SEX AND THE CITY SYNDROME....
This is all going to sound very hypocritical --as I watch the show and have a good laugh.
But what am I really laughing at?
To be honest, its the over exaggeration of the characters, how they have this 'sisters are doing it for their Self' attitudes, yet the whole series and last shows were based on women looking for the right men in their life...It really disappointed me.
The strange thing is, I had many friends like this in the past --very intelligent women who made it a big deal that they were earning a good wage, paying their life and living well...which is rightly so, and something to be proud of.... But then when you get them into a place where they are honest, a night out with them is just about how unhappy they are with not finding 'the one'...
Yet, in every relationship, the first sign of a bit of rough gets them calling the man a bad guy... Across the other side, the men are complaining about the exact same thing!
How do I know all that? I just watch it.
Its all gone way too far for me, I appreciate the original concepts of women liberating their lives, but I think some have just taken things a little too far.
Whats the shame in wanting to get married young?
Why look down on the natural process of having a baby?
Do we have to suddenly be in denial of our womaness to be a strong independant being?
What is a successful image of women nowadays?
