Dolomite. Sure, the women are hookers and Dolomite is their pimp, but they're ninja hookers. And I'm pretty sure that ninja hookers are better than normal men.

She should have said Monster that is a empowering movie for the wimmins.

TypoFlyspray: The Southern Dandy: Give her a break. Maybe she's a whore. Everyone identifies with their own.

Of course she's a whore! She's in a Beauty Contest. The question is, does she give value for the money, and the answer is almost certainly No.


That's probably why she didn't win.

The Muthaship: She does what she has to do to make ends meet in difficult times. She despises it, but she doesn't let it consume her. She maintains her principles, and avoids the pitfalls that put an end to most in the field (pimps, drugs, etc.). Even while engaging in this distasteful, dog eat dog line of work, she looks out for others. When given the opportunity to be the kept woman (but not the equal partner) of a man she actually does fall in love with, she declines. She was not willing to settle for a half measure of her dream.

And she flosses.

Pocket Ninja: Are you being ironic, subby? Pretty Woman teaches us that a white, well-educated woman can overcome the natural prejudices of society and become a prostitute who, by providing enough sexual favors, can someday meet a lonely billionaire and live happily ever after. It's inspiring and should be celebrated.

And that, sir, is why you are on my favorites list

Nana's Vibrator: IN all seriousness, you can't win by answering this one.
Erin Brockovich, as an example mentioned before, is an obnoxious overachiever. And in reality, the male judges probably hate that.
Disney Princesses move into someone else's castle and it's called Cinderella's Castle and Snow White's Castle? Gold digging freaks.
Ripley from the Alien franchise - murders baby animals
Princess Leia - kissed her brother
Clarise Starling fell in love with a serial murdering cannibal

There has to be a strong independent single female who is a housewife raising 2.5 children and caring for pets and also has a supersuccessful self-built business and career and runs a charity for orphans with parents and is attractive enough for male judges to masturbate to but not too attractive for female judges to dislike her out of jealousy.


Snow White's castle was HERS. The crappy witch got rid of Snow because she wanted to be the head ho.

gaslight: She spoke a kind of truth, without realizing it. Of course, this means she must be punished.

I think the mockery comes from her sucking at the game she is playing. The game is to pretend that beauty pageant contestants are smart and interesting and not just eye candy. They are also supposed to pretend to be "virtuous".

Her gaff was playing the "be smart, pretty and virtuous" contest and then holding up a hooker as a role model.

Admit it. That's funny. And worthy of some mocking. I know if a friend of mine made that gaff I would bust her chops for it.

FTFA: "Culpo didn't get a chance to play her instrument during the telecast since there was no talent portion."

Well, at least they're being more honest about what the competition is about.

To be fair I'll bet getting by on your looks until you marry rich sounds like a great and realistic story to beauty pageant contestants.

More recently, you would have thought The Hunger Games might have occurred to her. Or, in the extremely unlikely event that Miss Ohio ever saw an independent film, she might have said Hanna.

As campy as it is, the only Julia Roberts movie I can think of that specifically portrays women in a positive way is Steel Magnolias. And it's so campy it's magnificent, so shut up, haters.

They didn't say what the other answers were. I can't imagine anything I would consider a good answer. Anything that would approach a good answer would just seem like pandering. But then maybe that is the only way to go.

/Sister act? Gorrillas in the mist?
// I wouldn't know enough about either of those movies to be able to back up my answer either.
///She went with what she knew, I can't wait to meet her.

Ronin_S: One of my friends absolutely loves Pretty Woman. My other friend and I thought it was the dumbest movie ever and were trying so hard not to laugh through the whole thing. We came from cultures that had a history of arranged marriages and saw what our grandmothers went through, probably giving us a more cynical view on love and marriage.

I have a harder time believing that there are johns out there that look/act like Richard Gere's character than believing that there are prostitutes out there that look/act like Julia Roberts' character.


Psychologically stable women don't need to turn to prostitution to establish a sound family/reasonable lifestyle. They don't even have to be attractive.

I heard someone use the word "versativity."


" stupid" thread?

My favorite was the lady who reported that "the Republicans are inside confrontating their Democratic counterparts".

Made me want to vomitate.
 
2012-06-04 02:34:26 PM
Only skimmed the thread, but I see lots of mention of Aliens, etc as movies that portray women in a positive way. Is it only by embracing stereotypical "male" behavior (guns, etc) that women can be portrayed positively? My guess is that all these suggestions came from men, as we seem most likely to come up with "woman acting like a man" as a positive portrayal of women.

Timmy the Tumor: And, it taught us all that "prostitutes don't kiss on the lips"

They do if they advertise "GFE" for "girlfriend experience". The downside is that you then have to put up with them biatching about you never taking them anywhere and getting into fights about the toilet seat and your mother. The silver lining is that unlike a "real" girlfriend experience, the GFE hooker leaves promptly.

fun fact: "pretty woman" was released in 1990, which likely makes it older than the contestant. if you are gonna go to the way back machine at least mention something like "fried green tomatoes"

i think "pretty woman" gets an easy pass because people don't remember it that well. i mean now it is even shown on the disney channel. edited of course but still, a wtf moment when i saw it on the schedule
