Hollywood: one of the last bastions of condoned, flat-out, in-your-face sexism

Ed links to a column by Maureen Dowd noting that less than 2% of Hollywood movies have a female director. Scott Ott adds at PJ Media,

Since a hacker sprung an email leak at Sony Pictures in 2014 — revealing, for example, that Jeremy Renner made more than Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams for American Hustle— it's become clear that one of the last bastions of condoned, flat-out, in-your-face sexism, is the place where Progressives, Liberals and Democrats have worked diligently to craft a culture that will finally elect America's first woman president.

Meanwhile, commenter jag20 notes at Instapundit,

Newsrooms are hardly diverse, colleges are rape and racist pits and now Hollywood is sexist, not only underpaying females but also baring them from significant positions.
