Yes. The British media preferred to talk about trans people peeing rather than this. That's how much they care about women's rights.

Female cinematographers are far and few between. Per the annual industry report the Cellulod Ceiling, female DPs shot just 12 percent of the 250 top-grossing movies in 2024. So, when a high-profile male director hires women it’s a big deal; when he keeps hiring women it’s a big fucking deal.

Need more people? Let them in. Create more paths to legal immigration and citizenship, and quit pestering women to breed. “Pronatalism” is about misogyny and white supremacy, not about the real risk of not having enough current workers to support retired workers and other priorities.
