Can there please be a world where women have jobs not because they're women but because they're good at what they do?

so long as that's a world where women aren't denied jobs they're good at because they're women then i agree.

and who says she's upset because Thor 2 won't be directed by a woman?
sounds like she's upset that it won't be directed by that woman in particular, a director she recommended, from the sound of it, based on her previous work.

being proud to have helped a woman into a position no woman has been in before doesn't mean that's the only reason she did it.

sure, Jenkins hadn't directed a superhero tentpole movie before, but neither had Branagh.
Monster was a pretty well regarded movie, it won Charlize Theron her oscar.

That's pretty much what I said. She clearly holds Jenkins in very high regard and wants to work with her and what better movie to have fun while working with someone then a comic movie?

Well the way I read it Portman really wanted to be part of there being the first woman director of a comic movie. And it's not just that I remember reading a headline that said something about Thor 2 and its woman director, if it had been a man they would have said his name not his sex.

because she was in a contract shes upset with the director changing and doesnt want to work with a new one ?

could someone explain this to me im confused lol
