    Misogyny and Hollywood

    Feel like having your morals totally violated? Watch this series about the 'Best Directors in Hollywood'. Guess what? There are 20 directors featured and guess what else?

    NONE OF THEM ARE FEMALE.

    This show has been on for FIVE years and it hasn't once featured a female director?

    So disturbing.

    If you enjoy watching white straight guys talk about how great it is to be a straight white guy, this is probably for you.

    IMO this could be regarded as propaganda.
