Despite the fact that Wonder Woman has taken the world by storm both critically and financially, the film did garner a bit of controversy before the film was released. The Alamo Draft House held women only screenings and the director of the film, Patty Jenkins has now weighed in on the controversial female-only screenings. Jenkins stated,
“I actually have sort of mixed feelings about all of that only because I do believe in not excluding anyone from anything,” she told The Frame. “And so, on the one hand, I’m so delighted by those screenings and want people to be able to have those screenings. On the other hand, I can imagine being offended if I’m excluded from those screenings, particularly because Wonder Woman herself has a very, very passionate fan base, many of whom are men. And many of whom are men who are disenfranchised from their own gender or their own identity. And I would never want to leave them out of anything, you know? … I could switch to either side of the argument, but I certainly think it’s wonderful … there have not been that many female-skewed things and certainly there have been many, many male. So I celebrate that.”
Are you in agreement with the directors stance on this issue?
