Word Picture


Sex and the City is one of my favorite TV shows that eventually turned into a successful movie.  Sex and the City TV show is about four women living in Manhattan, New York looking for love and to reach their dream. This show is an inspiration to many women in the world. This show shows how women do not have it easy. Each character is the type some girl could relate to, and there are not many shows like this. Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda challenge the “norm” of society, they want to be independent. The show goes into what women might go through on a daily basis, either of love, work, or friendship. I think it is an important show; it helps other women see and understand each other. Some people might disagree saying the show is inappropriate; women shouldn’t be sleeping with any guy they meet, etc. It is a double standard that they are implying, why should it be okay for men to do that and not women. When women want to sleep with someone, they are considered “sluts” or “trashy”, when in reality men do the same, just that they don’t get judge for it.  So these episodes come to show its okay for women to experiment and not feel bad about it. Not just about sex though, it is also an empowerment for women. For example, Samantha Jones is one of the biggest publicists in New York, and even has her own company. Miranda is a successful lawyer, and works in one of the biggest law firms. They both worked hard and their aspirations became reality.
