I think Carrie actually handled the Billy scenario perfectly, and that showed that sometimes when we care less, we can be more level headed and mature. Because Carrie's heart was never really in it with Billy, ironically she showed up as her best self. This layer is just another part of why I love SATC, it's quite true to life and the nuances and messiness of love.
@@hipnhappenin Yes, I have found in patriarchy, women get so used to not having the power, when they do it can feel like 'manipulation' and unethical. Women are trained to feel guilty for ever feeling in control. Do not! As long as you do not intend anything negative towards him and you are straightforward and honest, enjoy the power 🙂
I can't wait for you to discuss Steve and Miranda's relationship. Steve is so problematic from the beginning, but most of women doesn't see that. i would love to hear your thoughts.
I see it, me me me! 😂 it's like he wanted a traditional gender role family and could not cope with the idea that she earned more and wanted to buy him nice things. Whereas Smith had no issue with this and I think that's why his and Samantha s relationship worked (until she broke it off I mean). Steve felt so threatened and he felt more like a man-child than an actual partner. The way he proposed to just have a baby for the sake of it, wanted a dog and didn't take care of him, he was so immature and him and Miranda should have never ended up together.
Both what Big values about Natasha and what Carrie hates about her is that she is high class. Not money necessarily, though the so called "old money" comes with it, obviously. Carrie tends to reach for that livestyle with fashion, with men, with events, but always as a tourist. She's always a guest, never the host, always the odd one out. And high society is something you're born into, you can never charm your way onto the scene. Even if you marry into it, you're never *in*, something that Big later realises and the reason he goes back to Carrie and starts cheating on Natasha is that he sees that he married her for nothing, she will never be his ticket into high society because she holds the status in the relationship, not him. She has all the power and he resents her for that
Big doesn ´t value Natasha ´s „high class“, whatever that means. Natasha is young and naive and Big is bored of her. You can ´t buy love, as much „high class“ you are or wanna be.
@@KayTea4tea i get that, but i disagree. If the only thing he cared about Natasha was that she was young, he wouldn't have married her, and definitely not after only five months. He'd have just strung her along like he did Carrie. Big may be an asshole but he's not stupid. He knows divorce is expensive, he knows that treating a high society woman like Natasha the way he treated Carrie would never fly because people in those circles talk, gossip and they'd shut him out. Their marriage was transactional to him, he wanted a ticket into that exclusive club - he already has money, but his circle is more vulgar, new money, self made. He wants dynasty. When Natasha doesn't give him what he wants, he cheats, lies and turns into a worse version of who he was before
I can't figure out why so many people think Big wasn't old money too. His mother was so obviously old money (look at the episode where Carrie goes to Big's church). I think he married Natasha because she was the type of women he was expected to be with.
@@lorrilewis2178 i don't remember what episode, but at some point someone mentions Big is "self-made". Also his mom appears for 40 seconds while at church, a place people notoriously wear their best. Just because people have money for expensive clothes doesn't mean they are high society
@@KatBaumgarten There's a scene where Carrie mentions to Charlotte what church Big goes to, and Charlotte's reaction implies that church is where people of status go. As for Big's mother, it wasn't just how she was dressed. Her whole manner reeked of old money. Watch the episode if you can find it.
5:00 I'm glad you brought this up. I had severe anxiety with a guy I was dating (still trying to understand why that was) and I'm a pretty eccentric dresser and he was pretty straight laced. I found myself packing bags of clothes I deemed "unworthy" to HIM. Thank goodness the relationship ended before I gave away the clothes. I actually ended up keeping a bunch of articles from the bags
Based on various documentaries and interviews, we know that SJP was very influential in how Carrie was portrayed, from her fashion looks to how s3x scenes were shot. it’s rather absurd that, despite being a s3x columnist, Carrie presents as REALLY prude and boring when it comes to that subject. Heck, even Charlotte talks about booty play during her marriage with Trey! All three actors aside from SJP do topless nude scenes. So it starts to feel a bit silly, if you think about it. And it would explain why Bill thought she would be more open to kink, or at least more s3xuslly open-minded. I still think it’s good that she set boundaries, but I get the sense that Candace Bushnell didn’t intend herself to be portrayed this way. But SJP had the star power at the time, so she got a lot more control. Allegedly she took a lot of the designer pieces honestly with her, despite the costume team expressing this was not okay. I dunno. But “I couldn’t help but wonder”…how another more free-spirited actor would have portrayed this character.
I think the grammar thing is making Carrie happy because it reminds her that she is a writer. It may have validated that she is better than Natasha in that area.
