Women & Sex

I was watching Sex and the City a few days ago and the discussion that we had about certain tv shows came to my mind. I was also thinking about the one Ad we watched in class on Tuesday. The people that were talking about the ad were saying that it was a bold move to put a female product like that so other people can see it. I got to thinking about what people were saying about the show Sex and the City and how most people find it too forward, no real woman is like the four that are on the show. I think that this tv show was a bold thing to bring to tv-women and sex, treating their relationships or one night stands into something that would be broadcasted for over five years. How can something like this stay on the air for this long? People dislike this show because it is also a bold statement. Woman are just like men, we have the same animal instincts, but it is wrong for a woman to act like a man. Who gives these double standards? Is it men, woman or both? Woman have come a long way since the begining of history. Now-a-days women are more likely to have jobs that men would have, are able to vote and should be able to have relations or relationships with whoever they please. I think that people have a certain ideal image of what women are, how they should act . That also got me to think about Orientalism and women. Where have these ideas and images of what a women is come from?
