The question felt too charged to me to earn anything but a charged response. Again, I might be projecting; maybe Jim really was being genuinely polite, with no sass returned, and I was just personally annoyed with the question and read too much into it. I've heard and read too many criticisms of Jim's stuff because of his portrayal of women to do anything but cringe slightly when she started asking. Either way, it's difficult for me to feel much pity for her. That's the kind of question you can't really ask an entertainer without expecting someone to disagree with you.
Dina:
Well, I think it's a valid question. Of course Jin is free to write whatever he wants, but the question is valid.

Fair enough. It's possible that she wasn't aware of the previous criticisms. I still feel like her tone of voice indicated a level of accusation, but that could just be my interpretation. Actually, has Jim ever touched on the subject before? I can't seem to recall him mentioning it in any Q&As I've seen, or in any AMAs or posts in general.
Dina:
I know he has discussed diversity issues before (a criticism I found unfair). I don't remember anything specifically about women.

You wouldn't happen to know where those are, would you? I'd like to be able to listen to/read them, to get a better idea of his stance and whether I interpreted too much from the signing. It's a problem I've had in the past, and refining my interpretations of conversational undertones is an ongoing process for me.
