Various thoughts on a return to Dubai.

I don't know when it happened, but I think I may have become a rather radical feminist. More on this later. My brain is a jumble of possibly related thoughts on women, leadership, filmmaking, grad school, and the wonderful state of Dubai. It is a bit of a spiderweb.

I am nonetheless enjoying the mental exercise, trying to make my brain solidify connections that I know exist. I can feel them, but I can't see them. Which might be precisely the point in the first place--to trust instinct, to not force the rationalization. It's quite a conundrum.

I've been thinking a lot about this. (What is "this" you ask? Yes, I realize I'm being vague.) About being a woman and a filmmaker. About what that means. And well, quite honestly, how it works. Someone, I don't remember who, once remarked to me that the women they knew in the business were more like the men then the men.

This frightens me a lot.
Because I see it.

And well, I like being a woman.
