I found this info graphic on the New York Film Academy website which looks at the ways in which women are treated in the film industry. I wasn't surprised to learn that there is a ratio of 5:1 men to women working in the film industry as it is evident in the way that gender roles are portrayed on-screen.
I was however surprised at some of the other figures shown, only 30% of speaking characters are women and in relation to fashion/clothing, 28.8% of women wear sexually revealing clothes in comparison to just 7% of men. Following this, 26.2% of women actors get partially naked, while only 9.4% of men do. There is a clear difference between men and women in all of the statistics shown, which pinpoints the way this evidently filters down in to the narrative of the stories we see.
