Yeah, because you replaced us all. You replaced us all with girl bosses. You humiliated us, you know, and wrote us out of your scripts. And now you're worrying and panicking. Yeah, no, you're right. We don't anymore. Because... The men that we see on our screens these days, as you said, tend to be the butt of jokes. They tend to be disempowered.

I mean, so it's not as though these characters didn't exist, but I think we've got to a crazy place now where in order to find a kind of straight white man and hero role, you've got to watch some terrible Guy Ritchie movie.
