Also, most so called chick flicks are badly made movies that aren't necessarily what women actually want to see in a film. The amount of money they make has less to do with being female-centric and more to do with being really bad movies. The same goes with tv shows. The problem is, Hollywood gives us female-centric media that is of lower quality than the male equivalents, gives us female characters who are not as well written as the male.
LOL. Okay whatever. The mere thought that "chick flicks" are somehow worse written than GI Joe just makes me laugh too hard. As to the rest of your statements? Yeah...still laughing too hard.
No one excuses themselves so that they don't have to change anything. They don't have to change anything because when they do, it doesn't work - or more accurately, doesn't make them as much money. You want a system that allows more creativity? Then start campaigning for one that's not based on revenue. Good luck with changing it from a capitalist industry though. The Almighty Dollar is what wins all the time.
If you want more female-driven characters and actors, then go watch more of them. More importantly, get MORE people to watch them. That's the only way the industry is going to change.
