Using the IMDB data set, I plotted what % of movies had a female lead, and what % had a majority female cast (3/5 top billing) since 1950.pic.twitter.com/k5lle91JN2

Why exclude romance?
Romance movies almost always have a man and woman as the two leads. Wouldn't want to show more women if romance movies just got more popular

Sure but it does introduce an arbitrary bias.

Popularity (i.e. movies made) is exactly what you're plotting; this screams intentional distortion. Post full data set or look like a shill.

I would expect the numbers to favor men anyway, but having you not include romance makes me suspicious they don't...

Uh why not - what is your point then? Popularity of movie genres presumably plays a huge part in these quotas.

that seems wildly unscientific and a fairly weak argument for removing a large data point that doesn't suit your narrative.

the other way to look at that is that romance movies getting popular means movies with a woman as one of two leads getting popular
