If we all banded together & turned these parts down, that would just result in many, many more actors being out of work. It's a real problem

It's not a problem for *actresses.* It's a problem for our culture. If this is how women are represented, society will reflect those values.

Anyway. It's bad for movies & it's bad for all genders & it's bad for the world. And it's fucking boring. Makes me want to quit acting.

My screenplay's female protagonist is the greatest living mathematician. Passes the Bechdel test in the first act. Please, don't give up.
