Geena Davis Quotes - Page 5

• Durante mucho tiempo, allá por los años 30 y 40, hubo papeles femeninos fabulosos. Bette Davis y toda esa gente tenían papeles increíbles, grandiosos. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, ocurrió algo que no fue sólo "salid de las fábricas", sino "salid del cine". Fue entonces cuando el papel de la mujer empezó a cambiar de verdad.

• Empecé a preguntar a mis amigas si se habían dado cuenta. Ninguna de ellas -feministas, madres, hijas- se dio cuenta hasta que se lo señalé. Entonces decidí plantearlo en el sector. Conocía a mucha gente, así que cuando me reunía con un director, un productor o lo que fuera, les decía: "¿Te has dado cuenta de la escasez de personajes femeninos en las películas infantiles? Y me decían: "Ah, pero eso ya no es verdad".

• Me di cuenta de que en todos los sectores de la sociedad en los que hay una enorme disparidad de género, el único lugar que puede arreglarse de la noche a la mañana es la pantalla. Piensa en conseguir la mitad del Congreso, o la presidencia... Llevará un tiempo, por mucho que nos esforcemos. Pero la mitad de los miembros de los consejos de administración y la mitad de los directores ejecutivos pueden ser mujeres en la próxima película que alguien haga; puede ser absolutamente la mitad.

• Behind the cameras, there's a different problem, which I think is not unconscious gender bias. It's probably categorized more as conscious gender bias. Because everybody's known the numbers for decades. Nobody's stunned to hear there are very few female directors, only 4 or 7 percent. Everybody knows, but it doesn't change anything. It doesn't make people say, "Wow! We should change that." Nothing happens. It's utterly stagnant.
