"Women are not people in movies.

See also the Galbrush paradox. "When it comes to creating great characters, there’s a lot of flexibility when it comes to male characters. With female characters, though, there are too many unwritten rules to keep track of." and "By that, I mean there are a lot of things you can do with a male character that you just can’t do with a female character. Even male minority characters have a lot more flexibility, in terms of what you can put them through."

(I ignore his thing about Stan Lee being some sort of benchmark.)

The presence of female/female relationships in movies alone proves whoever wrote that has been on the glass barbecue

What a great movie script idea: single professional woman in the city meets a man who’s interested in her but she turns him down and he moves on. The End. A real audience pleaser, that one.
