paper one blog

My paper is on the show "Sex and the City", I'm sure everyone knows it, and I'm sure people think that it is really progressive and bringing us closer to feminist TV. But I just want to point out how often Carrie and the other women depend on a man to help them or fix something or bail them out. First off the entire show revolves around two things, the friendships and the relationships. But has anyone noticed that even Samantha who never wanted a relationship ended up with Smith Jarred in the end?! Single women just can not be in TV, it is not seen as a happy ending. We need a show where the women are not stereotyped as stupid and ditzy and instead shown as smart strong women who make good choices. We need a show where if the woman does not end up with a man it doesn't mean there is no happy ending, just a different type of happy ending. This is really setting a bad example for teenage girls, because they watch these movies and shows think they have to dumb them selves down to get a guy to like them and also need a man to be happy. we need better role models for young girls.
