かわいい魔女ジニー 質問

Do あなた think the 表示する is sexist?

I used to 愛 I Dream of Jeannie when I was a kid and the 表示する recently started airing again. I was very happy to see it back on the air because I do think it's a great 表示する and a lot of fun. But after watching a couple episodes (and some other old shows like the Jetsons) I realised that Jeannie, as much as we all 愛 her, is a stereotype of the man's ideal woman (from the man's point of view). She's blonde, extremely ditzy, beautiful, she calls him "master" and all she wants to do is serve him (I understand that she's a genie and he is actually her master in this 表示する but the name and that bind to him adds to her appeal). She's even willing to give up her powers just to marry him and be a housewife. I really do 愛 the 表示する but boy was I offended when I worked out this connection!

I didn't grow up watching the 表示する または anything but I have fallen in 愛 with it. I do not think it is sexist just because Jeannie is man's ideal woman and that is what Sidney Sheldon (the creator) was getting at. There is no reason to think that the 表示する is sexist just because she is willing to give up her powers for Tony and become a housewife. That is a sacrafice that she wanted to make and clearly, you, snoznoodle, do not understand the fact that she is a genie and as such, she calls him "Master". That is just how that 表示する ran, and quite frankly, I believe あなた are nuts at being offended just because she is mans ideal woman. I mean, geez why would あなた be offended at the fact that she is blonde, ditzy, beautiful and calls him master? That is nothing to be offended about that.

thought this 表示する was sexist when I was 8(I saw it in reruns) I just thought Jeannie ws the classic ditsy blonde & thought it was annoying how she called Major Nelson "Master"(Yeah,yeah,I realize she was a Genie but still..) & her stilted way of speaking ;come on,could'nt she pick up modern speech? 奥さまは魔女 was the better show,Imo,Samantha was smart & her ways of helping out Darren were もっと見る subtle & not silly.

The answer to this 質問 is a resounding "Yes!" but the same could be true of all the shows we liked to watch in the 70s & 80s. For example, Samantha in Bewitched, she may be a witch with powerful magic but she's just a stay at mom with a child. The 表示する needn't have been so sexist, ditzy & blonde if the plot did not include the geni falling 愛 with her master and wanting to be human to marry him. I used to enjoy the 表示する too as a kid but now on 上, ページのトップへ of being sexist I also think it's incredibly corny in the 芝居 style and the dialogue. Afterall, actors then didn't find the character within as with Wolverine played によって Hugh Jackman rather they simply acted.

The 表示する WASNT sexist, dizzy または blonde! Obviously あなた don't understand the fact that that time period was different. The 70's and 80's were different from the 60s. Now, the 芝居 was great and as was the dialouge, and if あなた find the 表示する "corny" then dont watch it!

Coming from somene who hates everything that's sexists, and feel that women are もっと見る then just the wife and mother in sociality, I have to disagree. Just because the points your making don't add up to be sexistism.

Yes, Jeannie is the Ideal woman. she's pretty, and willing to do everything to please Tony, but she does it because she wants too. In fact, Tony hates it when she does stuff for him, and he wants her to be herself and such. where as shows like Bewitched, it's the complete opposite. Darrin hates Sam's powers and wants her to live her life being the housewife and raise their kids. it's revolting to watch that. now, there are some episodes where Tony's trying to make Jeannie a human because of her powers, but that's because Jeannie herself takes pleasing him to far, to the point where it drives him mad. it's not because he thinks he's better then her または anything based on the fact that she's a woman and he's a man.

Now, there's a episode called "The Americanizan of Jeannie." I think that's the title.in Season 1? and in that Episode Tony wants Jeannie to become a tipical american woman. but in the end of the episode he comes to realize that it doesn't matter what she's like, because she's Jeannie, he doesn't care either way, regardless of the ending, in the episode Tony expects Jeannie to clean house, yes but not physical labor. she's a Genie he expects her to blink it because she can, not because it's her place.

Turth be told, in my opinion based on the time that 'I Dream Of Jeannie' was on the air, it kind of showed signs of not being sexist.
for examples?
-Tony not wanting her to give him anything.
-Tony hating being called master.
-Jeannie taking control over everything in the man's life.

I don't understand how あなた could think she's stupid, because she was actually smart. she just didn't think everything through. she was inplusive. that itself does not mean she was ditzy. lol.
also, あなた have to think. it's fictional. set in 1960-70s. and Jeannie is a Genie. their own goal is to give their masters anything あなた want によって nature, which in the 1960 was considered sexy. in fact there are some episodes where Jeannie gets traded to a woman, and she has no choice but to listen to them, because whoever has the bottle, has the Genie, but によって the end Tony saves her and becomes her master again. so really is has nothing to do with Tony being a man, but her master, and the fact that she loves him. :)

wow. this was long. haha. sorry. I hope I made some good bebates.

:D. I think the episode あなた are talking about though is in a different season where Tony tries to change Jeannie によって giving her a book, but in the end, realizes it was wrong and takes the book back. But that was a good ディベート as well.

First of all, yes i agree that men wanted a certain woman but it was womens fault for giving it to them. I understand that men were and are sexist but the fact of the matter is that women would not have been put down all of these centuries if they had not been trying to model themselves after what man want. women are always blaming men for putting them down but they ALLOWED them to put them down. just because men want something of あなた does not mean あなた have to give it to them. There's always two sides to the story. Just as women took control a few decades 前 and got their rights they could have gotten them a long time 前 if they had had the courage.I think that jeannie is stupid for the fact that she kept getting tricked によって her sister and for the fact that she has no common sense but this 表示する is not sexist. Major Nelson never wanted her to do stuff for him and would have married her before if she hadn't been a genie. in fact major nelson is an エンジェル because jeannie was stuuuuuuuuuuupid!

Well in thoughs 日 yes there was a lot of sexist on tv. but has times changed all that much. but far as Jeannie goes, maybe または maybe not, well would あなた give up some thing for the one あなた loved ? in this 日 and time no one want to give up anything for any one. we want it all..
what would あなた give up for the one あなた were in 愛 with to be with them ? in スーパーマン 2, he gave up his power for Lois. because he loved her, so if Jeannie giving up her power for Tony is sexist, what is スーパーマン when he gives up his for Lois ?

its not the fact that she gives up stuff for him I have a problem with its how he treats ger, he yells at her and punishes her like his child and he was ashamed of her and wouldnt marry her. samantha on 奥さまは魔女 was a strong charactor who gave up magic because she wanted to and used itvwith reason. she stood up to darren

Not in the way other users view it but yes in a differentvway. He treats her like a child and she is his jeanie who gives in to his every command but he takes her for granted. He doesnt marry her and she still stays with him, I find it abnoxous. Indisagree about bewiched because she stands up to darren, she shows that she has a say.