Side note, but the actress who played Natasha - I felt bad for in real life. Tom Brady tossed her aside and quickly got with Giselle Bundtcake. I know it wasn’t me but I never got over it as if I was the one betrayed😂.
@juliehernandez80 Indeed. You reap what you sow, and now look at them. They're divorced, meanwhile Bridget Moynahan is living her best life. Like Natasha, the brunette is so much classier and mature than the blonde (Carrie)
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who hates Tom Brady because of this! He's just as trashy as a talk show guest but it gets dismissed because he has money
I agree that it's a pointless and outdated behaviour, bisssing about the other woman, and that men don't do this to other men... I do see that when a man "loses" his woman to another man, he will biss about the woman instead of the man. Which, in a roundabout way, falls in line with patriarchal ideals. The woman is the one who takes the blame regardless of who is doing the bisssing.
Your perspective and analysis is so interesting…. I never noticed some of these things. I think he feels embarrassed when she says no and that’s why he stings her about the column. I’m glad she did use her leverage with the column to call him out.
28:21 If Carrie was born rich and had great connections, Big would've been chasing her. But Carrie, being Carrie, she would chase someone of even higher status ( given that she retains the personality) ; She would've become Ms Big . But , things would've played out the same. She wouldn't be happy and might still end up cheating on her husband if he was someone on her level... Or if she married Big as an old money woman, Big would've STILL cheated on her ( he is a serial cheater after all ). The only way Carrie would've been happy wasn't by acquiring money , fame or a man ; but by working on herself, letting go of her insecurities and believing that she is enough.
I am totally hooked on your videos! This Carrie-Big situation actually reminds me of the movie 500 Days Of Summer. I think the movie is pretty good and it perfectly shows the same situation in a relationship: one of them is convinced that they are perfect for each other, bla bla bla... But you can see that the other one just doesn't feel the same way, they are having a good time together, but that's it. Its amazing how we lie to ourselves sometimes and this movie is the perfect representation of that. Totally recommended! Greetings from Spain 😉
Billy shouldn't have dated Carrie once he found out what she did for a living if he really cared about his political career. Natasha was the good wife who didn't need to deal with anyone's bs.
Spoilers for 1st movie. This is not me insulting Carrie here. I loved her in season 6 and the movie. This is me noticing a parallel. When the wedding was off, she spoke to Charlotte similar to her conversation with charlotte about his wedding with Natasha. Carrie said about her magazine article, Carrie said, “the article was I want and I did this.” For charlotte to respond, “it was from your point of view”. Carrie: “i let the wedding get bigger than big”. Charlotte has seen Carrie evolve and she was always a supportive friend, but it is interesting how she did the same thing she accused Natasha doing. Maybe Natasha got excited or felt the article was from her point of view too. And I am glad Carrie reached this conclusion and ruminated over this thought. I thought she handled it in a mature way which shows her growth in the movie compared to where she started at the beginning of the show.
Love these uploads and have watched this several times. So much good stuff packed in that worth thinking more about. It is always painful to meet your ‘replacement’ but the perspective of understanding that you and the significant ex had alternate values as opposed to ‘not being good enough’ was a revelation I needed to hear. More please! x
You’re my new favorite channel, i love the balance between light (joking about a tv show) and substantial (analyzing nuances in relationship dynamics). And your sense of humor is perfect 😂🙌
Thank you for another video of SATC 😍 I was excited for it 🎉 Just discovered your channel this week and with every video it feels like I’m talking passionately with my best friend 😂 in love with your content ❤
This is probably either the fourth or fifth video I've seen of yours on the S&TC saga... A lot of what you mentioned makes total sense. I don't really have much to add to your commentary, because you covered it rather well. I'm in my 40s now & I seen this series since the beginning. I just wish I had this perspective way back when. Now that I've done quite a bit of internal work om myself, I tend to look at things from all angles. I'm curious. Will you be breaking down any of the other seasons? ❤
Natasha told Carrie she heard a lot about her. Carrie could have jokingly said, "Oh no, now you know I'm a kooky cat lady!" Ha ha. Then she could have said, " So Natasha, tell me a little about you. You look great, by the way."
You’re very spot on! Big is a traditionalist and comes from old money, those are his core values. Carrie resents that because she’s quite literally the opposite.
There’s no evidence he comes from old money. I think his family would have enough to afford a good university but not necessarily super rich. Attending a church for a number of years doesn’t mean every person who goes to that church is wealthy.
@@Jenny-ls7hfbased off the plot of the show/movies it’s safe to assume that he comes from money based off of his mannerisms and his perceptions of what he thinks a woman should be.
