I am wondering, how many people who are now celebrating and cheering over Gillian’s post about the lack of female writers in The X-Files, not so long ago also wrote why “All Things” is not so great, and how they dislike it? How they never said one positive thing about “Aubrey” which was written also by a woman. Or did they ever acknowledge another woman and her ep “John Doe” which she directed? And did they ever say a word about Kim Newton, a newbie at that time, who wrote “Quagmire” and not praised Darin who was only her assistant? Where their “feminist” was then? And finally, did any of them suggested a female writer for s11 instead of shouting out their support for other male writers as Frank, Vince or David? Where this hypocrisy ends? 

And Gillian had three fucking years to talk about it! She has never before brought up this subject! So why now when the list is already completed? (of course, I know why but go figure it out by yourself).

And does it really that matter if a person with a vagina and not penis will make an episode? Because I thought that the most important should be the quality but also professionalism and ability of the people who are working on the show! The X-Files was created by men and so what? I still fucking love it! This show was and still is my life! I grew up watching it. It made me a person I am today, thanks to those men! There were 208 episodes and not everyone was great but again, so what? I still wouldn’t change a thing because they’ve created the best TV show and iconic characters ever in the TV history! And I am looking forward to season 11 and I believe it will not disappoint!

Also, feminism isn’t about giving women everything only because they have vaginas! Feminism is about equality! Being a woman shouldn’t give you the right to be pushed ahead for doing nothing, to be considered a God and perfection whose no one dares to criticise (yes, I am looking at you who calls others misogynists only because they dared to say a negative thing about another woman)! I want to be respected because of my hard and good work and not because I have a vagina! 

and also…

I am done with the hate towards X-Files and its creators! And I am also done with the hate towards David. Leave him out of it!
