The nonprofit charity she founded, the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, studied 15 years of G-rated movies and discovered that girl characters had very little screen time compared to boys: There were three male characters for every one female.
Of the characters who were girls, Davis said most were eye candy, stereotypes or hyper-sexualized – and that’s in films made for children 11 years old and younger.
