and they make that point in the article.


And the same goes for any job where you get to yell at people -- only 16 percent of all high-up production jobs in 2012 were held by ladies, which is actually less than in the freaking '90s. But look on the bright side: It's not like Hollywood is going to start buying screenplays from chicks, so you best just start writing books.


Women write books, and men will make films based on books written by women, but women aren't really represented in the film industry.
