Oh for heaven’s sake. How silly to worry about the number of female characters in a cartoon.

One in five female characters were "portrayed with some exposed skin between the mid-chest and upper thigh regions." Heck, that's nothing: The female fish "Dori" in the movie Finding Nemo was COMPLETELY NAKED throughout the entire film! How outrageous is THAT?

Baird was especially upset that cartoons might exaggerate the female physique: "One in four women was shown with a waist so small that, the authors concluded, it left 'little room for a womb or any other internal organs.' Maybe we could carry them in our purses?" Strange. I had this Baird woman pegged as someone who would support a woman's right do whatever she wanted to with her womb, INCLUDING having it removed and carrying it around in a pocket. Maybe she's not as big a proponent of women's rights as she thinks she is...

women form 17 percent of crowd scenes in family films.
What a dunce. It is so obvious even I can see the reason.
You can’t go running off to every crowd scene when you are barefoot and pregnant, now can you. Sheeeesh.

There's more. One in five female characters were "portrayed with some exposed skin between the mid-chest and upper thigh regions."I found one of our heroines who seems to be completely unclothed. Hubba hubba.

Grievance-mongers such as Baird are, uniformly: terribly unhappy people who seek to validate their misery by tearing at the joy of others.

“There’s nothing wrong with seeking more female directors, producers or major characters in Hollywood — they’re supposed to be feminist enough to have already imposed “affirmative action.”
I don’t know about the movie business but of you watch commercials you would think that white males make up about 10% of the US population, and that 50% of those are hen-pecked, morons, or both.

Without looking, I will say I am sure she is a hideous looking beast striking back at the world for not getting asked to the prom.

So a woman who found fame for her looks starts an institute that funds women to do studies showing cartoons tend to have good looking female characters...anyone else think that seems silly?
Or is it that since Davis has porked out, she wants company with fat cartoon characters?

“The Incredibles” had a great example of a Mom and Wife. Maybe that wasn’t on her Netflix list.

This is why Newseak - the entire business - is worth less than a dollar.
No one cares what inane stuff their leftists post.
Although the last few sentences should have been first - Newseak was so worried about sexualizing women that they put Palin on their cover in her running gear.
Joke.

Worse than that, Baird the Angry Feminist protested, "The female characters were also more likely than men to be beautiful." And how many of those "ugly men" were portraying the villain or some idiot comedic supporting role?

This is BS.
Even if this is true in terms of stats, regular films more than make up for it.
I am so tired of seeing tiny non-muscular women flipping huge guys or knocking them out with one punch. That is not reality. We are flooded with this kind of crap. All the tv and movies in other categories have the guys being stupid, always needing women’s help to do anything. It’s just crazy.

Baird even claimed "another study" found "women in G-rated films wear the same amount of skimpy clothing as women in R-rated films." Pravda Media + Academic Bias BUMP
