In case the Tonys didn’t reveal it to you… There are many women and people of color who are absolutely stunning directors. Signed, someone who when she wanted to pursue directing as her focus in theatre was told “it’s not going to be easy. People won’t want to make space for you. Take it.”

I mean, I get how the catfight jokes are insulting to men steeped in the patriarchy. But maybe we can just acknowledge the men fighting on twitter is peak conservative men on twitter. Not reflective of some feminine way of being…
