Meryl Streep was recently wittering on about how few women run film
studios, major organizations, etc.
Subject: More Inclusion of Women Comment
Dear Ms Streep,
Dear Ms Streep,
I noticed that you consider that there should be “more inclusion”
for women in organisations. On the face of it there is nothing stopping
women getting into any areas of business, commerce or academia however
one of the areas not talked about is why women themselves do not put
their own capital at risk, like many male entrepreneurs do, and build
their own businesses and/or organisations.
Women want to join all the successful organisations built by men
but rarely do they put their money where their mouths are and do it
themselves.
Serena Williams recently said that she is entitled to be paid the
same as Roger Federer because (and I quote) “she trains as hard as he
does” which of course does not and will never make her as good a tennis
player as Federer or draw the commercial income that Federer does, so
why should she get the same money as him? (Although of course at
Wimbledon and other major tournaments, she does, despite playing for
half the time). That is a good example of the female “entitlement
princess syndrome”!
Another example is the film studios where women are always
complaining that the major studios don’t write scripts for women , I
don’t agree as you have played some pretty good roles as a women. But my
point is if that was the case why don’t women write good roles for
women and invest their own money or persuade an equity investor to help
by building a studio like Spielberg, Zanuck or Eastwood have done?
My point is that women in general have become entitlement
princesses who think the world owes them a living instead of really
doing it for themselves rather than on the back of men.
It is still the case, decades after women have had university
educations, that when a woman gets out of bed in the morning every thing
she sees or uses from the alarm clock, toaster, kettle, cooker, iPhone,
television, laptop, roads, water taps, office, carpets, aviation, cars
and coffee cups were invented, designed, manufactured, and maintained by
men. The feminist portrayal of men says something different along with
unjustified insults rather than the enormous credit due to men as
innovators and creative doers rather than whingers.
Its about time women stopped whinging and whining and as Annie
Lennox said in her song REALLY do it for themselves instead of riding on
the backs of men.
Your new film the Suffragettes is packed with feminist inspired scripts so may I suggest that you read Steve Moxon’s book The Women Racket and look up the section on the Suffragettes to get an appreciation of what really happened.
Do let me know when you’re next in London, and I’ll buy you a
coffee (although you’re worth a lot more than me, so really you should
be buying me one!) and explain more about where women in general, and
feminists in particular, have gone wrong.
