Sometimes I feel like the only person who thinks the show and movies "Sex and the City" are a big waste of time and money. I've seen enough episodes to distinguish that these four flat characters are nothing but under-worked, materialistic, confused and shallow women. All I see is a show that represents women as people who do not know what they want, live to spend exorbitant amounts of money on shoes and obsess over meaningless sex and cocktails.
I think I might be putting more work into this blog than those writers put into their scripts and then bunches of women fall for these four like they are the greatest role models in the world. What do these women do that is so amazing? They buy over priced clothes, date losers, and they never seem to be working yet afford huge apartments in Manhattan.
I'll give the character Samantha a little credit; she, for the most part, knows what she wants, focuses on her career, and has the mindset of a stereotypical male and she seems genuinely satisfied with her lifestyle. However, the other three are a sad and depressing mess and I am almost embarrassed to be a woman when watching any of their interactions.
What's worse is that it drives me nuts that other women find these characters appealing and don't see through the sad, miserable lives these women have made for themselves.
