You opened this up by posting your opinion public, so I decide to open this subject up further.
When speaking on "sexism" or "sexist" thought, what makes a sexist in my opinion?

To say the only way a female actor would play roles in a film or series is if she is 
compensated, is, in my opinion, equating the female actor to a hoe.

Your opinion of my work doesn't matter, but your opinion, in my opinion
of what makes a female actor move does matter! Because, many people
have done thing for money, including porn, and only moving for money is
not good for our eternal souls; (rhetorical question) wouldn't you agree?

Either actors ply their craft for the the love, experience, and expanding their resume,
or they are in the wrong business! Compensation comes with exposure.
If the producers, directors, etc., never see a talented person act, the person acting
will wind up like countless others-- talking about when they did a local stage play
at community theatre. Nothing wrong with community theatre!

What I offer is an opportunity to be seen, heard, appreciated on a global
stage-- plying the craft of acting-- and if representation is right for the actor,
he or she will be hired for paid gigs by producers watching & contacting actors for
work from the exposure they get from the web series.

If you say that is not so. We live in two different worlds.
So, no I don't think of female actors as hoes, but in Old England up through
and beyond the Jack The Ripper era-- female actors, hookers & dancers
were thought to be one and the same! No, I don't think that way, (rhetorical question)
do you? So when speaking on the sexist mind, in my opinion, we must be careful not to expose
something we don't know is inside of us-- the sexist thought process.

P.S.
Yes I commented back on your words because they are important, because, in my opinion,
to try to publicly assassinate a person's character who is offering possibilities and opportunity is a sin!
And, it is slanderous and libelous! I wouldn't want to go any further with this. 

P.S.S.
I have told people/spoke highly about the site! And for you, in my opinion, to be so callous, thoughtless to speak on
my opinions in such a way is really unforgivable! I have spoken as nicely as I can about this situation.
It was your right to say what you wanted, but it was not your right to defame me!

Thank you for your comment. If I didn't get comments like yours, I wouldn't know that my words were that potent!
Read what I said again, and see that there are not absolutes in what I said. Absolutes are for smug uneducated
snobs. I said "I would have to assume" that's not suggestion, that is opinion. But, thank you for your opinion!
You know what they say about "opinions". And again, thank you for making my words become important by
responding. Professional or not, if you're not seen, heard, and appreciated-- you don't exist.

Perhaps all the "serious" female actors in Cleveland just aren't interested in "plying their craft" in roles that smack of sexist stereotypes and dont seem to be compensated. Just sayin'.
And a friendly suggestion- implying that a lack of interest in your series is in some way synonymous with a lack of commitment to professional acting is perhaps not the best way to engender yourself to the very serious and very talented professional community in town.
Best of luck.

BLKICE 2: The Block Casting Call

Episode 3 Link - BLKICE 2: The Block Web Series:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnGtaqRAu7w

Thanks to all of the actors who have contacted me concerning being cast as
one of the characters in the BLKICE 2: The Block Web Series.

If I didn't have a role for you, I am creating a character for you. But, at this time,
I need to fill female characters!! If I don't fill the female roles, I will be forced to
write a new storyline. It won't take long, but I can't believe that female actors
don't want to ply their craft in the city of Cleveland.

Male actors have shown up, and are ready to act, but female actors have not.
I was contacted by two female actors. One is waiting for me to finish the
character I am writing for her, and the other has not contacted me back after
her first initial contact of me about the the web series.

It is unbelievable that I have written a script which is full of female empowerment,
but there hasn't been a continuous stream of female actors contacting me.

Enough of my lament about the situation. The series will go in another direction,
if need be! So, after this casting call goes out, if female actors don't contact me 
about test reading for the series-- I will have to assume that many in the city are
not serious about acting. To them it is only for fun, not a possible career choice.

Thanks to the male actors who have sent out my information, to female actors,
to assist me in casting the open female roles in the web series.
