VIDEO : Reese Witherspoon: Stop Writing Female Characters as Helpless Beings

Reese Witherspoon can?t stand that in a script , In the time of crisis, the woman turns to the man and asks him, 'What are we gonna do now?!'"
In her speech at Glamour's Women of the Year Awards, the actress and producer said that have you ever met a woman in crisis who doesn't know what to do?
Witherspoon said such a line appears often when female characters aren't created by women, instead boiled down to being helpless beings.
The 39-years old actress explained that she founded her production company Pacific Standard to help create more films featuring female authors and leads. The company's upcoming releases feature characters who are "bold and haunted and dangerous and triumphant, like the real women in our lives."

Witherspoon received the honor from Goldie Hawn, who noted the effectiveness of her #AskHerMore initiative, pushing media to interview actresses about more than their evening's outfits.
