Legally Blonde: Part of the problem? Women still suffer massive stereotyping in films. Check out the stats.
$4, which analyzes gender representation in popular films, found women were drastically under-represented and that professional roles almost always went to men.
If you take a look at their chart, you can see more than 90% of lawyers are played by male actors, and the same goes for 95% of judges, 85% of doctors, and 94% of professors.
Such representations do not reflect reality.
The American Bar Association reports that in reality $4, and the National Women's Law Center says $4. In his first term, President Barack Obama $4 to the federal bench, more than any other president.
Meanwhile, the Association of American Medical Colleges says $4 of practicing doctors are women, and the American Association of University Professors says $4 at bachelors institutions are female.
While there is still much progress to be made on equality in the real world, it would seem there's even more room for improvement on our screens.
