'The actress and founder of her namesake Institute on Gender in Media
cites data showing that there are three male characters for every
speaking female in family-rated films: "We are in effect enculturating
kids from the very beginning to see women and girls as not taking up
half of the space."'

Excellent points.  Via Kimberly Chapman and Elisa T.
