The allegations against producer Harvey Weinstein and others have led to the most positive kind of backlash: Through the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements, and the 50/50 by 2020 initiative, which aims to have male-female parity in the business world in two years. “I think it’s going to shift much more quickly now,” theguardian.com quoted Gerwig as saying. She added: “When studios are looking to hire now, they’ll ask themselves – as they rightly should – ‘Is there a woman who is qualified for this job?’ That’s tremendously important.
