It doesn't seem offensive to me.
To: nickcarraway
So she told the truth and gets dragged?
She helped make this cancel culture world.

It just means you won’t see her on the dance floor when you’re watching reruns of Soul Train.
To: ifinnegan
When the Williams sisters play, they play against other women (I would think).
But a female director has to compete with all other nominated directors, regardless of their 57 genders.

People are apparently going to have to be hanged, drawn and quartered like William Wallace in Braveheart by the New Schwartzer Nazis ad infinitum until they realize they just have to keep their mouths shut in front of the BLM commissars.

How ever it was meant, it comes across as unneccessary belittling.
People just can’t be grateful and accept their awards any more. They have to get their dig in.

It doesn’t make sense. You'd understand if you hung out on Twitter for a while.
Be offended is like mainlining dope for those Woke sewer rats.

Ah.
She didn’t get that across well.
You’ve explained it. But it’s a dumb analogy which makes the attempted humor in it wooden.

I don’t necessarily ‘like’ her, after reading her remarks to actor Sam Elliot who dared to dislike her movie, but these remarks right here are not really so bad. She was riffing on everybody. Many award winners get nervous standing up there alone. They chatter on, often unsure of when to stop chattering.

Women film directors are not as common as they should be but it isn’t by necessity and they don’t have a biological disadvantage like athletes ?

It’s not. But the cancel-culture folks need a steady source of victims. It’s kinda like during the French Revolution. Madame Guillotine must be fed.

I don’t know if it’s offensive. But it is dumb. You just got an award for making a bio pic about these 2 people and their dad, then in your speech imply your accomplishment is bigger?! Not so smart. Like do you think somebody is going to make a bio pic about you making the bio pic? Then maybe your accomplishment ain’t that great.

“Women film directors are not as common as they should be”
How do you make that determination?

I don’t see it as belittling them, as much as raising herself. But yes, it was a stupid, unnecessary attempt at humor.

To be fair to the Williams sisters, and all female athletes, there are biological distinctions that create unequal circumstances in sports.
But directing a film is essentially an intellectual endeavor, and I'm not sure we're going to find substantial biological distinctions between the male and female intellect.
To: nickcarraway
It doesn't seem offensive to me. Only because you' re not a paper-skinned liberal fairy looking for things to get offended about.
