Candace Bushnell: Sex and the City wasn't feminist

New York Post

The Sex and the City author, while discussing her new one-woman show Is There Still Sex in the City?, told the New York Post: “The reality is, finding a guy is maybe not your best economic choice in the long term. Men can be very dangerous to women in a lot of different ways. We never talk about this, but that’s something that women need to think about: You can do a lot less . . . when you have to rely on a man. The TV show and the message were not very feminist at the end. But that’s TV. That’s entertainment. That’s why people should not base their lives on a TV show.” Bushnell added that she wasn't surprised that Sex and the City is being rebooted, but she doesn't know anything about HBO Max's And Just Like That series. “HBO’s going to make money on it," she said. "They’re going to exploit it as much as they can. They rebooted Gossip Girl. If they didn’t reboot Sex in the City, it would be really strange.”
