- Aaron Sorkin (follow and join the #LadiesinFilm tag on Twitter to prove him wrong with quotable lines from women across film history). #geenadavis4eva (via nonaswriting)

I have two words for you, Sorkin: AS IF

(via amandahess)

And who’s fault is that Aaron? The writers. You done fucked yourself over there.

Also, GROSS overgeneralization. I don’t think I’ve ever dated a girl who couldn’t quote Caddyshack or The Godfather. Check your sexism, dude. No matter how good you are at what you do, you have no right to be an asshole.

I dont agree with the automatic hate on Aaron Sorkin for this quote.  Aaron Sorkin hasnt written and directed every film in history, and sadly what he is saying is a little true, women don’t get great or major roles in film and television. But lets think about two television shows that Aaron Sorkin has written and created…

THE WEST WING

STUDIO 60

Not only are these well made, well written, praised and watched in mass television shows, but they both have strong, female leads that were written and created by Aaron Sorkin. Yes this quote isnt the most well versed, politically correct statement to make but I dont think the heart of the statement is “Well Ladies, you are unable to do a task that men can do, suck on that” but rather “Not so many great roles, let alone great lines have been written for women”.

As a woman (who can quote The Godfather and Caddyshack FYI) I dont enjoy the mass generalisation of this quote but I also do not believe the man who wrote the characters C.J Cregg, Abbey Bartlet, Deborah Fiderer, Harriet Hayes, Amy Gardener, and Jordan McDeere is a sexist.
