There are apparently 760 male film critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and only 168 female critics in comparison. And Meryl Streep is not having it. The actress is starring as early women?s rights leader Emmeline Pankhurst in Suffragette, in theaters Oct. 23, which is a drama about the British women?s suffrage movement. She said, and what she found was alarming, ?I went deep, deep, deep, deep, and I counted how many contributors there were ? critics and bloggers and writers ?Of those allowed to rate on the Tomatometer, there are 168 women. And I thought, that?s absolutely fantastic. If there were 168 men. ?Actually there are 760 men who weigh in on the Tomatometer.? Sigh.
