I did know that and it leads me to think he has a very respectful attitude towards women, along with the fact that his female characters are generally intelligent and portrayed sympathetically.
As I said above, I do not think he's a misogynist at all and what I'd just like to see in his future films are more female characters. The fact that he didn't leave Ariadne just to be the exposition fairy but upgraded her to audience insert (the character who does what the audience would do in that situation - the smart thing) indicates to me that he can write strong women whose role in the film is independent of romance with a male character. Considering how few writers and directors are currently doing this, all I want is more, because while I do enjoy stories with male characters, I really love it when those stories are told with a female character I can admire and relate to. It would be cool to see one of Nolan's great plots in service of a female character.
