    Maria is and always be a sexual object as much as she is portrayed in a character of her movies. Maria’s sexual role is not much different than Ruth, the character of “Green Girl” by Kate Zambreno. Zambreno compares Maria and Ruth as two persons in one essence.

    The first article, written by Aine F. Lorie, looks into four themes in the movie Sex and the City which best depicts the show’s attempt in reversal of the female gender in portraying female empowerment. This includes fashion, homo-socialization, hetero-socialization and female sexuality. It is understood that all the female characters in this series are obsessed and not afraid to splurge when it comes to fashion. One example on how fashion assists in female empowerment is when the female protagonist, Carrie Bradshaw jokingly told her friend “I like my money where I can see it, in my closet”. This statement suggests that items such as shoes (fashion) is used to measure socio-economic status and owning such items boosts the confidence of a…

    On September 20, 1984 a show aired that changed the way we view gender roles on television. Television still perpetuates traditional gender stereotypes and in reflecting them TV reinforces them by presenting them as the norm (Chandler, 1). The Cosby Show, challenged the typical gender stereotyping of television, daring to go against the dominant social values of its time period. In its challenge of the dominant social view, the show redefined the portrayal of male and female roles in television. It redefined the gender role in the work place, in social expectations, and in household responsibilities. The Cosby Show supported Freidan in her view of "castigating the phony happy housewife heroine of the women's magazines" (Douglas 136).…

    In the satire of the sexes, Egalia’s Daughters by Gerd Brantenberg, there is put forth a society different from which has ever been present in modern times. This would be a society where women were at the forefront and did the decision making, worked and held governmental positions. The men were portrayed in the way females live in present society, though it was often exaggerated to make that point. Men were dominated and ruled by women and had to do their bidding and cook for them and take care of the children, so on and so forth. By taking a hard look at how sexuality is imagined and experienced on all analytical levels and picking apart the social construction of gender in Egalia’s Daughters, society itself in the present can start to be unraveled as well. What is found in this book can transfer over to a point and parallel itself with present experiences of women and their struggle for equality, recognition and acknowledgement.…

    Rebecca talks about all the ways, the HBO series, Sex and the City feeds in to the hegemonic feminist narrative. She says that this show is a perfect example of how hegemonic feminism operates. The show is centered around a group of White women who are all oppressed by patriarchy. The aim is for them to become equals to the white men in society. The narrative develops them while exploiting marginalized groups. White feminist forget that there are more things to consider that just gender. Race, sexual preference, class, and age all fall under their radar. When people of color appear on the show, they are one-dimensional characters based off stereotypes. The people…

    Within today’s western world, women are often subjected to critical analysis and study when they are portrayed within the media and other influential forms of communicative channels. They are portrayed as objects of desire for the eye of the public and thus sex is a tool to attract customers. The consequence of this is that is can represent women as sex objects, provide unrealistic beauty standards and disregard a woman’s character and accomplishment: a set of values that give a negative portrayal of women. There is a general consensus within the media of what a woman should be like, that of an ideal that is unachievable by most, yet who see it as the epitome of what they can be.…

    Furthermore, the series utilizes the voice-over technique, the omniscient narrator’s near zoological description of “the typical suburban household” makes the show appear as a glorified how-to guide instructing young women how to become perfect housewives. In, “Help, Don’t Save Me,” Samantha plays a small role in her husband, Darrin’s, advertisement campaign. Darrin sees his wife support as an act of emasculation. Samantha, a woman, had abandoned her domestic sphere and usurped his position as the “breadwinner” of the house. Television techniques such as cutting and editing are used throughout the series as a means to reinforce its surreal premise. The diverse target audience as well as the show’s relative success supports my hypothesis stating the general apathy towards gender equality across gender…

    Gayle Rubin created the sex/gender system concept in the year 1975. She created this term to offer a new way of thinking about the difference between sex and gender. She defined the sex/gender system as “the set of arrangements by which a society transforms biological sexuality into products of human activity, and which these transformed sexual needs are satisfied” (WRWC, 2015). The sex/gender system has many explanations that attempt to address how our sex plays a role in how we learn gender. A few of these theories include: cognitive-developmental theory, social learning theory, gender schema theory, social interactions and gender roles, and lastly, performativity theory. In this essay I will explain how the sex/gender system is created and reinforced from the perspectives of feminist theorists.…
