Hollywood: Female directors underdogs?

This I came across reading the CNN website. It's about "Chick Flicks: Where's the Love?" article. Favorite line in this piece is this:

"What's funny is, now people are trying to contact me to do movies," Delpy adds, "like, they're looking for a female director, and it's all about a relationship. You know what? I don't want to make a movie that they want a female director for. To me, first of all, it's condescending. What does that mean? Is it about breast feeding?"

In other countries I believe there's a balance between male and female directors, almost. Most male directors in Asian countries are gay men or on the effem side.

I'd say "The House of the Spirits."

"Cinema Paradiso" and "The Bicycle Thief", says Geek Goddess. "Oh, and Wong Kar Wai's 'In the Mood for Love'."

Another says, "The Shawshank Redemption."

"Dune," one says.

"My Best Friend's Wedding" and "A Touch of Pink," another one says.
