The author seems to lament that there are no whamyns in any of these movies.
Can't find it at the moment, but I remember a (probably kike) producer quoted as saying "You've got to have a woman in there", if a script didn't contain one in the first few pages.
Edit: It was so long ago that I heard the quote, I relented searching and asked Grok.
The quote you're thinking of (or something very close to it) is most famously attributed to Julia Phillips, one of the first woman producers to win a Best Picture Oscar (for The Sting in 1974). She was a major Hollywood figure in the 1970s as a producer on films like Taxi Driver, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and The Sting.
In her candid 1991 memoir You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again, she recounts various Hollywood anecdotes and insider views. One recurring theme she highlights is the old-school studio/producer mindset about scripts needing female presence early for commercial appeal (to attract audiences, balance male-driven stories, etc.). She paraphrases or references a common executive/producer note: something along the lines of "You've got to have a woman in there" if a script doesn't introduce a female character within the first few pages (or early on), implying it was a standard piece of feedback to ensure marketability and avoid all-male setups that might alienate viewers or seem uncommercial.
This wasn't her personal rule—she often mocked or critiqued that kind of formulaic thinking—but she cited it as a typical demand from (mostly male) producers and execs of that era when reviewing scripts. It's become a bit of shorthand in screenwriting lore for how female characters were sometimes treated as obligatory "add-ons" rather than integral from the start.
If it's not Phillips, a similar sentiment appears in older Hollywood anecdotes (e.g., from studio heads or producers like those at MGM or Warner Bros. in the mid-20th century), but Phillips' book is the most direct source tying it to that specific phrasing in modern recollections. Does that ring a bell, or was there a more recent context you had in mind?
Nothing wrong with having a good looking leading lady if the script demands it, but stronk wahmyns for no other reason than muh diversity ruins pretty much everything.
My thoughts exactly. For some reason, 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' popped into my mind right away, while reading your reply.