@@shaylastokes3670 nope, he was saying his parents werent rich. If he would be old money guy he would never be involdved with Carrey. Big wants to be with Carrey as his true sense. But he chooses the opossing rich ladies as his wifes because he wants to look like old money
I think he's new money. Church is open to anyone. Maybe it was his idea to take his mother to Park Avenue Presbyterian church. Like, "Hey Mom, I made it! I'll take you to church on Park Avenue!"
Watching your analysis got me thinking, how Carrie always felt inadequate and not good enough for the old money guy and all, pretending to be someone else all the time, rejecting herself. And in the end she marries him and gets to live this life of luxury, and it’s as if this was the endgame all along, The happy end. But at the same time, the movies and ajlt show present us a shallow boring dumbed down version of Carries life being all about money and things now, no heart left. And so this is the real lesson, it’s a tragedy of losing oneself completely, how one should be careful what she wishes for and not to betray herself
Carrie is dumb. She shouldn't have wasted her time with big anymore. Instead of hating on Natasha and trying to figure out what's so great about her in sneaky ways, she should have befriended her so that she could have found it out. It seemed like Natasha was open to that. Not only that, she could have had a good ally. Honestly, she would have had a better time getting into that social circle. Probably not just one, but having two high class friends and high society could have helped polish Carrie up. This could have elevated her, not just her fashion, not just economically, but mentally. Her column could have been less trash, and more wit and sophistication. Instead of one night stands, naked sex, and cheating affairs, it would have been sultry, sensual, and actually be a guide for navigating and bettering relationships. Not just "Oops this is what I/my friends did last weekend. Can't wait to tell you about it!" 😉 She could have eventually set Carrie up with someone else that was high status that actually thought she was worth while. Big would have cheated on Natasha with someone else. Let's face it, if it wasn't going to be Carrie, he was going to find somebody because he was feeling bored and insecure that she had the status power in the relationship. Instead of being the woman who was trying to run from Natasha, she could have been the woman running to Natasha to be aiding her after the no commitment guy who married her ended up cheating on her. She could have learned a thing or two from Natasha and the way she handled it. She probably would have taught Natasha somethings, like being more selfish and putting herself first. Though he probably would have thought that Carrie was just hanging around Natasha cuz she was trying to get close to him and not actually be friends with her. If Carrie was more strong-willed and not ruled by her emotions, she would have survived it. But knowing Carrie at this time, even if she did try, she probably would have faltered. If this was me in the scenario, he'd be dead wrong. I'm not here to steal you, I'm here to steal Natasha.
It would be interesting, then again I don't think Big was the character to ask that... he needs to be the "perfect Big for Carrie", including how his behavior aligns with what is more "acceptable". Born in Slovenia 😊 You? Thank you🤗
@@insightsbyv They never focused on that, I think she said in one of the movie that when Big colours we doesn't stay inside the lines or something like that😅Born in Romania😁I am from Romania, we are almost neighbors😁
Imagine being so pathetic that you overvalue a grammatical error in a quick note a woman “better than you” wrote in a rushed state because she didn’t care that much because she was getting over being majorly sick Damn it’s impossible to root for Carrie
Anyone else thinks Carrie was out of line for exposing the politician in her column? The show portrays it as a funny moment but it was really messed up
I totally agree. Getting "revenge" is such a mark of weak character, but moreover, even though he chose a bad moment to tell her that (maybe it was bad writing), but it is not uncommon for someone in a public position to be discreet about their personal life. So Carrie's gesture was just so low... like girl, be an adult for once and look at the bigger picture. Not everything is about you smh
@@veronikapop8161 Exactly, people that say "he just chose a bad moment to tell her" as if he wasn't being petty over not getting what he wants that one time are delusional. Let's say that he was intending to break up with her all-along, then that would be even worse. He was just using her to get what he wants with no regards for her feelings, having sex with someone you intend to break up with that doesn't know about it is scumbag behavior. Expose away girl.
The show runner-post hockey, of course-tried to message the character Carrie as TV’s first antiheroine. But it didn’t work, because the character was written as a poseur. The character wanted to be Manhattan royalty, but knew, at least on some level, that she didn’t have the right pedigree to break into that circle. So she tried to stake her Manhattan claim as an edgy Manhattan sex columnist and use that as a lever to pry her way into the upper echelons. But that edgy sex writer wasn’t who the character was either. She was shocked by mild kinks and preferences. Worst of all, she was petty, judgmental, and a wholly unreliable friend. From the jump, she was solidly delulu, wildly insecure, and completely self absorbed. She couldn’t be anti heroine, because she was thoroughly unlikeable and unrelatable.
