This woman wrote a nice blog defending “Sex and the City”, the popular HBO TV series that was turned into theatrical films.

I’m not afraid to say that I am a fan of the show. Was a fan of “Sex and the City” TV series when it was aired on HBO years back. Used to watch it all the time late nights. Watched every season, pretty obsessively, I believe. I never saw the first “Sex and the City” movie in theater, but actually watched it on HBO just a couple of weeks ago actually. I did like, the first “Sex and the City” movie. It was interesting.
A lot of men would trash the show, calling it a chick flick but is it really a “chick” flick? Please be honest now. I don’t see the series being a chick flick. It’s not even close. I think people are missing the point that the show was originally made for straight men and I’m about to explain why. The show’s main plot point is 4 women who do nothing but talk about men. Why? Because they want to make their romance and sex lives better. The 4 women like to make men look terrible by talking about men all the time. We all know that women’s favorite things to do is to talk about how horrible men are. I think the point of the series is that they want straight men to watch this, to give them a wake up call about what women really think of men.
And this is the reason, I’m a fan of the series. I like to learn women’s feelings on things and how they think. The writing is really good stuff, very insightful and intelligent. Men don’t want to admit they like the series ’cause they think it’s for women only, but some men end up becoming fans of the show as well. The series is not just 4 women trying to make their love lives better. It’s also more about serious things. The series tried to wake people up on sexually transmitted disease, safe sex, and promiscuity. So that’s another reason straight males should be watching the series, so they can get a wake up call, on safe sex.
I’ve seen the trailer for “Sex and the City 2” and will probably go and check the film out. Probably sometime next week. Yeah, I’m a fan of the series. Always had been. Remember, the show is not just about 4 women talking about men, the show’s goal is to help promote safe sex. End of story.
