And just like that - females squeamish at male public masturbation

[quote DoucheCanoe]@NandorTheRelentless yes really.

If SATC was referenced in the title I wouldn't have opened the thread, the title and subject matter are part of a wider discussion that needs to be had.

Fair enough - point taken.

I watched it, and the scene was definitely a 'shock jock' type of show, not a 'main stream every one is doing it' kind of scene.
They were trying to be outrageous and 'out there'

The worst bit for me, was Miranda going from an amazing cut throat lawyer being unable to articulate why she thought the lecturer was a student because she had (beautiful) braids and not short hair like she did in the faculty photo

There seems to be a new thing coming out from the gender lot - that we're 'confused' by them - the podcast host brought it up - as if she was any more gender-non-conforming than the bloke she happily described as a 'cis male'..

IT was all bizarre. I'm not in the slightest bit confused by someone's hair cut and dress-sense (OK, that's not entirely true, I've seen some shockers! - but that's at their idea of what looks good, not at them-themselves.)

I actually agree OP, the many references to pushing Carrie's boundaries and taking her out of her comfort zone (with a sexual undertone) were at best uncomfortable. If the character had been male there would have been uproar but because it was a mexican/irish, non binary person (their label, one of many employed) it was all fine.

The 'wokeness' was embarrassing, the constant need to label everyone pissed me off and I hope it is building to some kind of message although what I dont know.

I liked the original series but it feels like they're flogging a dead horse now and it feels a bit pointless withut Samantha anyway. Kim Catrall was my favourite.

As for the masturbating in public, why would anyone admit to that? Grim

Agreed @334bu it's concerning that this kind of shit is being normalised now without people even realising it.

I had a grown man masturbate Infront of me twice (once when I was 7 and again as an adult) in public places. Its a power play to intimidate and stun women.

Masturbating in public is creepy af and should be reported to the police.

I think the point of the post is less to do with the quality of the newly rebooted Sex in the City and more to do with it being acceptable to express in a popular television show that public masturbation is totally normal and fine and that everybody does it.

No need nowadays to have a dirty old mac to open when you want to flash your dick in public.

I watched some of the original, enough to love Samantha a bit anyway.

I watched the original series, and it was witty and funny, and intelligent, and talked about important issues

The new series doesn't yet know where it is going and is trying way too hard. They should have sorted out the stuff with Samantha, as she was integral to the show - and would have been great to see her in the next decade of age still out there doing stuff. Also - the hair thing with Miranda, she looked amazing and Charlotte completely wrong.

They all looked so beige though

Never watched the first time around just not interested.

I've never seen SATC and this has made sure I won't be watching it now.

So sick of the small little messages appearing in everyday media to belittle anyone who isn't a self declared "ally" or "woke" enough to just go along without thought of what it means for society.

Ah so interesting. I bore with. The story line at present is that both Miranda and Carrie have come directly acropper with woke. Carrie has been spoken to about "upping her pussy" by the Sara Ramirez character. I also suspect that Charlotte will be confronting pre-teen issues. I will be very interested in how this develops. Not expecting it to be GC, but the first episode did not fully embrace wokeism either. Also worth watching for final scenes, which made me realise how old I'd got. If you haven't watched it and you were a fan of the old days, then do....... won't give spoilers.

I have a number of issues with SATC (but I love the clothes)

I switched off at the first seminar scene “Woah. A bit quick the pronouns there!”

I could see where we were heading. It sounds like I was right!

I suppose SATC always showcased the most privileged of women who can coast through life “being kind” and decimating the boundaries of other women by implying they’re “prudish”.

I'm not watching because Samantha, but my patience had worn thin long before the original had ended.
That sounds disgusting though, I've never wanked in any public place, who would? 🤢 And then they wonder why we don't want men in female spaces.
