Male Domination In The 1980's

In the 1980's males were dominating and seen were in many actions films such as, 'The Terminator' (1984) by Jamkes Cameron and 'RoboCop' (1987) by Paul Verhoeven. Society was far more 'Patriarchal' and women were not seen to have a higher status than men. The patriarchal society had made it harder for women to achieve leading roles in films. There was hardly any strong female featured in action films. However, society has developed and there are many women that have a leading role in action films, Such as Cat women.
