+1. Literal propaganda, down the rigged awards it won to give it more credibility. All a con on viewers who are still too simple to realize they were being brainwashed. Still worshiping a show that was programming them to abandon their families and become childfree worker-bee rootless cosmopolitans. Sleeping around, $3,000+ month rent, designer shoes, brunch, and an email job! And spending holidays with spinster friends because your family is 1,000 miles away and you have no husband and no children. What a life!

Why the vitriol?

Why do so many women who are married with kids express such vitriol and discriminate against women who are childless? It's like women with kids are bitter at all the drudgery that encompasses their lives raising kids and want to feel better by putting down, criticzing, and excluding childless women.

+1! Seriously-what's up with the vitriol? I'm married but don't have kids by choice and I don't understand why some married women with kids are so negative towards those without (particularly towards single women without kids). I can honestly say I feel zero judgement towards people with kids. We are all different and want different things. Not every woman wants to be married with children and that's okay. Also what's up with all of the PP's using the word "spinster?" Omg I thought as a society we were starting to move past this type of misogynistic crap.

To quote Nathan Lane in an episode of SATC, “ say it louder for the people in the back row!” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I lived/worked in MYC at the time and was about 4 years younger than Carrie. The first 2 seasons were the best. Light and funny. The 3rd season was after 9/11. The tone changed because the city and everyone in it changed. The city was the 5th character.

DP but I agree. Married mom with young kids and I LOVE satc. Though I will say that their lives more closely resembled my twenties than my thirties. Rewatching it for the zillionth time in my thirties, I find myself wondering what these women were doing the decade prior.

Satc as a show is not that different from any other show about a tight knit group of friends (like friends, how I met your mother, etc.) it is about a period in your life where your friends are your family.

Sorry but the show promotes an unrealistic and unhealthy lifestyle. And it suckered millions of women. Look how many moved to NYC bc of the show and who never met their Big and are miserable

“Millions?” Seriously? I don’t know anyone like this.

Tens of millions. Look up the birth rate for American women 30 to 60 years old. The show helped (not solely) birth tens of millions of Big City-seeking, hook-up culture, carefree careerist consumers. So sophisticated in their Big City apartment, with a Big City job, and Big City boyfriends. Staying near family and settling down with a boy from your hometown or college was for rubes! Then millions of them hit their late 30s still single, painfully lonely, and/or childless. Conned by propaganda.

So you’re the person everyone calls Brunch Granny, right?

I don't follow. But you're probably in denial or hiding your pain behind a patina of online snark. Many such cases with unmarried or childless millennials and generation Xers who struggle to admit media and pop culture duped them. And I really shouldn't even say childless, millions of those who were duped might have a child or two due to advances in IVF. Who among us didn't grow up dreaming of becoming the "old mum" after blowing $50,000 on IVF to make a baby in a lab.

But don't you see? You would have had 5 kids had it not been for SATC! You watched the show, got brainwashed, and you will wake up in 5 years absolutely devastated that it's too late to do what you were put on this earth to do - pump out babies. It's too late for you, but now thanks to the reboot millions more will be brainwashed!!!

(Also don't watch Hocus Pocus 2 cause Satan will come through your tv: https://www.instagram.com/p/CjVx53HOJVz/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D....you're welcome).

How many women wasted a decade trying to emulate the satc lifestyle and now are bitter old spinsters.

zero

Lol yup. Previous replies are like listening to someone’s elderly aunt drunkenly ranting at Thanksgiving.

Are you kidding? I can think of half a dozen female coworkers, plus my boss, who are exactly like this and my age (late thirties). No man, no kids, nice apartments, nice handbags, and they do Friendsgiving together. Photos of their food, booze, and manicures on Instagram.

I'm an attorney who married relatively late. Lot of BIGLAW woman friends. None of them fit what you're saying. None of my law school friends, either.

Even if a "half dozen" of your friends fit that mold, that's hardly some statistically significant sample. LOL.

My husband is an attorney and the firm’s roster is full of unmarried and/or childless late 30s and 40 something women. And the ones with children only have one because they started too late.

And you think the reason is because SATC told them to stay single - and not because it's effin hard as eff to balance a big job, and a real life, and plus add to that a whole generation of child-men who can't get over the p*rn they've been hooked on since they were babies. Certainly, it's all these women's fault for watching a 25 year old TV show - that, if these women are in their 30s, was on at the time they were going to elementary school.

Good reasoning there.

No. The show reflected a glammed up version of how people were actually living, it didn't create reality.

Anyway, if you think the media is so powerful it can convince women to have or not have children based on a half hour HBO show, why don't you create some compelling content about stay at home moms who never left home and had four kids by 25.
