Women Embrace Witchcraft to Break Through Hollywood's Glass Ceiling

Tired of Hollywood's longtime liberal hypocrisy -- claiming to love diversity while continuing to discriminate against women in its hiring practices -- the ACLU is calling on the government to use legal means to end gender discrimination at the studios.

Reporting for The New York Times (May 12, 2015), Cara Buckley writes:


"Grumblings that Hollywood is a man’s world have percolated for decades and are borne out in grim figures: Women directed only 4 percent of top-grossing films over the last dozen years. Now this apparent truism is being challenged as a violation of civil rights.

"On Tuesday the American Civil Liberties Union asked state and federal agencies to investigate the hiring practices of major Hollywood studios, networks and talent agencies for what the organization described as rampant and intentional gender discrimination in recruiting and hiring female directors.

" 'Women directors aren’t working on an even playing field and aren’t getting a fair opportunity to succeed,' said Melissa Goodman, director of the LGBT, Gender and Reproductive Justice Project at the ACLU of Southern California. 'Gender discrimination is illegal. And, really, Hollywood doesn't get this free pass when it comes to civil rights and gender discrimination.' "


While the ACLU is using anti-discrimination laws to fighting hiring biases in the entertainment industry, the women in Hollywood Witches have turned to the supernatural to achieve gender parity at the studios.
