carrie is kind of an asshole
jgh:
why are we supposed to idolize heryou don’t. you’re suppose to identify with her.
This could easily qualify as the most intelligent thing a guy has ever said. Thank you.
Wow, what a low opinion of men. The best we can do is guess the context of a TV show that men wrote and produced. Anyway, maybe “identify” is worse than “idolize”. I can see a case for the latter: dream job, good friends, hot romances, great fashion sense (actually that show is a fashion horror show, but I’ll put that aside). But to identify with Carrie is to be feckless, superficial, and snotty. These are not desirable qualities in people. To have this on repeat for 7-8 years is to show people who are not making an effort to act their best in the world but who give constant excuses for having attitudes and acting their worst.
It’s silly to get twisted about what is essentially a sitcom, but it boils down to one fact: Carrie Bradshaw is not a model for young women. She is a clown. Do any of you want to be clowns, too?
