Why are women directors such a rare sight?

1) Female directors just dont seem to send in their projects, possibly suggesting that they dont want to become directors.

2) Having children may also play a part in influencing womens decisions to become directors. To become a director it would mean that you are giving part of your inner self and wouldnt have enough time for children.

3) The film industry itself is a heavily dominated male area which would make it even harder for women to try and break into the industry.

4) There are a small list of screenwriters in this country. It is not expected that 50% of working directors would be female.

5) Women are better organisers and traditionally more estoteric or creative.
