How do Daisy, Myrtle, and Jordan relate to today's women?

This could be a rather dangerous question.  I think that
it's important to not see too much into gender statements in works like Fitzgerald's.  I
feel that he might not be making a declarative notion on gender as much as one on the
nature of human beings.  I think that it's important to make that known.  If we are to
take something from the depiction of Daisy, Myrtle, and Jordan, it would be the
superficiality that exists then still does today.  Yet, this is not something limited to
women.  Tom is fairly superficial as well and his macho and self inflated vision of
identity is something we see in today's setting, as well.  I think that Fitzgerald might
be making an overall statement about the way in which people behave as being relevant to
the modern setting.  In constructing people who crave social acceptance over all else,
he has established a fundamental belief of the lack of real or substantive values within
such pursuits.  This is not as much limited to gender as it is a statement about human
beings, as a whole.
