No Sex, No Problem
February 27, 2004
Suzanne Fields isn't too broken up about the end of HBO's "Sex and the City." For all the show's wit and stylishness - and many of the earlier episodes had an abundance of both - it was never the feminist celebration that the critics said it was, unless feminism is about female freedom to exploit sex in multiples of various kinds. It's hardly a victory for feminism, it seems to me, for women to do unto men as they have been done unto.

I too am not dismayed about the ending of Sex and the City. As the acting was poor and so was the portrayal of women. They began the series as a feminist’s dream about 4 independent women who loved their fashion, drinking, socialite parties, Manhattan and sex. It was all about 3 women who preferred living out of reality and 1 woman whose role was to be the “weird” one amongst her friends because she wanted to be married and have babies. See, for those women who live in the real world, we know that single women in their mid 30’s are not lovin’ a life of bed hopping, drinking at parties filled with 20 year olds, sneaking puffs of mary jane at dive bars, and/or experimenting with lesbianism. Those women are miserable and whether they want to admit it or not, they do not want to be alone. And the last episode proved that even these callused women who rebelled against conforming to the “traditional” norms of what an acceptable woman should be, conformed, at least to come extent in order to give it a happy ending. I am glad the crap show is off the air :) Posted by: Naarski at February 27, 2004 03:58 PMIn college we had a teacher who just took off. The week before she left, she showed us tapes of Sex in the City. What a crappy show. If this neofeminism is all about being a little whore, then I guess I'm a tomboy.
