Is Ridley Scott sexist?

It is time we men spoke up for ourselves. For too long, men have been given shallow roles, needing to be rescued by the smarter, tougher, more pragmatic women. It is unfair, unright, ungood, and unacceptable. Look at how men are portrayed in the original Alien--dim (Brett), lazy (Parker), lazy and dim (Dallas), or even British! (Kane and Ash). This blatant sexism has to stop. It reinforces stereotypes that have damaged men for generations. I fear we will see more dim, lazy and British men in Prometheus. Act now! Tell Scott his old fashion views have no place in 2012 or 2087!

and whats all the touch touch about sexist ??? if Ridley is the only one who makes women as main Antagonist why should it be a problem??? don't we have enough men pumping movies like Predator who feel muscle power is the best ??? why cant people think logically that fear is a concentrated conscious what women feel that's why they are best decision makers... they run when there's trouble not stay & get killed

We never know how high we are Till we are called to rise; And then, if we are true to plan, Our statures touch the skies— The Heroism we recite Would be a daily thing, Did not ourselves the Cubits warp For fear to be a King—

@Prom_queen I don’t know if Dallas!Dallas! was being sarcastic or not…either way, I agree with the spirit of his post. By the way, I had already read Craigamore’s post…and once was enough for me. I just happen to disagree with his opinion on this particular subject. Peace, ~N

@ Nuerion I was being humorous but . . . based on your Thing review, It doesn't sound like you have a problem with movies having female heroines per se, just ones where the writer/director/producer decided to make the protagonist a woman based on some "Hey, let's show how sensitive/bold/progressive we are and make another Ripley type character the hero." If that is what you are saying I am with you. The Thing prequel was so clearly that.

@dallas!dallas!: 1. who's Francis? 2. the extra "e" in "clichee" was supposed to emphasis on how "cliche" the thing is, like "clicheeeeee!" ;-) 3. "Men are from LV-426 ..." Good one! :-) You know what? I thought about it and you are right! There ARE too many male whining wimps in action movies lateley who bore us with their sensitive side and personal problems. And of course we have enough toughgirls already. I sometimes wish to get back those larger-than-life Schwarzeneggers and Stallones. They were unrealistic but much more entertaining.

@keepshowkeeper 1. the funniest (imo) side character from the movie "Stripes". Warren Oates says the line when Francis aka psycho threatens to kill anyone who touches him. 2. I get it. Go big! Add a few more eeeeees! 3. Thanks.
