Sex and the City

Yesterday I watched an episode of "Sex and the City" and it was all about the different portrayals of men and women. The main character Carrie expressed how in New York City there is often more older single women than their are older single men. She explains how men tend to marry younger and settle and how it is harder for a woman to do so. She also talks about sex and how in society men are much more casual about sex. She even goes on to test this theory by having sex with a man and then leaving as soon as its over by making up some excuse about work. This episode displays how society often portrays women and how men are usually the dominant species in sex and relationships. Carrie explained after having acted like the man she felt powerful and more energetic for her day. She felt like the dominant one in the relationship. She explained that society depicts men and women in completely different ways and that it is ok for men to act this way but it is not acceptable for women to act in this manner.
