Probably the oldest gender stereotype says that women are more emotional and therefore act more irrationally than men in the same position. Prejudice regularly finds its way into the discussion, and not just in politics. It was also a topic in Hollywood.
But is it even true? If you believe actress Jennifer Lawrence, it doesn’t.
“Women shouldn’t get this role because we’re just so emotional,” the actress mimics the criticism in The Hollywood Reporter interview. “I worked with Bryan Singer,” she says of the “X-Men” director, who has been accused of sexual abuse. “I’ve seen emotional men. I’ve seen the biggest outbursts on set.”
Instead, she explained, it was much more harmonious to work with female directors. “There weren’t any major arguments,” she says of her own experiences. “It was incredible not to be surrounded by toxic masculinity. To get a little break from it,” Lawrence said.
“We had different opinions and listened to each other. Sometimes I was wrong and learned that I was wrong, and sometimes I was right,” says the “Hunger Games” star.
Lawrence’s latest film “Causeway” was directed by Lila Neugebauer. “[She’s] my third female director and they are the calmest and best decision makers I’ve ever worked with. I absolutely love working with women directors,” Lawrence explained in the interview, which also included her fellow directors Emma Corrin, Danielle Deadwyler, Claire Foy, Michelle Williams and Michelle Yeoh attended.
