By measuring dialogue, we have much more objective measure of gender inclusivity.

So what? What now? Does a book/ movie/story get better if it's 50/50?

It's nice to analyse data but what is it good for?


Now, you could rank the movies by popularity and draw the conclusion that the more men talk, the more popular the movie.

Correlation != causality

If the main character of a movie is a woman and 90% of dialogue is by men it likely warrants investigating why.
