Women makes most of the financial decisions in the household and need free time to focus on their consumption. It’s because women are the project manager of the family. And that consumption has to be financed by men. That’s why men finds it important to make money and women finds it important to have a job that allows them to be flexible. In Sex and the City these values are marketed with consumption in the pursuit of finding happiness and a partner. And what other chance would they have for that kind of product placement? If women were making their own money and work for a living, like most of us do, they would be more independent and have less time for consume. So how can you fit in Manolos into that equation?
