Rogue One had a 93% male cast and 83% male dialogue. The creators of Rogue One received buckets of hate on the basis of it supposedly being too inclusive. These are facts.
Also:
the audience demographics for "Rogue One" this weekend were 59% male and 41% female, while 26% were between the age of 26 and 34, according to data shared by the studio.

and in general:
(paraphrased) Only 15% of the main characters in the Top 100 grossing films of 2013 were women, even though 52% of the moviegoer audience are women.

So, what the hell? Even though I haven't seen Rogue One, it seems that it'd be quite difiicult to have a movie in which 93% of the cast is male and 83% of the dialogue is spoken by men and still be pissed to the extent that so many apparently were. Maybe the problem wasn't the amount of dialogue, but rather the roles women were given? Is there any merit to the idea that Leila, relative to women in Rogue One, was a 'damsel in distress' type character and thereby posed no threat to the fragile egos of certain men?
Lastly, what to make of this still massive disparity in the amount of dialogue men and women get?
