If Women Ran Hollywood...
"People working in the business would name six men working in high-profile positions at the studios and networks and assume that men had achieved equality."
Indeed. For the rest of the article, see If Women Ran Hollywood... 2007.

This part: "Jane Bond would be an elegant over-40 action heroine at the center of a profitable film franchise. A TV series, action figure, and cereal would soon follow."
... is particularly telling to me, in that even an article like this one refers to a flashy male superspy character turned female, rather than a flashy female superspy who ALREADY exists: Modesty Blaise.
If women ran Hollywood, there'd be a long and sucessful Modesty Blaise franchise, while James Bond would be relegated to a couple of dross-flicks (and so far out of the pop culture consciousness that commentators were calling for a "Malcolm Blaise").
