Here's a newsflash for people in Hollywood.

Men like to look at women. Some men are freaking creepy in how much we like to look at women.

No movie is ever going to fail with men for having too many beautiful women on the screen.

Barbie was the highest grossing movie last year. Men, including me, spent money to go see it. I didn't like it, and I don't like it as a cultural phenomenon; but, that doesn't change the fact that I spent money that contributed to its box-office numbers.

This isn't men having a problem with strong, independent women on screen.

This is a problem of men knowing the source material that you're playing with, and knowing that your movie is going to be a middle finger to the source material, and men.

Men like to be insulted about as much as women do.

As Uncy Herb of The Simpsons famously said, "This is why we're getting killed in the market. Instead of giving people what they want, you're telling them what they want!"

That's what Disney has been doing for ten years.
