"I watch it, so should you!" - Samantha - Feminist(?) - Jones Part 2

Great that you have checked back here for the conclusion of "Samantha - Feminist(?) - Jones"! In the first part of this "I watch it, so should you!" you got an overview about who Samantha Jones is and what her life in a short cut is like. Also I have schooled you about what feminism really is. You hopefully still know what these three waves have been about. Okay, so we will get started:

The third wave of feminism is all about decision making. So lets play the game of "Give me the stereotypes!" In this game I will give you the stereotypical, if forced horribly wrong, picture of what the stupid parts of society think a woman is supposed to be. She has to have children and raise them, get married before 30, be loyal to her husband,  keep up the house, eventually have a job, cook and bake, wash and steam iron, support her family and sacrifice her own luck for the families. So basically she should be a wife, mother, worker, housewife, partner in life and supporter at once. Pretty much a very conservative picture of a woman, not to say a horrible picture. From this point of view she could even be an Amish woman. (#SorryNotSorry about the Amish comment!)

"I watch it, so should you!" - Samantha - Feminist(?) - Jones Part 1

"Sex and the City" for six, and even more years, has been the holy grail of what nearly everybody (including many straight men) considers to be a "women series".  Not only the high quotes made HBO loving this series, but also the good storytelling and good stories made it a viewer’s favorite. But a series about 4 single women, all straight, ultimately leads to the question: Is this series to be considered pro feminism or not, especially with a character like Samantha Jones?

Okay for those of you who live under a rock, behind the moon or have been hiding somewhere without Internet, TV or some other media i will give you a sum up of who Samantha Jones is. Samantha Jones is a 42 year woman (in the first season) who has her own PR firm and is a successful business woman. Unlike many others her age Samantha is not interested in finding a man to marry, or already being married, rather more finding a man to fuck her. And if possible a different one(s) for each and every day of the week. Throughout the 6 seasons of "Sex and the City" she had some relationships and some even a bit longer, but she had never had the urge to make her walk up the isle. Basically you get the picture, I guess: The female equivalent of a toxic bachelor, who is in charge of her own finances and life. But: is her "whoring it up", as I like to call it (And I am all "pro whore" and in favor of such women), understood to be feminist or rather not? Can we call Samantha - Fuckenstein (Insiders will get what I am preaching ^^) - Jones a feminist?

Okay first things first: best would be to give you all a short layout on what feminism really is, because its lot more than "Go Green" and "I'm burning my bra for gender equality" women! Feminism basically can be divided up into three waves and is an umbrella term for all movements, theories and ideologies that try to work on establishing an defining equality of the genders in all terms, including politics, social things and such stuff. The first wave of feminism could be dated back to the 19th and early 20th century. During that time women fought for really basic rights which we consider given for each and every one of us, such as the right to vote, own stuff and having right in a marriage.
