She runs Starwars..... its NOT for support of women, that are film makers.

You cannot just wear and say things, about "the force" when you manage the IP of starwars.
Imagine if George Lucas wore a shirt that said "the force/future is male".... why you be against that?


1) The Force has no gender. It's a supernatural bodyless power that any Force user can tap into. 
2) If the Force is entirely female, then the Dark Side is toxic female energy, effectively going against the "pure and wholesome female" narrative.

"Not even the same phrase. The Future Is Female is a feminist phrase from the 1970's"

Thats the entire point, and I was aware of that.
Its all leading to the same place, coming from the same place.
This is why the "force is female" shirt stuff is bad, and why if you run billion dollar's IP, you shouldn't be pulling feminist stunts like that.

The festival is for women film creators. 

If there was a culture where men were struggling to get into it, yes, they should have shirts like that. Pushing for equality means raising those people up to the same level. 

And yes, everyone should be pulling feminists stunts, and people should stop being so sensitive about it.
