This article discusses that women taking control of their sexuality and objectifying themselves are not, in fact, the same thing. For as long as I can remember, I have heard women complain about the way men look and talk about them, how they objectify us. This is a true statement. Most of them do. However, this article is the first time I have heard
Essentially, the entertainments that we see and hear from men deal with violence, and women entertain the viewers sexually. Evidently, the ads presented in “Two ways a woman can get hurt,” Kilbourne expounds on how women’s sexual appeal hurts themselves. In “From Fly-Girls to Bitches and Hos,” Morgan relates gender behavior to hip hop lyrics. Furthermore, she questions
He couldn’t possibly leave Daisy until he knew what she was going to do. He was clutching at some last hope..(155)” that didn’t even exist anymore. Daisy had already chosen Tom, but Gatsby couldn't believe that since he loved for her for too long just to let her go. Gatsby's love for Daisy had become obsessive and that’s what Fitzgerald presents to us. Five years had passed since they had last seen each other yet Gatsby still let his love burn for Daisy and kept it growing until it became so obsessed with meeting her again that he led himself to believe things that weren’t completely true.
His true intentions of holding this shindigs so often is to attract his former flame Daisy, Nick's cousin, to see if he can relight their flame that was never fully blown out.

After Gatsby went to serve in the war, he lost contact with her for some five years and during this time she met a man of equal wealth that filled the gapping hole in her heart. The secrets then begin to come into play. Gatsby eventually comes in contact with Daisy and renews their long lost love, in secret of course.
The Great Gatsby, was written by F. Scott Fitzergerald. This book is about a man named Jay Gatsby, who is in love with a woman named Daisy Buchanan. The characters in this book are all superficial. They’re all cheaters and are denying something that’s wrong in their life. The superficial nature of Daisy is that she’s pretending she’s in a happy marriage with Tom, when she’s not.
Stella is the wife of Stanley and also the main character in my opinion. She’s a huge dope, who’s fallen in love with the wrong guy. Even after Stanley hits her she still comes back to him “There is the sound of a blow [and] Stella cries out”. She’s blinded by how things used to be between them when they first started dating. Stella is willing to look past everything Stanley does because she loves him and that makes her the fool of the play.
Margaret Macomber’s love for her husband is debatable at best. She seems much more interested in flirting with their guide, Robert Wilson, than in encouraging her husband. In fact, she is brazen and unabashed about her sexual dalliance with Wilson and taunts her husband with it. Hemingway writes that she is “an extremely handsome and well-kept woman.” The phrase “well-kept” is particularly revealing in its multiple meanings. On one hand, Margot is fashionable and presents herself well.
Streetcar Named Desire, a Play by Tennessee Williams explores themes of women being chameleons by blah . she picks her husband over her own sister which highlights the dependency of her on her husband. Despite the various times her husband, Stanley beats up Stella, her “love” for Stanley overpowers her and she overlooks his temper and even considers it a passion. Stella is a representation of typical women in the 1940’s society. Stella is dependant on men to the point that she chooses to disbelieve her sister was raped by her husband, just so she can go living with him because life without the support of a man is unthinkable.

The Freak is a ‘‘bad girl’’ who gains male attention through an overt sexual persona. She appears sexually liberated, empowered, and seeks sex solely for physical satisfaction, not for a relationship. A debate rages over weather the Freak reflects a true persona of sexual empowerment, or if she is simply reinforcing and falling victim to male desires about female sexuality. In contrast, women who choose not engage in sexual acts with men and enter relationships exclusively with women are referred to as Dykes. Within this frame, heterosexuality is viewed as the natural emotional and sexual inclination for women, and those who go against this are seen as deviant, pathological or as emotionally and sensually deprived (Lorde 1984; Pharr and Raymond 1997).
