    The Ugly Truth’s Ugly Past: Vogue's Daily Coverage of Fashion, Beauty, Parties and More on Style.com

    Really interesting article from Vogue on how Hollywood can't produce a respectable and likeable career woman character...even when all women are the creative forces behind the film. The reasoning is that strong working women don't appeal to adolescent boys -- movie audiences' key demographic.

    Quoted: Predictably, it’s the lewd beast who schools the brainy, high-powered beauty. ... 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. Not only did critics assail the film’s sexism, they also pointedly called out by name the women behind it: actor-producer Heigl, screenwriters Nicole Eastman, Karen McCullah Lutz, and Kirsten Smith, and Sony Pictures cochairman Amy Pascal, who runs Columbia Pictures.
