"I find it very interesting that a man can be a stripper, talk about it openly, go on SNL and parody it in several sketches, and nobody accuses him of leveraging his sexuality to get ahead. They applaud it. And he did make a quality film, and it obviously did really well, and it had a certain pedigree - it wasn't trashy - but I do not think a woman would be treated the same way. I'm living proof of that. A woman's sexuality is dangerous and threatening and dirty, and for Channing, it's a charming tool in his arsenal. And I love Magic Mike. I love Channing. This is in no way a diss on him."

"It seems a lot of people in power are not comfortable with women writing or directing. They think it's incompatible with motherhood or some other responsibility, and that freaks me out. A lot of women are doing amazing things as producers and executive producers, but on the creative side? Not as much, and that's deeply depressing."

Diablo Cody also attended the 23rd Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala held at The Palm Springs Convention Center in Las Vegas this past Saturday.

Diablo showed her sexy side on the red carpet wearing a sparkling, long-sleeved gray dress with a bold necklace and some killer red lips.

Overall, a great look for Miz Diablo.

Our only critique… we'd work on that pose girl. You're gorgeous, you should show off a confidant pose on the red carpet!
