3 percent of the decision-making in media comes from women. That means 97 percent of how women are portrayed is decided on by men.

It also means that 97 percent of how men are portrayed in media are decided on by men. Something to remind MRAs and their ilk of when they complain about the stereotype of men as inept slobs, bad fathers, etc in media and advertising.
Men have the power. So when we men are shat on by the powers that be you don’t get to try and blame women for that.

And that bullshit argument where MRAs try to claim women have more power because there’s slightly more of us in the US. Doesn’t do us much good when the media is 97% controlled by men.
