The new Tron: Ares got me thinking just how common Hollywood sex offender blockbuster stars are, compared to women in leading roles. Then I realized the same is true for directors, producers and whatnot. Then I realized that’s probably true as well for all official or otherwise roles of responsibility in companies, churches, any sort of union and everything else.

It’s insane our society looks like that.

    Respectfully and gently, this sounds like confirmation bias. Do we have any non-anecdotal supportive data? Or anything more substantial than “this just feels kind of right”?

        Agreed but it is just a shower thought; I’m not sure we need to hold shower thoughts to a high standard of capital T Truth

          Anything presented as a factual claim needs to be true. OP didn’t pose it as a shower thought, they presented it as if it was a fact. A shower thought would be “I think there might be…”

                “Comm” generally refers to “Community”, roughly analogous to a “subreddit” or “subforum”. It refers, in this case, to the /c/showerthoughts community we’re currently in.

                  K, and what’s your point? You apparently haven’t read the other comments on this page

                    My guy, I’m just letting you know what they meant by “Comm” because you seemed to be confused by it. I think their argument is generally fallacious at best, and disingenuous at worst.

                    Though, I suppose it’s understandable to feel attacked when that seems to be all people want to do in here.
