After reading Levy's chapter, I find it astounding that many women feel they need to either completely embrace chauvinism and "act like a man" or completely reject it in the name of feminism. Modern culture has evolved to the point where women should be able to accept female displays of sexuality and raunch culture while still handling themselves intellectually in the business world. Levy discusses Carrie Gerlach who has risen up in Sony but admits to wearing provocative clothing an taking advantage of her looks. In the competitive business world, I believe it is perfectly acceptable and smart to use one's looks as a stepping stone regardless of gender. This does not demean their intellect or true talents, we just happen to live in a competitive society based on networking and taking advantage of opportunities. many qualified people never progress or meet there potential because they have missed out on an opportunity, not because they are unqualified. Women should fell encouraged to take advantage of her good looks while still pursuing an intellectual approach. Levy says that women on "The Man Show" degrade themselves but that men are still not surprised when they see a female doctor. This is because modern culture has seen the evolving of women who both embrace sexuality, laugh about raunch culture, and still aspire in the business world as well. That is a positive step in our society.
