GEG Someone told me that a reliable way to tell if a movie was written or directed by a woman is if the antagonists are often left speechless.

Is this true from what you've seen? I don't really watch movies but it struck me as funny.

American Psycho doesn't do this and it was directed by a woman

American Psycho doesn't do this and it was directed by a woman

It's not that "if it doesn't do this, it was directed by a man" but rather, "if it does do this, it's directed by a woman"

There is definitely a simpler way of saying that but I don't know how to.

Women are good at directing degenerate and obscene media btw

People typically phrase this asymmetry using the terms like "necessary" and "sufficient". You could phrase the statement as you have conveyed it as "A Female director is necessary but not sufficient for a movie to have frequently speechless antagonists."

Point break is a classic female-directed film.
