I think it depends on the movie. 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. 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....
Ok, I know I like to stir the pot of the battle of the sexes here now and again, but this is just idiotic, IMO. I have to admit I've never seen the movie "Pretty Woman", but I know the general storyline. Here are some movies that I would have chosen as showing women in a strong way; Norma Rae, Silkwood and Erin Brockovich.
What others can you think of?
Here's the question she was asked:
Do you think women are depicted in movies and on television in an accurate and positive way? And please give us an example.
