neutrality edit

This article presents a bleak picture, but I do not believe it accurately represents what people think about the portrayal of women scientists in film. There needs to be a lot more work done on this article before we should accept the message it is sending out that the portrayal is overall absymal with far more bad examples than good.

As a small example, I have added a counterpoint to the uniformly negative portrayal of how Gravity (2013) portrays women scientists in film.

It simply feels unsupported to give the reader this bleak an outlook.

Remember we should not give the reader such an outlook unless our sources support it. But merely compiling lots of sources with a negative outlook does not do it - that would be synthesis and original research. For this article to keep presenting such a bleak outlook it needs to find sources that do this synthesis for us!

Title edit

The title should be corrected to "female" not "women" Llevene00 (talk) 04:19, 7 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
