Dunno if this is true or not but it sure as hell feels that way.

    I doubt it’s a big factor. Pretty much any big event or any TV stuff is going to involve a bunch of dicking about. Hollywood is full of actresses, and lots of them have to turn up on set at 5am to get into makeup and wait around for six hours before getting told the shooting schedule has changed and they won’t be needed til tomorrow.

      Hollywood pays better than panel shows. Panel shows run thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, per episode. That includes studio, talent, equipment, and crew. Movies can run into tens or hundreds of millions.

        Sure, movies pay more than panel shows, but you get lots of women working as extras, even though it really doesn’t pay well and involves of lot of hassle.

        But more importantly, why do you think that women are more sensitive or opposed to waiting around? Not sure it’s a trait or stereotype that aligns with my experience. Guys can be plenty impatient and think they’re too important to wait around like a pleb.
