This would all seem like business as usual except that when The Ugly Truth opened last weekend, exasperation with such misogyny reached some sort of tipping point.

Here, harmlessly embedded in one of our favorite methods of procrastination, is a potent symbol for the new century. Where have all of these women gone?
