![]() ![]() That's the problem with a lot of women today who mess with athletes and others in the industry. Now if you want to play stupid and act like these guys do not do DL shit you can stay being stupid. The sad reality is most of you women probably have kids by multiple men and aren't raising them to value women so it just creates another generation of women who are scorned by gay men cause the men they do have available to them haven't been raised well by YOU women.Īt all the people in here saying that women are haters, in today's age (DL, HIV, etc.) you have to question any and everything that seems suspect especially when it comes to professional athletes who screw everything in their cities, everything in cities they visit and are always on some next shit when it comes to sexual activity. it's ironic that Justin Timberlake can go on national TV and dance to Single Ladies IN HEELS no less and not have white women (hell some black women too) question his sexuality, but when a seemingly normal well adjusted black man gets a picture taken in a DAMN photoshoot you want to jump on your soap box with these long ass essays about how gay men are the ones to watch out for. And this is a damn photoshoot not a personal picture. Instead of pontificating about how he looks gay or how he looks "suspect" you need to be worrying about straight men cause they can bring home a disease just as quick as a man on the "dl" can. Furthermore HIV isn't a gay disease its a disease that anyone of any race or sexuality can catch. Some of you black women need to get over yourselves, Gay men are not your enemies. The report is part of an annual survey conducted by Smith and Choueiti on the top 100 domestic films.If he were gay it wouldn't make him any less attractive. It becomes normative without some content creators even thinking about it. “It’s completely consistent: There are about 4,300 characters across 100 films per year, and under a third are female. It’s almost as if the statistics reveal an industry formula regarding gender, Smith said. Hollywood is failing to court one of its most financially lucrative audiences.”Īnd the unchanged numbers of gender-balanced movies and women behind the camera year after year reveal a “norm” in Hollywood that is damaging to women, according to the researchers. Yet females control a vast majority of the purchasing decisions in the home and buy roughly half of the tickets at the box office. “Our data show that females are simply not equal in film, in front of or behind the camera. “The infrequency of females in film is symptomatic of a greater industry issue,” Choueiti said. ![]() Those findings were similar to the previous two years – 15 percent in 2008 and 12 percent in 2007. Less than 17 percent of films were gender-balanced, meaning that they featured girls or women in 45 to 54.9 percent of speaking roles. The percentage was identical to movies of 2008. Of the speaking characters, 32.8 percent were women and 67.2 percent were men. ![]() The team examined 4,342 speaking characters in 2009 movies, including Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Hangover. Smith’s team also found numbers that echoed a discouraging trend revealed in her studies of movies from 20. “Viewing sexualized images of females in film may contribute to self-objectification in some girls or women, which in turn may increase body shame, appearance anxiety and have other negative effects,” she said. Sexualizing a significant portion of women this age may contribute to males viewing girls and women as “eye candy” at younger ages, Smith said. For male teen characters, the numbers were much lower – 5.3 percent shown in sexy clothing and 11.2 percent showing skin. The survey found that 33.8 percent of female teen characters were seen in sexy clothing, and 28.2 percent were shown with exposed skin in the cleavage, midriff or upper thigh regions. In fact, 13- to 20-year-olds were as likely as 21- to 29-year-olds to be depicted in that manner. Smith and her research team of undergraduate students found the same prevalence of sexually revealing clothing and partial nudity in female characters in all age groups from 13 to 39. Perhaps the most troubling aspect of the findings, which are based on the top 100 grossing movies of 2009, is that they dealt with young teen characters. The study, “Gender Inequality in Popular Films,” can be found at Smith, Marc Choueiti and Stephanie Gall illustrates Hollywood’s bent for films that marginalize and sexualize women is as strong as ever. ![]() The latest USC Annenberg survey looked at films released in 2009.Ī new study by USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism researchers Stacy L. ![]()
