Rated ‘R’ For Violence, Language, and… Traditional Gender Roles?

NTK
A new movie rating system could age-restrict movies because they portray traditional gender roles.


"For decades, organizations like the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) have assigned films a rating (i.e. G, PG, PG-13, etc.) based on their age appropriateness level.

"Screening films for themes like violence, sexuality, and language that could be considered inappropriate for certain age groups, the MPAA has made sure that parents can protect their children from age-inappropriate topics.

"But one group is seeking to add a new criteria to those age-inappropriate themes: gender roles." . . .

"One person who’s happy, though? None other than Chelsea Clinton."

Thank you for your work helping parents choose films for our kids with positive gender representations:
