Well, I'd have thought if anything that would be worshipping women/gay men to do that. I understand it to mean a range of things resulting from an underlying assumption that the default audience member is a 15-24 year old male. Everything is targetted at that male - let's call him Jack.
Jack and his penis are (in the Hollywood producers' minds) the ones who need to be tempted to the cinema -it follows that everything should be tailor made to fit Jack and Wee Jack's needs. So the appearance of the men is not important, they can be fugly (although a smattering of muscular types is a winner, give the boys something to aim for), but they must be a) the main character, b) nearly all of the supporting characters. Male central character must be either strong & powerful or funny. What's important is that his behaviour will be rewarded, and it will be rewarded in the form of Naked Ladies/Sexxy Ladies (throughout the course of the film).
Women are there to meet the needs of Wee Jack, and Wee Jack alone. So all characters should be male, unless there is a clear need for vaginas to be present - e.g. a male character needs somewhere to put his penis. From this it follows that women actors are only necessary in the form of Sexxy Ladies, by which Hollywood means thin, white, young, flawless and willing to get their kit off.
Hence Helen Mirren's comments that older women's careers die off - if most 15-24 year old men wouldn't want to shag them (or so the producers think) then what is the bloody point of them anyway?
