As the battle over the gender wage gap continues to rage in Washington and in the media, some of Hollywood’s women have identified the real problem: men are underrepresented in their industry.

This satirical clip, from the group #MAKEITFAIR, laments that only 93 percent of popular films were directed by men last year, and that they wrote only 80 percent. These women say they “wont relent/’til it’s 100 percent,” tongues lodged firmly in cheek.
