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.

Celia Walden: But don't you ever feel sorry for modern men? Not knowing whether they should help us with our bags and open doors for us or whether we'll see it as an affront?
Gillian Anderson: No. I don't feel sorry for men.

she says more about how so few people offer to help other people with stuff, but i just like this response.

also the music for this post should win every Grammy each year forever. Elrond's got the time.

poor men. worrying about whether we'll be offended by them opening doors for us while we have to worry about them raping and murdering us :(

The song op! haha you did that. Honestly it must have really sucked for Gillian growing up on this boy's club show. I hate Chris Carter.

You should watch it. I re-watched it like two years ago, still loved it. Oh, but don't watch the non-Mulder seasons. They don't exist.

Oh, and it's easy to REALLY distrust the government again, now that Trump is "p"OTUS.

Watch seasons 1 to 5 and the first movie then stop. Watch episodes 3 and 4 of the last season and stop.

It is dated. and the female characterization was dated even back then!
