The “Sex and the City” franchise continues to stoke debate, but reader Kate’s reaction to the show – and film – stood out to me.
Check out her thoughts, particularly her parting shot:
I’ve always disliked ‘SATC’ because I did not find the women smart and sexy. I thought they were dumb and ugly. It’s funny how critics of ‘SATC’ think the reason is because the four women are sexual. But that is not the case for me. Indeed, I liked the show ‘Girlfriends’ (check it out) who are very sexy and smart … and black and nicer to each other! But what gets my goat about ‘SATC’ is the way it’s marketed, highlighting Sarah Jessica Parker and ignoring the other women 90 percent of the time. The other women get side lined (the less fancy clothes, less dialog, less attractive boyfriends). My friends with happy lives and good relationships with men (and fun, active sex lives) scoff at ‘SATC.’ My friends with men and money issues relate to ‘SATC.’

I don’t recall where I read it, but someone once wrote the really big joke about SATC is that it’s not a show about four women, it’s about four gay men.
