sex and whose city?

girls love "sex(y) and the city." i think because they like long drawn-out tales. but (some) don't realize that it's...they're archetypes. the women in it. greek story archetypes.

1. samantha = vociferous nymphomaniac. slightly '80s. very empowered. very rich. but she pays for being empowered. she has to take the AIDS test and she freaks out. she fetishizes male genitalia aloud. you're not allowed to do that, as Woman. she's too manly. too many men! too much of everything. put some more clothes on, samantha.
2. charlotte = she started out with an art gallery, but that faded away. all of these women's wealth is assumed. hypothesized. she's very prim. you can tell by her collars and her ponytails and the fact that her hair naturally brown. conservative (despite the art gallery). she's looking for True Love, and, being the prettiest one, she'll sure as fuck get it. she just has to cry a lot and marry into a lot of money to get there.
3. miranda = law school. harvard mug. baby of a cat. then a real baby with someone who's...weaker than her? steve was feminized pretty badly in the show. had a drunk for a mother. miranda's mother died. she had to work for this. all on her own. and come, ginger and short hair? but then she got fat oh no. too much estrogen. get the woman a gym membership!
4. carrie = everyone wants to be carrie. think about her name! carrie. CARRY. and everyone loves her! she's not beautiful, but she has (some) luck with men. the series ends with her swooning over russian royalty! but...did she want to end up with royalty? what did she want? carrie is an enigma. everyone wants to be an enigma. except when the fashion signifies schizophrenia. which sometimes it does, but that just means she's more advanced than you, right?
