SEX & CITY

Experience

Souri jan I did not know your were a quite a Jahan dideh. So you have tasted the Sard and The Garm ha? Well. If you have not tasted the latter, get ready, it is gonna be real hot in here!

Midwesty jan. What exactly is the Yenta culture?

Anahid : You just named one of my top two favorite shows. God i wish i could be like Charlie and a little less that his brother:) I also Love Desperate Housewives. Scrubbs... You know. All the shows not requiring much of thinking and getting my brain cells involved in them I preserve those cells for when i get on IC:)

maybe sex out of the city is preferable

I agree with Dr X

That movie is exactly like the other one (Desperate housewives) with the difference that those 4 women are not the housewives!

This is an American serial movie ! Something like Dallas and Dynasty and the other American products!

I don't see any notion of Feminism in that movie! Where did you get that idea?

Those are some New Yorkie women who live and love à la New Yorkie, exactly the way it is. I  lived in NYC and had the chance (LOL) to be in close contact with some NY women of that level, and can assure you that this movie is the exact cliché of the urban women of NY.....

Instead of "Sex & the city" I would call that movie "Desperate women in NYC"

LOL

Times have changed, get used to it

This show just reflects changing times. In some cases like fashion, it goes to extreme but the fact that focus is on women and their relationships just reflects changing times. I have to write that I watched the first movie and I have not seen too many episodes of the TV show. Maybe those who don't like it, can switch to another channel. Also, have a sense of humor.  Women don't analyze light TV shows such as Two and Half men.  We just enjoy the show.

How degerading...

If sex is the main theme of this movie, which I can claim it is, since the title has two words that the first one starts with SEX, then women from the same perspective are useless before the age of 9 and after 50, same as nomadic mentality.

Grown up men who talk about the sex constantly and view women as sex objects are on the other side of the same coin of this feminist view portrayed by this movie/series.

I see this movie not more than anything but to feed into the Yenta culture being spread by the media. They have even progressed and infected the news by the same means, rewriting facts, history and what it's left of our memories.

Thanks for your article!

sex and the city rocks...

دقیقا با حرفهای ونداد زمانی موافقم .. واسه اولین بار ... خیلی مسایل و موضوعات در مورد روابط زن و مرد .. از زبان و تجربه های زنان بازگو میشه .. یادتون نره که نویسنده کتابش هم یک زنه ... و خیلی از اتفاقات و تجربه های این فیلم و یا سریال های سکس و شهر از طریق و دید و تجربیات خود نویسنده یا دوستان زن نویسنده اتفاق و پیش اومده  .. و همین به زیبایی این موضوع کمک می کنه .. چون زنها می تونن بنوعی این رو به زندگی خودشان و تجربه های خودشان نزدیکتر ببینن و حس کنن ... صرف نظر از کمرشیال کردن این فیلم ... یا همون اصرار به خرید های زیاد و لباس و مصرف گراییش .. که خوب اگه یه زن بتونه از پس این مورد بر بیاد چرا که نه ... کلا سکس و شهر خیلی قشنگ به همه موضوعات رسیده و خیلی کمک کرده که زنها بتونن راحت تر راجع به مشکلاتشون و مسایل جنسی و در رابطه با مرد هایی که دارن ..دیگه مرتب خجالت نکشن و راحت  بتونن صحبت کنند و یاد بگیرن که چطور باید با هاش سرو کله بزنن ..

قسمتی از نوشته

قسمتی از نوشته خودتون  کپی میکنم:

" به دلائلی نامشخص همچنان از محبوبیت عمومی برخوردارند و دامنه‌ی حضورشان
به اروپا و جهان سوم هم رسیده است."

دوست عزیز به نظرم دلایل مشخص است ولی شما علاقه به دیدن انها ندارید.

این فیلم بسیار مشابه فیلم هاییست که سالهاست دارن ساخته میشن و هیچکس هم  اعتراضی نمیکنه. تفاوت این فیلم با سایر فیلم ها اینه که در این فیلم نقش زنها و مردها جابه جا شده.

این فیلم فیلمی کاملا ساختار شکنانه و ضدکلیشه ایست.

و شاید برای نخستین بار خصلت هایی رو که هر فردی داره چه زن و چه مرد مثلا تمایل به داشتن سکس خوب ، این بار از زبان یک زن بازگو میشه. در حالی که در فیلم های کلیشه ای مردها هستند که انتخاب میکنند... مردها هستند که غریزه جنسی دارند و حقشون هست که این غریزه رو ابراز کنند

مردها هستند که باید زندگی مجردی و ماجراجویی های اون ر داشته باشند

I saw most of them including movies

Dr.X Aziz

I always felt that there is more into their highly fashioned and saturated sexual quests and I could easily identify the latter part with manly drives and desires of plenty of men including myself ... and I watched penty of those almost repeaticious motifs in the show through those years...

I refer you to an article from the Prospect magazine that I besed my argument around it and Its there in the foot notes of my article:

"Big is a patriarchal husk with zero emotional depth, an empty symbol of everything that women are meant to find hateful and desirable about powerful men. Imagine introducing him to your friends. It’d be like having a girlfriend called Tits.

Then there’s Aidan. Boring, squidgy-eyed Aidan with his tight white T-shirts, who reappears in the latest film to tempt Carrie away from Big. He is framed as the polar opposite to Big—despite also being rich, white, male, handsome, American and seemingly unable to hold a conversation that isn’t about Carrie or money. All of the male romantic interests in the franchise have a hard, plasticised Ken-doll beauty that is almost offensively unreal, apart from the cheerily balding child-man who Charlotte eventually persuades to whisk her up the aisle. Who can remember his name? Probably not even Charlotte".

Thanks

I Don't think so.

It had the exact opposite message. Samantha would Become depressed and Enraged if she never got the sexual attention that she thought she  deserved. She was the Biggest of all the enticers. Her skills at seducing men was what her whole life was based upon.

Miranda. Would resist at first but she would crave in and break down and after a few attempts.

Kerrie. Was practically begging for attention and of the sexual Attention of any kind.

Charlott. Was even willing to adopt another faith for the one that she thought was the right one.

Taken together, Where do see even slightest indication or hint of "power" and strong shakhsyat in any of these women?

I bet you did not even watch any of the episodes.

زنان ناجوانمرد

این سریال می خواهد به مردها نشان دهد که چند شخصیت زن قوی و موفق و جذاب
می توانند عین بعضی از مردهایی که فکر و ذکرشان سکس است رفتار کنند و از
این طریق طعم بی حرمتی که به زنان می شود را در عمل به بعضی از مردان نشان
دهند
