Summarizer #6: Jenny

Ned worked with a pregnant young lady around the age of 18 and was very surprised at the way she put herself out there by displaying her body in order to sell products. The image of this teenager was stuck in the back of my mind. They described how she pushed up her boobs while opening up her shirt, and also wore a short skirt. They went into a workshop full of men thinking this would get them to buy the product. It made Ned feel degraded that our sex would go so far to be successful. At the same time, she talks about how she would, without thinking about it, flirt with her boss because it was what women were supposed to do. The young lady shows how desperate some women are and how far they would go for their success. She also elaborated on her discovery that work is seen in a sexual manner for some men and that they use their macho-ness and strength in words to work the people into buying their product.
