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.

    So youre saying it doesn’t prove anything, and thus OPs original claim is yet to be proven false. Or more importantly, proven true.

      Yes, I’m saying the data provided has no relevance to the discussion one way or the other.

        You mostly seem to be saying that OPs claim is absolute truth until proven otherwise. Which is a wild stance to take when, thus far, no proof has been given.

          Please provide a quote of me making a statement regarding the validity of either side of the claim.

            But a high number of blockbusters with female leads still doesn’t contradict the claim.

            Why do they need to contradict a claim you purport not to support?

              I answered that in the comment you quoted.

              You need to learn that criticizing the validity someone’s argument isn’t support for the other side.

                You need to learn to figure out what an argument is after you read a comment. They never purported to prove that OPs assertion was absolutely false, as you claim, it was to express doubt that it was real.

                Your argument was as valid as the argument you imagined they had was.

                  You need to learn what an argument is.

                  Saying you doubt a claim and providing evidence for your doubts is an argument against the validity of the claim.

                  My saying that the evidence you provided doesn’t support your doubt is a valid criticism and doesn’t mean I support the claim you’re doubting.
