[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This show is the worst.  [b]Glamorized sleeping around and spending 394873829293 dollars on shoes. [/b]  Everyone moved to NYC to live like that and then when they got there realized how inauthentic it was.  Now all those women are in their 40s and 50s childless and unhappy but boozing it up at brunch looking for their Mr big.  But will never find him bc he's marrying a 20 year old and having babies.  [/quote]

+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![/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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[/quote]
“Millions?” Seriously? I don’t know anyone like this.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

So you’re the person everyone calls Brunch Granny, right?[/quote]

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.[/quote]
