A few days ago, director James Cameron referred to the box office smash (and female lead and directed) Wonder Woman as a “step backwards” in film making. But the movie’s director, Patty Jenkins, is having none of that mansplaining.

“James Cameron’s inability to understand what ‘Wonder Woman’ is, or stands for, to women all over the world is unsurprising as, though, he is a great filmmaker, he is not a woman,” she tweeted.

The interview he gave was for the Guardian, and he went as for as to say Wonder Woman is “an objectified icon, and it’s just male Hollywood doing the same old thing! I’m not saying I didn’t like the movie but, to me, it’s a step backwards.”

Patty also referenced a positive comment James had made prior for her film Monster, which earned Charlize Theron an Academy Award. “His praise of my film … and our portrayal of a strong yet damaged woman was so appreciated. But if women have to always be hard, tough, and troubled to be strong, and we aren’t free to be multidimensional or celebrate an icon of women everywhere because she is attractive and loving, then we haven’t come very far,” she wrote.
