New York Times writer Maureen Dowd lambasted Hollywood as a "sick society" that clings to a myth of liberal values while it persists in excluding women from many aspects of the entertainment business.
The New York Times Magazine on Friday published a 7,000-word piece by the famed columnist about the role of women in Hollywood. Dowd interviewed nearly 100 women for the piece, describing their experiences in an industry where women continue to have second-class status. She cited the shocking statistic that in 2013 and 2014 only 1.9 percent of the directors of the 100 top-grossing films were women, a situation that seems to only get worse over time.
Dowd said she found the situation depressing. "The other two things I covered like this were Catholic Church and Saudi Arabia," she said in an interview with TheWrap. "Somewhere along the line I realized - wow, this incredibly liberal town full of men who say they’re feminists has been warped. It’s a sick society - like the Catholic Church and Saudi Arabia. If you exclude the hearts and minds of women, you get warped. That’s what happened to Hollywood."

Oh yeah. Rules...
I’m as likely to get insights on justice from Mo Dowd as I am to get insights on womankind from The-Jenner-Formerly-Known-As-Bruce.
They've been married 15 years now Maureen, let it go...
I guess this is progress - people like Dod used to complain that Hollywood was run by the Jews, now it’s just men in general.
Idiot spellchecker- DOWD.
Been a while since we’ve had a MoDo thread.
She needs to spend less time worrying about Hollywood and more time trying to find a husband - which she’s been doing for 40 years now. Is she still upset that her secretary snared a man while she didn’t?
Typical lamestream, godless media trying to compare Hollyweird to a religion. Religion is not a club with rules agreed upon by the membership. Maybe this clownette could apologize for her abject stupidity.
Why is she singling out the Catholic Church? How many Patriarchs of Constantinople have been women? What is the male/female ratio in the past 50 years for winners of the Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, or Economics? Why not go after the Nobel Prize committee? Or FIDE for the scarcity of women who have been World Chess Champions?
Hollywood is run by liberal men. Democrat politicians get their donations. Is this the beginning of a leftwing civil war...
liberal gay men...
Like public school or the Democrat Party.
How many 1000’s of women did Clinton rape?
I can’t get worked up over fairness or unfairness in the entertainment industry.
Poor Maureen, her face looks like she got beat up pretty bad.
She has a dent in her forehead, her nose looks flattened and her top lip is crooked. I am sure she was a real looker once upon a time......wasn’t she?
LOL....what did she slam into, face first?! Your description is perfect :D
"Maureen honey, aren't you going to at least wave to Michael and Catherine over there? I mean he did date you once upon a time."
