Apparently I have brains in my ovaries because that show was as shallow as Paris Hilton's wide set vagina. Women consider “Sex and the City” to be powerful?

They talked about it all the time...plus there were several shows where she talked about maxing out her cards and then the one where she couldn't get a loan for her apartment cause she was broke after spending all her money on shoes. It wasn't like Friends- that show should piss you off for being unrealistic. She lived in a rent controlled apartment- it was like 750 a month with utilities.

I have to weigh in on this one. It's a TV show, so everybody just calm the fuck down. SATC was the first show that showed a side of women that most men never see, and also the first show that explored adult relationships in the modern age honestly. People don't marry with the frequency that they used to, especially not in bigger cities like NY and LA. The entire dynamic of the dating scene has completely changed in the past 15 years, and this was the first show to take us inside it. There is more casual sex, more experimentation, more open bisexuality, etc. As far as the breakdown of the actual characters: Samantha- I'm tired of hearing her labeled a slut- it's purely because she's a woman. If she was a man, you'd wouldn't label her the same way. It's pretty chauvinistic to state she's fucking to fill a void- do you make the same observation regarding your male friends? Miranda- Yes, she was cranky and miserable...and also a partner in a law firm who got knocked up by her ex boyfriend and dealt with being a single mom until she married him. Yes, she made mistakes. Charlotte- She could make decisions on her own. In fact, if you watched the show, you'd see she was always making decisions on her own- crazy, nutty ones that got her into trouble. Carrie- Carrie Bradshaw would NEVER read Cosmo. You're such a boy. Carrie was Vogue...and yes, she was materialistic. Yes, she made a lot of crappy choices. She belonged with Big- because he was a total asshole to her and she was a crazy bitch to him. Again, it's ridiculous to even break them down this way- they are characters on a TV show. It's not like I have to run over to another blog to defend Charlie Sheen's character on Two and a Half Men. Why does this cause so much debate? I do agree with you on women trying to embody the characters- I hate that. I also hate that women are wrapped up in Twlight. LAME. Okay. I have to weigh in on this one.

I cannot believe you wrote 800 words on Sex and the City PLUS the x-number of words you wrote the LAST time you wrote about SatC and lived to talk about it! I suggest you turn on any sport you can find and man yourself up before YOU start reading Cosmo! (Oh, wait, you already do...) I said it on Twitter and I’ll say it again.

Any male on that show over the years was 10 times as interesting than those 4. Unfortunately I couldn't watch Roger Sterling on Mad Men without remembering he once played a guy that wanted to piss all over Carrie Bradshaw. Most guys wouldn't want to piss on her if she was on fire. I’ve gone in and out of watching the show…but mostly for the men.
