The sad thing is I know one too many vapid bitches who love this show. Even sadder is that I know one too many vapid bitches who actually believe Sex & The City is pro-feminism. |
Re: Ebert gives Sex and the City 2 a verbal ass whoopin'
I know a vapid bitch who says that the Sex and the City TV show was pro-feminism whereas the movies are dumbed down and not pro-feminism. I considered pointing out that the main character's shoe obsession isn't exactly an empowering statement for women, but I was busy arguing with a covert white supremacist (no joke) and decided against it.
I'm glad Roger Ebert doesn't need a jawbone to lay the smack down. |
Re: Ebert gives Sex and the City 2 a verbal ass whoopin'
I heard the pro-feminist arguments as well, but considering the main character was a shallow tart who just so happened to fall in love with the incredibly rich womanizer who treated her like crap most of he time, I have my doubts.
I find the female deluded vision of that show to be further proof that women have no clue about what they really want in this world. Thanks Gloria Steinem. Instead of empowering women, you taught them that feminism wasn't about having the right to pursue freedom as a woman, but instead meant wanting what men had. I don't call that feminism. I call that female masculinity. And now we have a generation of women who are completely confused, and therefore, a generation of equally confused men. |

But who cares. The moral of the story is that Ebert is el primo when it comes to kicking ass and reviewing movies! |

The 5-star Amazon reviews for the movie are fucking hilarious too. And even though I have just completed my Minor in Gender and Women's Studies, I'm still a crass son of a bitch so enjoy: http://sarahjessicaparkerlookslikeahorse.com/ |

About feminism: since when was being confused necessarily a bad thing? Better to be confused and seeking a good balance than to be certain with inequality.

Let me give you an example: My wife has always been a working woman. Now we're in the 8th month of pregnancy and she wants to be a stay at home mom (shocks the shit out of me). The problem is she feels very guilty over these feelings and has felt pressure from other women to keep working. The underlying message is that you're not a real woman if you are a stay at home mom; somehow this makes you "less-than". |
Re: Ebert gives Sex and the City 2 a verbal ass whoopin'
You keep talking about Gloria Steinem as if she has any relevance to the world today. She doesn't. Most feminists today respect her accomplishments but think that it's time to move on from her (and we should hope so since her most active period was the 70s). There's a very sizable contingent of female intellectuals, some self-identified as feminists and some not, who are perfectly comfortable with the idea that a woman can be a stay at home mom with her feminist credentials intact. I would go so far as to say these are the vast majority of feminist writers (or gender theorists or whatever else you want to call them) today.

Hmmm, while I know Ebert is a well respected critic and this movie is probably god awful, I felt his review of Kick-Ass to have missed the point entirely.
So maybe hes wrong again, and this movie is solid gold? |

As for her relevance, her impact s definitely still felt today, and you can know this just by playing word association with the term "feminism". There is still a lot of pressure put on women to this day to pursue traditionally male roles regardless of what these women actually want from life. That is not feminism, that is female masculinity, and that is rooted in Steinem philosophy. This is all I've ever stated in this thread, and I never made any global statements about feminism as a whole. |
