1) Women account for 52% of moviegoers. (MPAA 2016)

2) On the top 100 grossing films of 2016, women represented:

4% of directors
11% of writers
3% of cinematographers
19% of producers
14% of editors
(Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film)

Someone posted the above info.

Well it is 2018 and by now one would have thought all the statistics to have been more equal, it is obvious nothing more than a choice of women not to enter into these fields. I'm sure we can all agree that the people that do enter into these fields put alot on the line, work extremely hard, take chances, etc etc. We should not expect the numbers to be gender equal if women choose not to enter into these areas. We can not make them.
Or wait a minute, are you saying that this is the patriarchy at work against women??
Its 2018, women can pick and choose what ever field they want. If this report is to show the patriarchy claimed by feminist its pretty poor and weak and actually embarrassing.


And then we have a Feminist PM that put women into positions just because they are women not because they were qualified or earned it.

So the women he chose were not qualified and did not earn it (in your opinion), but only the men chosen were qualified or earned those positions? In ALL of Canada there was not even a handful of women as good as a man to fit the position, eh?

Ya, Silverstarqueen, this thread is for disparaging women, and questioning their suitability and credibility. Leave the poor menfolk alone!

Then it should be easy for you to give actual examples of those appointed who were not fit for their positions. We'll wait.

Funny how when men were the majority nobody questioned that they were unqualified and chosen over more qualified women. It's only when we have equality and more women in power that it's suddenly an issue.

Surely there can't be just as many qualified women as men at Oxford.

Well it seems in spite of all the publicity, our school admins are not getting the message about reports of sexual assault. With this type of response, is it any wonder girls sometimes delay reporting, are traumatized further after the assault?
