I, too, loved the series and the movie. I don't think it's sexist simply because it focuses "only" on relationships. Why is that a bad thing, and since when is that new in any movie? I do still think the series could've used a bit more... umm... color, but it was too late to add it in the movie, and I didn't much like Jennifer Hudson's role. That's really my only problem with it. Aside from that, a huge "Rock On!" for SATC. This is an awesome post! I, too, loved the series and the movie. I don’t think it’s sexist simply because it focuses “only” on relationships.

I was thinking it was frivolous too but you do make an interesting point: "If a woman cares about it, clothes, shoes, love, whatever, it’s by definition less important than the things men care about. Like fantasy football and motorcycles and comic-book superheroes. Please. If men, en masse, started passionately caring about fashion you better believe that, all of a sudden, fashion would be afforded more gravitas." Hmm. My problem is that shoes bore the living daylights out of me (one winter, one summer, one dress) -- while comic book superheroes rock my world.

SATC goes out of its way to show the importance of friendship, sometimes above and beyond romantic love. It is the friendship between the four women that I envy. I've never had more than 2 girl-friends at a time. pido-and you know what? SATC goes out of its way to show the importance of friendship, sometimes above and beyond romantic love.
