As a woman of color, I feel like I have to make a choice when I watch movies. Critically acclaimed movies made by and about women don’t completely allow me to see myself.
Even though more women and people of color are featured in this season, the fact that they were added in and of itself doesn’t make the show more progressive.
A new study found that most female characters could be removed from a film's narrative without significantly disrupting the plot. This suggests that even when women do show up in films, they don’t really have any agency.
