i would say the "now ladies be warned" bit is coming from Bushnell herself if anyone. You didnt need me to read that into it.

You felt it was relevant enough to post it.

Oh, but you chose to underline it, while taking a shot at her writing at the same time. Given that it's a Daily Mail article, I can safely say I'd never have even come across it if you hadn't posted it.

And yes, your OP was mean. Mean, cold-hearted, a little cruel... whatever term pleases you best.

happily married about 3 years. not an incel mgtow, sorry to disappoint

Not disappointed, but I will concede I'm surprised. The way you never miss a chance to stick the boot into wimmen and their stupid "choices" left me with the wrong impression.

Yeah, SATC and Bridget Jones are pointless, but watching 20-something men chase a ball around a field - that's a meaningful hobby.

I think it's time you put the keyboard down!!!!

Venting my ire across a multitude of demographics? I can assure you I'm not.

I'm certainly not a saint, but you won't find me starting threads to make fun of older people who are lonely.

Now, I've got to walk my dog. Maybe you should spend some time with your wife?

There's an increasing amount of creepy threads on here taking sly digs at "career" women.
Some ideological seepage from Reddit maybe?

In fairness, you're the person who's using the thread to proselytize about women's life choices...

Yeah, he's against the wimmin and also male whiteknights, for example. There's no bias to see here.

Candace Bushnell, who made her millions from convincing women to choose career over motherhood in her vapid souless novels has buyers regret.

*Slow hand clap*

Ahh I think you’re interpreting that article all wrong SC. It’s just a fluff piece about her because she’s famous, but there are plenty of people who regret not having children when they were younger because now that they’re older, they’re lonely. The SATC franchise didn’t have a whole lot to do with her personal lifestyle choices. Her relationships didn’t work out for whatever reason and she never had children so she feels lonely, is all she’s saying in that article.

I think the OP is spot on.

women were sold a lie culturally that they could have it all. when in reality they can't - neither can men. You only have a limited time and it's up to you to choose how you spent it.

You can't do the family thing if you are working mad hours or every night is wine oclock..
same with men. You want that career then something is going to have to pay ...usually other aspects of your life.

the feminist media realise this all too late , hence the usual pieces in the rags about how work/society and all that are stacked against women...anything to cover the truth.

Recently there was a study that most women didn't want to go back to work while their kids were young...and the women's lobbies (women's council among one) tried to spin this that there were too many barriers when the reality is barriers or not most women prefer to stay at home if they can afford it....but that isn't good enough to those that sold their soul to this idea.

I know loads of late twenty/early thirty women who are single. It's sad. At least as a man you can always have children later or move to Asia.

Hee hee, I was wondering when the new accounts would appear.

Tell us more.

Women can have kids well into their 40s. There's this narrative that there's some massive drop in fertility or huge increase in birth defects after 35 (why that age, nobody seems to know) and it's all seriously overstated. The stats get misrepresented hugely. A great way to keep the ladies scared and compliant, I guess.

Any man I've known who had kids later in life has found the experience completely exhausting (and I just mean late 40's here), so I don't buy the idea they can wait around as long as they like.

Might as well have fun with it.

See that's exactly the scaremongering I'm talking about. A woman in her 50s has something like a less than 0.5% chance of having a Downs syndrome baby. But since its even rarer in younger women, you can instead flip the statistic around into something SCARY like "women have a 300% greater chance after 35". It sounds huge.

Jeeze if only there were a show on TV that took a look at these conflicts and tensions of modern female life to help women ask the big questions.

You should write it. You've got this insight nobody seems to have.

Bushnell glamorised a kind of vacuous materialistic hedonism which ultimately leaves people unfulfilled, herself being a case in point. The character of Carrie Bradshaw, being semi-autobiographical, well if we ever wondered what happened to Carrie, now we know.

i'm not opposed to "wimmins choices" :rolleys:

i am however of the opinion that in the totally necessary and righteous act of slaying the daemons of the past and winning freedoms and liberties and choices that a certain amount of value has been lost. the baby has been thrown out with the proverbial. maybe SATC was a symbol rather than a driver.
