John Doyle is spot on. 
I've worked in film and TV since the late 1990s and I can tell you from  experience, women behind the scenes--from above the line creative: writers, producers, directors, show runners, etc., right down to crew members--make up a small fraction (less than 20%) of that workforce. And don't get me started on studio executives making the decisions, the stats more abysmal. 

I'm referring to prime-time and late evening creative content for adults. Not the daytime fluff that most working women never see unless held hostage in a nail salon while The Social natters on about the perfect moisturizer. 

This is why the content is what it is. 

Doyle is right because the  unfortunate truth is that men still control the vast majority of executive positions in the film/TV industry and that means they control the money, and money controls what gets made. 

If you disagree, count the # of male vs female shows from 8-11pm on any network or on Netflix, Hulu, etc.  I rest my case.
