Roman Polanski, rapist pigshit: The pill has masculinized women [View all]

Director Roman Polanski is not keeping his controversial gender views to himself at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.

Polanski, in Cannes introducing his competition film Venus in Furs Saturday, took a detour off film when asked by a journalist his views on gender relations.

Polanski criticized the modern attempt "to level the genders" which he called "purely idiotic." He blamed this on the introduction of The Pill as birth control for women and other advances in medicine.

"I think The Pill has greatly changed the women of our times, masculinizing them," the French-speaking Polanski said in English, making sure he had the word correct.
