My guess to an explanation of this phenomenon would be that guys don't really watch many movies with women leads, but the inverse is not true.

Is this true?

It might be. But the sexism is economically based by consumer choices. But I just feel, " sorry that's not good enough, Hollywood, Can not you be doing something better?" I mean I they spend lots of money to promote particular narratives, values and ideas. Hollywood is based on the idea that you can persuade the population of something and promote certain values. So what I'm wondering is why doesn't Hollywood when it has the free choice to do so promote certain values to sway the population and promote equality.
