But that classic male audacity didn't phase DuVernay. “Thank you, friend, thank you for that call," she said, per Vanity Fair. "I invite you to tell whoever is feeling discriminated against to sue me so that I can sue every studio that has left women out. Because we can do this, if that’s what you want to do.”
