Not to dwell on the subject, but I found this week's and last week's at the same time...
Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media pleases me in so many ways. It gives well-researched studies on gender, leaned more towards girls, in the media, and the problems that can arise from depicting females in the media as objects of affection, downtrodden damsels in distress, or the bitchy girlfriends or nagging wives. Davis uses her fame (or what's left of it) to promote the subject, even going as far as presenting bills to Congress. Davis is working with the First Lady and the FCC to change the film industry as fast as possible. We need better role models for women on screen.
