Salon Article About "Sex And The City"

Susannah Breslin at Salon interviewed sex writers, and asked their opinions on "Sex and the City", both the TV show and the movie. The sex writers interviewed are Lena Chen, Tracie Egan, Jamye Waxman, Rachel Kramer Bussel, and Susie Bright. All were critical of the TV show and movie except for Waxman. I agree with the nay-sayers.

Here is some of what Bright had to say, and I agree with her wholeheartedly.

The women of "Sex and the City," asserts Bright, aren't political. "They're desperate to get married. They obsess about their marital status." And they turned the sexual revolution for women of the new millennium into a business. To make her point, Bright references a recent New Yorker essay, "The Fall of Conservatism" by George Packer, in which Pat Buchanan paraphrased social theorist Eric Hoffer: "Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket." Comments Bright: "'Sex and the City' is the racket part of what once was recognizable as the sexual self-emancipation of the feminist movement." For her, the commodification of the 21st century female sexual revolution hits too close to home. "I can't watch these women, you know, make asses of themselves and be so petty and small-minded about sexual possibility. I take it too personally."

Go read the Salon article, and then reread my blog post, I Can't Stand "Sex And The City".
