| ...is largely because of Suerhero's content. While it's not actively offensive (I mean, it's not actively anything), it has plenty of cringeworthy moments that lack a particular kind of emotional intelligence, which multiple in my group said would never have looked that way had a woman been in the room. Once that comment was made, we checked the playbill and sure enough the creative team was entirely white men. I have nothing against this group, or white men anywhere in the industry, but obviously they're very well represented, and letting any background or perspective monopolize the creative process makes it more likely that important stones will be left unturned, as they were in this show. | |

I THINK I know what you mean, but : Are you seriously suggesting that all women necessarily have a "particular kind of emotional intelligence" that all men lack? |

| "I THINK I know what you mean, but : Are you seriously suggesting that all women necessarily have a "particular kind of emotional intelligence" that all men lack?" In short, yes. Women and men have different experiences going through life as a result of being in one group vs the other; as such, they bring different perspectives. The same can be said for folks in different groups of religion, ethnicity, of ability. I'm not ranking one over another, just saying that diversity of perspectives is a good thing. |

| Saying that women in general have different perspectives than men in general is not the same as saying that all women have a particular kind of emotional intelligence that all men lack. I think it's safe to say that some men (e.g., Barack Obama) have more emotional intelligence than some women (e.g., Sarah Palin). | |

| "I have nothing against this group, or white men anywhere in the industry......" That's very liberal and accepting of you. Perhaps you need to revisit this statement. I have not seen the play. Perhaps the producers and the other creatives saw something in it that did not come to fruition. Or maybe they think it did but you and others do not. It is a given that women and minorities are under represented in theater. Statements like yours are not helpful in that conversation. |
