The Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media and argues that its research helped pave the way for modern DEI practices in Hollywood. I question Geena Davis’s claim that children’s entertainment lacked strong female representation in the early 2000s, breaks down the institute’s box office claims, and points out how Star Wars: The Force Awakens heavily boosted the numbers for female-led movies in 2015. The Institute’s Google-funded software that tracks things like screen time, dialogue, leadership roles, and gender representation, while questioning how fair and unbiased the research really is. Overall, the institute uses selective statistics, corporate funding, consultants, and pressure to push Hollywood toward certain representation policies.
