Even though the ’80s sex comedy Just One of the Guys is subversively feminist, gender-role questioning, and transgender empowering, the film’s Director Lisa Gottlieb still had to deal with sexism:

“I fired our first cinematographer because he refused to shoot my shot list during screen tests and kept declaring, ‘Don’t worry sweetie, I’ll make your film look good,’” Gottlieb recalls. “I said, ‘Have you read the script?’ He said, ‘Don’t waste my time, honey.’ So I fired his ass. I did not wish to waste anymore of his time.”

On a personal note I love the blog. Please keep up the good work! It is enlightening to see concrete examples of discrimination. Reading them has helped me to continue to reexamine my possible perceptions and prejudgements of others. Discrimination, no matter how small, limit’s the pool of talent you can draw from.

Unfortunately, I still see these little mistakes made around me all the time by some men (and some women). All I can do is try to be diligent that I don’t make the same mistakes, and point out when a person’s bias may have little basis in truth.
