Sex and the City: Blog #1
In order to kick off my Sex and the City Blog Series I would like to set the record straight from the jump - - - > I absolutely love this series BUT I feel that we as women have been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, and run amok! Why? Because I feel like it made females running around sleeping with - my bad - ‘dating’ a bunch of different guys look like the thing to do. And it also made all the negatives this type of lifestyle brings was the fault of the men and not the women. I love all these girls but I now realize that they were entirely too sexual. It’s crazy how blind I was before because I didn’t see it. I remember there was a radio dj who said, “Man, this is just a show about females in their late thirties being h@&.” Many females were appalled when he said that, but now that I look back at it - he was right. Why? Because these women had a pattern of one night stands and sleeping with men to quickly. We didn’t see it because we were blinded by the fantasy of fashion and the fast life. Morals? Who said anything about morals? As long as you are fashionable, have great girlfriends, and a well paying job you’re ok. You don’t have to take any responsibility for your actions.
The first 3 minutes of the very first episode sets the tone. Let’s do a quick over view:
It starts off with a lady who had recently moved from London to New York that met one of New York’s most eligible bachelors at an art gallery one night. Carrie goes on to narrate that the two had a wonderful first 2 weeks together filled with dating, dancing, and you guessed it - -> sex. One day they went house hunting and he pops the ‘question’ to her, “Would you like to have dinner with me and my parents?” You could just imagine how happy she was to oblige him. You could also imagine how crushed she was when he called to cancel and then proceeded to never call her again. She attempted to get an answer out of him when she contacted him 2 weeks later, but he said that he was busy and again never returned her call.
Wow. Anyone would be devastated if that were to happen to them. I can remember thinking the guy was a jerk and that the lady had done nothing wrong. But now as an adult, who knows better, I can tell exactly what she did wrong. She had sex with this man WAY too quickly and mistook her feelings, along with his misleading, for something real. And like many naive females do, they can reason away all of their mistakes and make it look like it was entirely the man’s fault. All the while they go straight back into that pattern of sleeping with someone (or even making more of something that’s not there) too soon and hurting ourselves all over again.
This pattern is dangerous and only hurts us. This pattern is replicated over and over again throughout the entire series. Even though there are 4 distinctive characters, their pattern is still the same, it’s just tailored for different personality types.
But hey, it makes for great entertainment. In future blogs we will dig deeper into the series.
Toodles!
