“I feel like there’s a lot of very strong female characters on TV at the moment,” McGrath said. “Especially in the DC world, we’ve got great women. I think that helps people open up to the idea that a woman can be more than the sidekick or the love interest. People are willing and excited to see female-led superhero [movies] and dramas. I think TV has helped that. I think we’re in a new age where TV is leading movies and not the other way around. I think that’s good for all of us.”

“Have A Clear Intention and Do Your Fu***ng Work”: Women Creators Talk ‘The Female Lens’ at SXSW

“There are a rash of comedies where the way that they show that women are free is that you read the script, and it’s like, She wakes up, who’s that next to her, she doesn’t care, rolls out of bed, takes a hit from the b**g, see you later, calls her friend, like hey dude, and it’s a woman that she’s calling… It’s like, why do you have to show that this woman is unreal, reckless, and really really overcompensating, to show that she’s free?”
