John Kass’s free “Get out of SATC card” for men <\/a>in the Chicago Tribune <\/em>reminded me of my many, many, many rants on this show. (And yes, John, I’m a young(ish) female reader.)<\/p>\n

As a woman, and a woman who sure watched some of the episodes, had a chuckle or two, I too can see the insipidness of this show. Another thing, it’s about the LEAST feminist female-empowering thing on the planet.
\nI could write a book (some have I’m sure) but among my SATC gripes… the last episode! Seriously! are you bonkers? here’s what it told me and other young women…<\/p>\n

Carrie:<\/strong> I love love love the city, the city will be my man! Writing will be my love!<\/p>\n

Carrie (five minutes later)<\/strong>: Eh, screw my writing career, I’m moving to Paris to be a ballet dancer’s wife.<\/p>\n

Carrie (another five minutes later):<\/strong> What?? Leave my life? no way. Grrrrl power. I’m going back to nyc where I belong! The city is my love<\/p>\n

Carrie (yet ANOTHER five minutes later):<\/strong> What? Big getting out of a limo. Carry me away Prince Charming! Yayayaya. I don’t have to be a writer or pretend the city is my love anymore. I’ve gotta man. see ya bee-atches!<\/p>\n

Hmmph. To me, this is a little like the feeling I had when showing up on “35 and single by choice” (or something like that’s) website to be greeted with “Surprise! This web site has taken a turn! I’m pregnant with twins, married, and quit my job! Yay!”<\/p>\n

Stay tuned. Next week (just to drive up traffic) I plan to riff on the five million (or so) kids’ books that are better than Harry Potter. Yep, prepare your angry lashbacks now!<\/p>\n
