Defending Sex and the City!!

OK. I don't understand all the bashing that often comes from men on Sex and the City.

Here are some common sexist & ignorant comments made about Sex and the City from men:

1) It emasculates men.
What I say: Hello?!!! men objectify women in all their action movies!

2) Women are too materialistic
What I say: What's the difference between spending few hundred dollars on beautiful designer shoes and clothes versus men spending thousands of dollars on their wardrobe and tens of thousands on their luxury cars? Men are as materialistic.

3) These women are promiscuous.
What I say: So are men. At least these women are honest about it and own up to it. Also, as long as they hold onto their power, it's not a bad thing.

4) It's not real.
What I say: Whoever says SATC is not real obviously hasn't really sat down and watched the show.

5) It's about sex and materialism.
What I say: Once again, please watch the show! It's ultimately about real friendships and love. It's much more profound. Any show based on just sex and materialism would not leave such legacy and be so internationally popular. Just think about it!

I am a big fan of Sex and the City, and before you knock it, you should at least watch it to know what I am talking about and stop bashing it.
