I'm gonna disagree with that statement outright.  "Women" and "men" aren't faceless monolithic collectives, with common stats and capabilities across the board for each particular set.  It dismisses and ignores some of the most genuinely excellent female characters written and directed by men, and some of the most disastrously bad characters written or directed by women, because it's ignoring the merits and faults of them as individuals.  It's missing the trees for the forest, so to speak.

I wasn’t saying men are incapable of telling a good story with female characters. But all you have to do is look at he representation numbers of women behind the camera in big studio movies to see why people are psyched when a women heads a female-centered show or movie, especially when there are so few of them as well
