http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/audio/2011/dec/09/media-talk-podcast-women-in-the-media This is a podcast debating how women are represented in the media, from listening to this i have learnt that 70% of news articles are men, 72% of question time hosts are men and 80% of radio 4 hosts are men.
There have been arguments from bookers saying that women are less pushy to get on the show. And if the woman takes maternity leave, they may be released due to their long break.
As i think about it, it never struck me that there are not any girls in my film, it wasn't like i was being sexist but i want to do it in the style in films which inspired me to do this genre. For example different types of action/thriller films such as 'Transporter' and 'Taken' don't have female protagonists and this influenced me not to have a female protagonist
