- In contemporary films, women seem to be shown as being dumber and dumber...
- Apparently only concerned by image and men .
- The decline in intelligence is seen when comparing Bridget Jones (Rennee Zellwegger) to Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn).
- Women's lives are seen to be more oppressive than they were 10 years ago.
- In the Golden Era, women played fully formed characters, as well as being funny and entertaining.
- Nowadays, women can only be seen as a complex character if she's depressing, tormented and self-sacrificing.
- Women only care about weddings and shopping.
- Melissa Silverstein, founder of Women & Hollywood claims that the portrayal of dumb women appeals to men > it's linked with the fact that most directors are men, and they're only interested in one thing and present females in a desirable manner.

fewer than 10 per cent of Hollywood films were written by women, with less than 6 per cent directed by women.
