Sex & the city

Friday, February 8

Do you remember? Four women of the new generation - young, money dosn't matter, pleasure is everything - wander about New York on irritatingly high heels, and it was a hoggish prey for all life has to offer.

«Sex and the City» was one of the most popular TV series and a triumph of brand fetishism. But also of feminism in the sens as to having as much vigor as men, not least in sex. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and especially Samantha (Kim Cattrall) showed décolleté and brains, they loved the men, and they used them.

But sex and relationship - oh, that was mutually exclusive. These women wanted orgasms, not comprehension. They did not want to put the tea on, discuss problems, and «develop their personalities». They did not sleep with teir men only that they would once listen afterwards. If they wanted a boyfriend they bought a stuffed dog. No, never did it occur to these women to transform the wild beast - passion - into a useful anomai. Now, that is how it was in the beginning. Women, however, who chose their role models from this series soon had to relearn. One day, one was no proud number anymore even in «Sex and the City». The affairs became longer, there were children, marriage, buying houses. In other words: the establishment repulsed. The continuance in the movies does not know any better: even more children, even more marriages, even more houses.


Sad, but true: Not only in real life, but also in the entertainment industry do children and husbands seem to provide more dynamite than overly exciting affairs in series. It was T. S. Eliot, der sagte: «This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.»
