Stunt Women
Usually, stunt work is a male-dominated field. Due to the nature of the discipline, men tend to gravitate towards it more. However, there may be a bit of sexism in the film industry.

Chad Stahelski is a director and stunt coordinator. He stated that “They’re not writing female gladiators or female soldiers in WWII. They’re not writing female ninjas. It’s what the writers write and where the studios go…” This makes sense. If you cast a male actor who does dangerous stunts, it only makes sense to cast a male stuntman.
