I am really trying hard not to care who Gillian Anderson is dating because there are much more important aspects of her life to focus on (like her new book) but it seriously is getting harder and harder to imagine that Gillian “Just Wrote a Boom Titled We: A Manifesto for Women Everywhere” Anderson is dating Peter “Creator of a Show About The Queen of England that has No Female Writers or Directors” Morgan and not David “Wears a Pussy Hat at Every Concert on His Most Recent Music Tour” Duchovny.

And thats all I gotta say about that.

Yeah the guy who has written a movie, play, and huge TV series centered around one of the most influential and powerful women in history is such an anti woman asshat. Its not as if theres a sea of writers either. Hes the only one. Hadnt looked at the directors.

Yeah. I mean perhaps if we’re going to be concerned about Gillian in relation to a lack of female writers and directors, let’s look at The X-Files. I can smell the testosterone already whenever the possibility of series 11 is mentioned. The main issue some people have with Peter Morgan, if they’re honest with themselves, is it appears that he is currently an important feature in Gillian’s life. And if you don’t believe that it’s romantic and they are just colleagues and therefore he is not important to her, why debate or discuss him? Painting him as a ‘monster’ or ‘anti feminist’ also really underestimates Gillian’s own ability, at 48 years of age, to decide who and what is best for her – whether he is a romantic partner, colleague, or a friend.

It’s quite hard to imagine Gillian reviving and keeping an extremely friendly relationship with someone who compared her to a blow up sex doll once upon a time but you know, who am I to judge?

They made a cast of Gillian’s head for FTF to fill in for her in the alien pod. David walked by a head with its mouth opened and made the joke. Gillian also blurted out an inappropriate joke she was immediately embarrassed about in front of a whole room of people on a panel about David having to ask someone’s name after he slept with them before. She can give as good as she gets. They are both inappropriate with each other and said not so nice stuff about each other back then as well. People got angry about an interview calling Gillian monosyllabic and that implied something not so nice but Peter calling the Queen

monosyllabic and saying she is not an intelligent person compared to the men in her life is not something to find fault with because you don’t worship the queen that is not Gillian? He admits he doesn’t know any of them and has never met them so how is that a fair judgment to make? Most people don’t like Chris Carter either. He is never someone that will be a romantic part of her life but people are still allowed to be critical, call him misogynistic and not want Gillian to be a part of any more of TXF. So what’s your point? Someone being a smart independent adult doesn’t mean they have never let people into their lives that have been mistakes.
