I feel frustrated because as a woman I want to see media featuring women--particularly filmed media, to employ more female actors, and when activists promote this I'm delighted at first--but then they're pushing for ALL THE STORIES THAT BORE ME. Romance and romantic comedies and comedies and dramas about divorced housewives and struggling mothers and, ugh. As if that's what "women's media" must be limited to. Give me all the SF featuring starships piloted by 90% women! Fantasy featuring female rogues and paladins! Historical epics with matriarchal societies! Female spy rings not played for comedy! BRING IT.

Yeah, this is my feeling, too. I like romance. A good romantic story is totally fine with me. But I want to see a lot of the creative, varied, imaginative sorts of things you mentioned, too.

And the whole "dramas about divorced housewives and struggling mothers" thing-the thing that tends to irk me about a lot of those kinds of movies is that it just so often reads like "upper class midlife crisis" material, like the books you see in stores from writers who took a year to "find themselves" and went on some exotic journey. I'm kind of tired of those stories, too.

If we are going to go with the "realistic drama" stuff, I'd like to see more stories involving low-income women and the issues they deal with. Women who are working in dead end jobs who aren't fortunate enough to have the Prince Charming model guy come along and sweep them off their feet to a land of riches and happiness. Women who can't afford to take exotic trips to "find themselves" when they go through some sort of crisis. Things like that. It'd be interesting to see more stuff like that, and how women in those settings deal with whatever issues come their way.

Ditto to your last paragraphs. :)
