"Men continue to dominate film criticism, according to a study. A total of 78% of Rotten Tomatoes&amp;#039; top critics are men, who write 82% of reviews, marking a decrease in the proportion of female reviewers since 2007.  The research by San Diego State University tracked the review aggregator&amp;#039;s 145 &amp;#039;Top Critics&amp;#039; over a two-month period earlier this year. It also found that male and female critics tend to gravitate to films either written or directed by people of their own gender, leading to a bias in the exposure towards male filmmakers&amp;#039; projects. The study also found that the gender of filmmakers did not tend to affect the quality of male critics&amp;#039; reviews. Positive and negative reviews were spread equally across films made by men and women, debunking the idea that male critics are unduly harsh towards female filmmakers.
