They reportedly analyzed 122 family films (rated G, PG and PG-13), including 50 top-grossing ones, between 2006 and 2009. She found it "startling" that there is "only one female character to every three male characters in family movies."

I can tell you with good authority that this is a very conscious decision from the studios for the simple reason that experience has borne out time and time again that boys won't go see a girl movie, but girls will go see a boy movie. Look at the current marketing for Disney's "Tangled." It's the Rapunzel story, but they're desperately trying to make it look like it's a boy movie.

Exactly right. My girls could consistently beat me at the rather bloody video game Doom. I'm sure libtards would be appalled by all that violence, but the girls saw it as a video game challenge, nothing more.

All three grew up to be fine young ladies and not one of them grew up to be a bed wetting liberal.

PG-13 family films? Some maybe can be like Indiana Jones, but Bevis and Butthead Do America was also PG-13 and certainly not a family film. James Bond movies are PG or PG-13 but I wouldn't let small kids watch that until they are older.
