OpinionJournal - Taste: "Michael Medved once pointed out that G- and PG-rated movies tend to make more money than R-rated ones. But that's not good news for everyone apparently. According to a study due out next week, kiddy flicks routinely poison the minds of their tiny viewers by relegating female characters to minority status in terms of both numbers and power. This report comes from the See Jane program, founded by actress Geena Davis, and it shows that 'G movies give boys a D' by 'portraying males as dominant, disconnected and dangerous.' Unlike Ms. Davis's R-rated 'Thelma and Louise,' it seems, where men were all those things, but the women gunned them down and then triumphed by killing themselves. "
