To be fair, I don’t think she meant it literally. I could definitely see how in a conversation she meant little to none which is true.
“I remember when I was doing ‘Hunger Games,’ nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn’t work — because we were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead.”
I’m curious how you’re gonna spin that as being taken out of context.

OK, but how does what you think matter to what she said? You’re not her.

she’s talking about an attitude studios had at the time. you have no evidence that this exact conversation didn’t happen. fuck, you can see right wing babies cry and throw a fit right now whenever they see a woman in the lead of any movie let alone action.

That’s a pretty piss-poor attempt at an argument. She specifically states nobody had ever cast a woman as an action lead. And as for not having evidence, that fact that she didn’t deny it, and issues an apology tends to imply she didn’t deny fucking say it.
After #MeToo, liberals have over corrected so much that as soon as a woman says anything, you take it as fact. And if that woman is wrong, you twist her words like some MAGA child with Trump to try and make her right all along. It’s absolutely ridiculous. You know it’s ok to admit that sometimes a woman somewhere will say some stupid shit, right?

you didn’t have to go full MRA but ok that’s a choice I guess

Ah, the good old “if you don’t agree with every woman, you’re sexist” argument. It’s right up there with the “if you criticize Israel you hate Jews” on my list of viewpoints to respect.
