimate piece on the gender of major film directors. Click on http://judgybitch.com and search for ‘Sandra Bullock’.
Justice for Men & Boys 
Perhaps we should go easy on young Charlie. He is, after all, an obvious product of the generation of boys who have grown up to be completely feminised; and of an age, where it feels good to have a lot of women thinking he’s the dogs bollocks (the only form of that appendage women are not trying to amputate these days). He’ll grow out of it, or go through a divorce where he is cleaned out financially just because he is a man, and be unable to see his son(s) because feminism has declared him surplus to requirements as a father, and is repeating the feminisation of yet another generation. Just make him an honorary Toady is what I say. However, if we see an article from him complaining about the absence of women in Robert Redford’s outstanding “All is lost”, all generosity toward him must be summarily withdrawn on the grounds of total, irretrievable stupidity. (if you’ve seen the film, you’ll know what I mean.)

Damn!
I must be a misogynistic woman hating troglodyte so – because off the top of my head, my favourites films are:
12 Angry Men.
The Magnificent Seven (Men)
Blazing Saddles (farting (men) scene make me pee myself laughing )
Schindler’s List
It’s A Wonderful Life (Schmalzy I know)
To Kill a Mocking Bird – though original book written by a woman Harper Lee.
Lord of the Rings (Trilogy)
ALL directed and produced by MEN.
Films I absolutely loathed – and apparently are supposed to appeal to women!
Sex in The City – brought over by a friend, and I yanked it out of DVD after about 10 minutes. Well it was that or bang my head off a wall, so that, THAT pain would distract me from the actual pain of watching this piece of effluent.
Failure to Launch – watched it to get an idea of how Hollywood represents men who stay single – spent most of the time rolling my eyes up to heaven.
(actually, anything with Sarah Jessica Parker in it)
First Wives Club – how to be a total bitch while wearing high heels.
A Knights Tale – gynocentrism Hollywood style.
Unless I missed them, there is not one comment on this article that says – “yeah women are being discriminated against by Hollywood” most are on the theme of – if you want to make films that people WANT TO PAY MONEY to see, and you’re female – stop making shit films, with whiney pathetic female “heroines” in them that obsess about BEING female. Sigh.
