Its a good question, but it should be part of a bigger question.
A diverse set of viewpoints is good, but do male and female critics see films differently?
and caters more blatantly to male ticket-buyers.

Of course, Id like to see more men arguing these points as well.
The larger problem here isnt just that there arent enough women critics there arent enough critics.
TheUnion-Tribunesituation shows why this is a bad idea.
Among critics, there should be a diversity of gender (and ethnicity, and sexual orientation, etc.
), but right now, Id be happy to see some geographical diversity.
