Jennifer Lawrence Says Female Directors Are "The Calmest, Best Decision Makers" On Set And Men Throw The "Biggest Hissy Fits"
Jennifer Lawrence has a lot to say about toxic masculinity, claiming that female directors are much easier to work with because they're calmer decision makers.
The Academy Award winning Jennifer Lawrence was once the world's highest paid actress, pulling in $46 million in the year of 2016. She's known for using her platform to speak out about feminist issues. She recently claimed that she was the very first female lead in an action movie when she filmed The Hunger Games series, completely ignoring Uma Thurman, Angelina Jolie, Zoe Saldana, and many more before her. She then sat down with other actresses for The Hollywood Reporter to discuss her experience with male directors and how it compares to women.
Jennifer Lawrence Says Female Directors Are "the Calmest, Best Decision Makers" on Set and Men Throw the "Biggest Hissy Fits"
Jennifer talked about her experience working with female directors on set, saying that "it was incredible to not be around toxic masculinity" and discuss her point of view freely. She said it was funny for them to reflect on the common conception that women shouldn't be in directorial roles because they're "just so emotional."
"I mean I've worked with Bryan Singer [director of X-Men series]," Jennifer said. "I've seen emotional men. I mean the biggest hissy fits I've ever seen... I've watched men."
The other actresses around the table, including Emma Corrin, Michelle Yeoh, and Michelle Williams, laugh heartily at her recollection. Jennifer also says the three female directors she's been on set with (the latest being Lila Neugebauer) "are the calmest, best decision makers" and she absolutely loves working with them because the experience is superior to collaborating with male directors.
Actresses like Jennifer often make comparisons like this and claim that women are objectively better leaders and more emotionally stable in a desperate attempt to squash the stereotypes that they claim they have been up against for years. It's ironic that feminists like Jennifer complain about having unfair stereotypes placed on them by men, but then they turn around and slap a generalized stereotype on men, claiming they are emotional, hissy-fit throwing individuals who can't control their feelings.
