The summary is that the television program, I Dream of Jeannie was an old show that focused on a genie who had been trapped in a bottle for 2000 years because she refused to marry the Dijon. Like so many television programs during this time period female characters were portrayed as not having equal rights. Although this show was created clearly for entertainment purposes it showed our society that women were inferior to men and was quite sexist.
An example of the show being sexist was each time Major Anthony Nelson called Jeannie or whistled for her to come to him she would always comply. Throughout the years our culture has changed how women are viewed in Hollywood, Politics, & everyday careers which is a good thing.
