Well, I’ve heard it said that the love interest in movies is generally in her 20s.

It doesn’t matter how old the man involved is. If the main character man is in his 20s, the love interest is his own age.

If the man is 30 something or 40 something, or even 50 something, the love interest is still in her 20s.

How do liberal Hollywood feminist types live with themselves being in an industry with such terrible sexist standards??? Just wondering.

To paraphrase the idiot who confronted the worker at Chick Fill A over how can she work for a company with such terrible values and live with herself, how do these liberal Hollywood females live with themselves, being part of such a discriminatory entertainment industry?

Off topic perhaps, but I am acquainted with many 40 and 50 something women who look and dress and behave in an attractive manner. I believe that Hollywood could have roles for older women, and still have them be the love interest or otherwise attractive to men.

A good example of this is Sarah Palin, who is (are you ready?) 51 years old.

I'm guessing that would be the cash-cow demo for the movie industry. Well, that and kids movies.

So, in effect, these "artistes" are saying the public doesn't know a thing about "art"?

Came across an IMDB comment about a recent movie on IFC (iirc): "What do you do when you can't get a decent part to help separate you from all the other role-bereft actresses? Well, you write one for yourself of course."

Nothing to stop MG from producing/writing/starring in/directing her own film.

The Hollywood that discriminates against women is all liberal Democrat all the time. It’s hard to think of another industry that could get away treating women the way Hollywood does. Yet, as you point out, the women are liberal Democrats too. So I have a problem getting worked up about their problem.
