All the people in the comments saying "oh but we HAVE to throw money at sub-par movies because they have women in them!"

Y'all are punks. Y'all are why movies aren't getting better. Y'all are why female-led movies aren't going to be on par with male-led movies. We need to demand better by treating them equally.

You want the execs to know that we want female leads? Rather than playing right into their game and handing them money for trash, LET THEM KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS. Tell them you want GOOD movies, and for them to stop using gender as a selling point and advertising token. That's all it is in some of these movies, a token.

Stop accepting scraps.

lol no

male led movies are better because of quantity, not quality. male led movies are not inherently better than female led movies, they just produce enough of them that they hit on a lot of good ones. you are not treating them the same by holding female led movies to a higher standard, because you're demanding a higher concentration of good movies from a smaller pool

DA

Aside from this male movies don't face the same criticisms. There are so many piece of shit movies people just accept as "fun" that they would hate and shred if it was female led or centric.

[(Anonymous)]

When the quality of female-led movies tends to be much lower, asking for better films isn't looking for anything special. Widen the pool rather than throw money around wildly.

And then we'll have no female-led movies, congrats.

Lol evidence please. Demanding better films isn't going to somehow lead to no leading women. I refuse to be fed whatever scraps they throw our way.

The point. You missed it.

I know that in your head, this sounds right. But take a look back at movie history, waaaaay back to when the movie industry really started to boom and expand. Are most of the movies good? Or maybe to narrow your focus, look at one particular genre, let's say sci-fi. You know, those early black and white sci-fi movies, where robots were very clearly stuntmen in cardboard boxes spray-painted silver, space ships looked like they were built out of washing machine spare parts and "monsters" were stock footage of iguanas. Quality stuff, eh?

The thing is, if nobody had shown a willingness to pay for those "scraps" and indicated a growing interest in the genre, we wouldn't have sci-fi films today. No Star Trek. No Star Wars. Because money is what talks when it comes to movie executives, not noble principles or e-mails of complaint. MONEY. It sucks and it's sad, but that is how the industry works.

That wasn't settling though. That wasn't scraps. That was the best they could do.
