Not 'slam', not 'rip', just stating truth. I believe we can do better. #TheXFiles https://t.co/KGfxLcd4nO

Gillian Anderson points out that out of 207 episodes only two were directed by women and looks forward to the day that changes.

One of my favourite albums, the song you're listening to, OP.

It really just speaks to me.

And of course she's one of the two. I love her and fuck Chris Carter.

I love her, too.

I barely watched the show and STILL knew she was one of those two women directors when I saw that tweet. Chris ain't slick.

I want you all to go to her FB page and read the comments of her male fans. Yesterday the most liked ones were about how "this isn't how it works, you're good, you get hired, it has nothing to do with genre".

Oh lawd, idk if I have the strength.
