"Who is this lady and what is she doing in my drawer?" <br /><br />Love those "which SATC lady are you?" quizzes...

Yep, once again, and I know it pretty much happens throughout the entire series, shows the double standards. <br /><br />And Lisa, I can TOTALLY relate to Samantha, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Every "which SATC girl are you?" quiz confirms it, lol, and my friends, and people I've been with would testify to that. I see nothing wrong with it, and yeah it is a shame that she seems like the outcast sometimes. <br /><br />and Holly, there is one episode that reveals that Miranda keeps sex toys, too, until her maid clears out her happy drawer the one day, and puts some kind of religious thing in there, remember that one?<br /><br />and I've been dating (or whatever you wanna call it) people in their twenties pretty much since I turned 30. Men don't seem to care about the age thing, why should we?<br /><br />and the whole "deviant" sexual behavior thing I find kind of funny especially since a lot of people tend to get that way when they are older after years of "vanilla sex", being bored with their sex lives/partner/s or go cheat on their wives with the hooker that will tie them up and spank them because their wives won't do it, and then all of a sudden it's okay, but they would never admit it.<br /><br />I have to admit though, I still refer (even if it's just in my head at the time) to women I go out with as the marrying kind, and...not. Although, in the past, I've also done that with men. So, I think I'm pretty equal opportunity in my biases.<br /><br />and eye masks, yeah those are pretty neat. I used to wear those to sleep. Maybe I'll get one again...BOOK_REVIEWER_EXTRAORDINAIREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903956428449091188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485204819445407656.post-86408755219676493242010-07-16T17:43:42.414-04:002010-07-16T17:43:42.414-04:00Exactly!

On the one hand, they show (especially as the series progresses) that she's this smart, compassionate, interesting person, argue that she shouldn't be defined purely in terms of her sexuality, and says that there's nothing wrong with her sexual modus operandi, in the first place. And on the other hand, there's always that note of judgment there, and even her friends make slightly derogatory comments about her "promiscuity." Hmmm. Tricky.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03963277385392946022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485204819445407656.post-236945786679384102010-07-12T13:01:39.090-04:002010-07-12T13:01:39.090-04:00I love your anal-ysis here (pun intended)!
I...I love your anal-ysis here (pun intended)! <br /><br />I've always felt that the 4 women in SATC are supposed to represent facets of Everywoman - although most tend to relate most to one, it's hard to completely pigeonhole oneself - you can't *always* be a Miranda, or a Charlotte, but maybe sometimes...<br /><br />However, hardly any woman I've ever talked to about the series has ever (or ever wanted to) relate to Samantha. Nobody wants to relate to the "slut." On one hand, kudos to the show for featuring a sexual woman who makes no apologies for wanting what she wants.......but then the show depicts her as, well, a slut! Totally not the norm for proper, normal heterosexual behavior, as you mentioned. Alas, the show comes 2 steps forward, then 2 steps back. Sure, you can be a Samantha....but you're still a whore.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12317112019095548924noreply@blogger.com
