This week I was watching the first episode of season 5 of Sex and the City, "Anchors Away." Basically, this episode is about "Fleet week" in NYC where a bunch of navy guys are in the city. Carrie and Charlotte, two of the main characters are looking for a hot navy guy. One of the guys stops Carrie in the middle of the street and invites them to a big navy party at the end of the week, and of course they accept. So, at the end of the week the girls are at the party.
I thought it was kind of strange that every navy person at the party was male. In reality, there are many women in the navy. I thought that this episode (and of course MANY of the Sex and the City episodes) was stereotyping. This episode was stereotyping that just men are in the navy. Also, I noticed that all of the men were model like men that were good looking and physically fit. I thought that this was saying that all men in the navy are in great shape and look like models. Although this was a good episode, there were a lot of things said about gender.
Thanks for your time!
