Right now, we don't see enough women on screen or behind the camera -- but waiting for Hollywood to grow a conscience isn't going to fix the problem, says Naomi McDougall Jones. Join forces with her as she outlines her four-point plan for a total representation revolution in Hollywood.

Quote of the Week

Facebook algorithmically arranges the posts that your friends put on Facebook. It doesn't show you everything chronologically! It puts the order in the way that the algorithm thinks will entice you to stay on the site longer. You may be thinking somebody is snubbing you on Facebook, but the algorithm may never be showing your post to them.

This has a lot of consequences. Experiments show that what the algorithm picks to show you can affect your emotions. But that's not all. It also affects political behavior."
