Miss Ohio Audrey Bolte on Sunday cited Julia Roberts' prostitute character in the film Pretty Woman as a role where women were portrayed in an "accurate and positive way."
Do you think women are depicted in movies and on television in an accurate and positive way? And please give us an example," Judge Marilu Henner asked the top five finalist during Sunday's Miss USA pageant on NBC.
"I think it depends on the movie," Bolte replied. "I think there are some movies that depict women in a very positive role, and then some movies that put them in a little bit more of negative role. But by the end of the movie, they show that woman power that I know we all have."
"Such as movie Pretty Woman," she pointed out. "We had a wonderful, beautiful woman, Julia Roberts, and she was having a rough time, but, you know what, she came out on top and she didnt let anybody stand in her path."

Not surprising. She's a contestant in a parade of meat, not a Nobel Prize winner

LOVE how Ana from TYT gets worked up over right wing idiocy.
Via Mediaite: "Greg Gutfeld, 20% of Fox News' The Five, raised more hackles than a flock of geese at a screening of The Sixth Sense when he opined that the National Organization for Women is now superfluous because women have secured the right to shop. During Tuesday's online edition of The Young Turks, co-host Ana Kasparian said what a lot of people were probably thinking: "Fuck you!"...".
