Stereotypes of women based on Sex and the City by Candace Bushnell

During the 1920s, women gained new freedoms and roles in society. World War I gave women new responsibilities on the home front and working outside the home. The passage of the 19th amendment in 1920 granted women the right to vote. This empowered women and led to more holding political offices and jobs in various fields like teaching, nursing, and social work. The 1920s saw the rise of the flapper, as young women embraced a more independent and fun-loving lifestyle through fashion and behavior. However, conservative values still conflicted with this new social freedom for women.

The document discusses the changing roles and perceptions of women in American society from the late 19th century to the 1960s-1980s. It describes how the Gibson Girl of the 1890s portrayed independent yet feminine women, but her influence waned after World War I as women were expected to stay home. The feminist movements of the 1960s-1980s fought against this, sparked by Betty Friedan's 1963 book The Feminine Mystique which argued that women lost their identity through their families. Legal reforms established more equal rights for women in areas like employment, education, and reproductive rights.

Those who have come to Schulweis know they are hated and rejected in society. They live in silent shame and fear of revealing their sexuality.

Here are some key points of discussion regarding the ethics of these advertisements: - The kitchen ad objectifies and sexualizes women by focusing primarily on the model's physical appearance and implied sexuality rather than the product itself. This could promote the harmful idea that women are objects for male pleasure/consumption. - In contrast, the hospital ad avoids overt sexualization and instead emphasizes the professional roles and skills of the female doctors/nurses.
