Here is some good news. I had no idea Geena Davis founded this non-profit institute addressing Gender In The Media. She was recently appointed to the State of California's Womens Commission.
After you read the article, go check out her "Gender In The Media" site.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has appointed actress Geena Davis to the
Commission on the Status of Women.
The Academy Award-winning actress is the founder of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, which seeks to increase female characters and reduce gender stereotypes in children's programming.
Davis, a Democrat, is known for her roles in dozens of films and television shows, including "Tootsie," "Beetlejuice" and "A League of Their Own."
The position, which pays a $100 per diem, requires Senate confirmation.
