The UN is on the case:

The irony of being lectured on equality by a princess is just perfect, isn't it.

How true. If only in the last 20 years someone had made a show about a female President. That would have been progress, no?

Now that the UN is on the case I'm sure we'll see those numbers turn right around. But a reminder: Hollywood is all about money, usually extracted from the pockets of young males who want to see explosions and boobs. Avatar made a billion dollars. "Eat Pray Love" made $80 million. When "Eat Pray Love" makes a billion dollars then there will be many more movies with female characters. Like a hard-edged, brilliant scientist who goes to another planet! Sigourney Weaver could play that one.
