The Fashion Time’s Mister Ghost just doesn’t understand the SATC phenomenon among women (or does he) and tells you why…

Just call me an agnostic when it comes to the fever and the fervor SATC inspires among many women around the world. I simply don’t understand it, don’t get it, and wouldn’t want to have sex in any city with any of those four women.

SJP doesn’t really look like a horse, LOL, but her alter ego Carrie Bradshaw and the other three ingenues of SATC didn’t exactly inspire a bodice-tearing passion in Mister Ghost - Image courtesy of SJP Looks Like A Horse.

Ahhhh, but what do we straight men really know? We live by our double standards of wanting pretty women in the boudoir who can function as hyper-orgasmic frauleins and bump booty with the best of them, while on the outside, we like our women to be perky mom types, wholesome and sociable.

And these aged SATC vixens with the public viewing of their super-charged libidos and Hello Kitty vibrators are anything but chaste madonna types. Good girls do it, but they don’t boast of their conquests in such an outspoken fashion past their college years, and certainly not in their forties and fifties. Mademoiselles Bradshaw, Jones, York, and Hobbes therefor, stick out like a sore thumb, after being hit repeatedly by a hammer.

The major problem with SATC, from a manly perspective, is it fails the five most important Do’s for attracting a heterosexual male to a chick flick:

5 Do’s For Attracting Straight Guys To A Chick Flick

1. The movie should contain attractive actresses, preferably in a beach setting, where a goodly amount of flesh will be exposed.
2. You really impress your steady other by attending the flick with her and earn relationship bonus points.
3. You should not be the only male in the audience attending a film, so things don’t become all freaky-deaky , when the hundreds of women in attendance, discover that you are the lone male interloper at their giant hen party.
4. The film should have a Lesbian sub plot involving comely looking women engaging in an occasional lip lock.
5. You can watch it at home with your beloved, and secretly spend most of your time on the mobile phone with your best bud, while the movie is playing.

SATC fails in all aspects of the five most important Do’s, so badly in fact, that Conservative critic Debbie Schussel in her acerbic review of the film, basically said: Men, leave your testicles at the door, if you go to see this movie. “If you like it, and you’re a guy, you threw away your man card long ago. You’re not a failure. Just gay (like the people who created this show) . . . not to mention, completely bereft of testosterone”.

Ouch, well that is a little harsh of Debbie (she’s a tough Seniorita that Debbie), and fashionistas will likely start weeping and gnashing their teeth over her proclamations, which they’ll single out as misogynist and hateful.

And misogynist, we are not trying to be. If there’s one thing we appreciate about Sex And The City, and which most critics of the movie and the program missed out on, is the sexual empowerment women around the world feel from identifying with the characters on the show, especially Carrie Bradshaw.

It’s a rough world out there for women, and being able to have control over a major aspect of their femininity and sexuality, led to an uplifting experience for millions of females. You can’t argue with those results.
