			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/thebraveoneposter.jpg?w=312&#038;h=438" alt="thebraveoneposter.jpg" align="left" height="438" width="312" /> Jeff Robinov, the president of production at <a href="http://www2.warnerbros.com/main/homepage/homepage.html">Warner Brothers studios</a>, doesn’t think women are worth a dime.</p>
<p>“<em>We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead</em>” Robinov was <a href="http://www.salon.com/mwt/broadsheet/2007/10/08/warner/index.html">quoted</a> as saying this week, using two recent less-than-stellar female driven films (<a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/brave_one/">The Brave One</a>, staring Jodie Foster, and <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/invasion/">The Invasion</a>, starring Nicole Kidman) as evidence for his claims.</p>
<p>What. The. F*ck? Um, what year is this???</p>
<p>Robinov is just <em>convinced</em> the reason neither film did well with audiences is because a woman was in the lead.</p>
<p>Apparently, the options of bad writing, convoluted plots, and poorly conceived advertising are not viable, and the only way to make sure a movie of his never bombs again is to make sure the leads are always sans boobs and vagina.</p>
<p>Movies with male leads bomb all the time, but Robinov doesn’t care about that obvious fact, nor does he seem to remember the fantastic success of <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/mean_girls/">Mean Girls</a>, <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_devil_wears_prada/">The Devil Wears Prada</a>, <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/erin_brockovich/">Erin Brockovich</a>, or anything helmed by the <a href="http://www.mary-kateandashley.com/">Olsen Twins</a>.</p>
<p>Do women often headline films by themselves?  No.  But it’s not because they don’t have the same drawing power as men, it’s because chauvinists like Robinov are given the ability to “<em>no longer do movies</em>” in which the star is a female.<span id="more-5698"></span></p>
<p>Men have controlled Hollywood for decades, and every time a guy utters something as disgusting as Robinov’s words and is not challenged, the male hold only increases.</p>
<p>If a movie is rotten, it really doesn’t matter who’s in the lead.</p>
<p>Nobody could have saved <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/i_know_who_killed_me/">I Know Who Killed Me</a>—and that’s a fact.</p>
