<p>« Inside With: Halle Kiefer | Main| REVIEW: MacGruber » Tuesday May 25 2010  A Feminist Responds to The Sex and the City 2 Backlash</p>
<p>Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at 5:26PM  By: Meghan O'Keefe</p>
<p>It seems you can't go anywhere these days without seeing Sex and the City backlash. Two hackneyed films shouldn't erase the memory of a landmark television series. Here's a list of seven reasons why Sex and the City was important:</p>
<p>1) It realistically depicted the primary concern plaguing the lives of successful women: finding a man.</p>
<p>2) Besides their careers, the ladies had other hobbies. Like, once they did yoga. And another time there was a fashion show. And there was an episode where Carrie did trapeze. And the rest of the time they were pursuing men.</p>
<p>3) The scripts included female conversations that weren't polite or focused on domesticity. Instead, the women were constantly talking about their relationships with men.</p>
<p>4) In a culture that glorifies youth, the main characters age and remain attractive to men.</p>
<p>5) The women live in one of the most culturally diverting cities in the world, and they still maintain their focus on going out solely to meet men.</p>
<p>6) Oh, and they wear lots of pretty clothes, too. Women on television and in movies never did that before Sex and the City.</p>
<p>7) Finally, the series had a satisfying conclusion in which all four main characters were paired off romantically with wonderful and successful men. So, next time you want to make a joke about Sarah Jessica Parker's horse face, please remember the impact that Sex and the City had on feminism. It completely changed the landscape of television forever. I mean, without it, we would never have had Lipstick Jungle.</p>
