Why I dislike Carrie Bradshaw.


Here Greta Christina describes most eloquently why I hate "Sex and the City". Come on gals, stop trying to pretend that you're all such uber-feminists who are breaking some kind sexual mold.

I only wish I could have expressed it so well myself.

But I still think there is nothing wrong with a great pair of expensive shoes.

Love some good shoes... Hate that fucking show... Well, can't say I've ever really watched it. Ick.

Shannie, somehow I can't imagine the two of us sitting around sipping cosmos, wearing $1000 shoes, and kvetching about men. I can, however, imagine us slugging Wild Turkey, barefoot, bitching about our lack of valium.

I don't understand how it's been hailed as "erotic feminism." Who said that? Is that the same officious prat who once indicated in Time that Ally McBeal is a modern icon of feminism?

There is absolutely NOTHING erotic about Sex in the City (Carrie FARTS in bed, for shit's sake), and those who label shallow, self-important women in careers that are so blatantly gender-specific as "feminists" have got much to learn.

I don't watch Sex in the City for the shoe-whoring and Prada-talk. Nor do I watch it to see a "true" representation of the everyday career gal's life and loves. That's a load of bollocks.

No, I watch it to see people farting in bed.