She wants to impress Natasha and be on the same level and even height because being as good as her makes her just as good as the woman she was left for. And just as worthy and wife material. It's not a girl vs girl thing. It's an "I'm like her or better" because she took my man and that makes me feel unworthy of being wife material. If I best her at least one way, I won't be the loser by a far. It makes the loss close.
I had a man, ultimately an abusive relationship, and he would shame me for dressing the way I wanted. He was too afraid of me drawing the eye other other men, because ultimately he was deeply afraid I would leave him or cheat on him. And he was so mean about it, made me cry multiple times. After I dumped him, I realized what he'd done to me and I said to myself, NEVER AGAIN. I will always dress how I please. If the situation calls for it, sure I will dress in an appropriate way, I have tact. If I go to a "black tie" event, I understand I shouldn't wear a tank top and frayed jeans, that's no issue. But anything beyond that is my call, and no one has the right to tell me otherwise. It is not anyone's business how I dress, especially a man. That's just them trying to control me, control what I do. I will not tolerate that.
Ok teeny tiny note, but I can completely understand being terrified of being half dressed, unexpectedly, in front of my ex boyfriend’s new wife vs being nude in a spa with friends and random women.
Her avoiding drinking water is stupid, especially when she could go multiple times like most people do when they drink alcohol. Peeing on someone in the shower is a very low level thing and while anyone can refuse to do anything for any reason at any time, Carrie is a prude, which seems kind of ridiculous for a sexual anthropologist reporting on her friends and partners preferences. Her alternative was judgmental and it would have been more respectful to say it isn't for me or ask if he had any alternatives. Sure assert a boundary if it important, but don't be patronizing about what others want.
It’s fine to change fashion for the guy you’re with if self expression through fashion never was your thing and it doesn’t mean much to you. Not every woman cares that much about what she wears 🤷♀️ I could never fucking incorporate piss in my damn intimate life lmao
Have fun! 😁🤗❤

I can't wait for you to discuss Steve and Miranda's relationship. Steve is so problematic from the beginning, but most of women doesn't see that. i would love to hear your thoughts.

But at the same time, the movies and ajlt show present us a shallow boring dumbed down version of Carries life being all about money and things now, no heart left. And so this is the real lesson, it’s a tragedy of losing oneself completely, how one should be careful what she wishes for and not to betray herself
I'm bored at work and just finished your last video! You're a saviour!! 💜
uff I know what you mean.. I had my own saviors back in the day😁
Loved this video as always
It is hilarious because in the movie, Carrie does just wjat she is accuses Natasha of doing.
I love love love your SATC videos please never stop making them!💕💕 love from germany
Aii thank you!🤗
I LOVE these videos. Your hair is beautiful btw ❤
Please do more SATC videos! Love them
I binged watched your videos about SATC and I hope you will continue, it's amazing! Keep up the good work!
Carrie is dumb. She shouldn't have wasted her time with big anymore. Instead of hating on Natasha and trying to figure out what's so great about her in sneaky ways, she should have befriended her so that she could have found it out. It seemed like Natasha was open to that. Not only that, she could have had a good ally. Honestly, she would have had a better time getting into that social circle. Probably not just one, but having two high class friends and high society could have helped polish Carrie up. This could have elevated her, not just her fashion, not just economically, but mentally. Her column could have been less trash, and more wit and sophistication. Instead of one night stands, naked sex, and cheating affairs, it would have been sultry, sensual, and actually be a guide for navigating and bettering relationships. Not just "Oops this is what I/my friends did last weekend. Can't wait to tell you about it!" 😉 She could have eventually set Carrie up with someone else that was high status that actually thought she was worth while. Big would have cheated on Natasha with someone else. Let's face it, if it wasn't going to be Carrie, he was going to find somebody because he was feeling bored and insecure that she had the status power in the relationship. Instead of being the woman who was trying to run from Natasha, she could have been the woman running to Natasha to be aiding her after the no commitment guy who married her ended up cheating on her. She could have learned a thing or two from Natasha and the way she handled it. She probably would have taught Natasha somethings, like being more selfish and putting herself first. Though he probably would have thought that Carrie was just hanging around Natasha cuz she was trying to get close to him and not actually be friends with her. If Carrie was more strong-willed and not ruled by her emotions, she would have survived it. But knowing Carrie at this time, even if she did try, she probably would have faltered. If this was me in the scenario, he'd be dead wrong. I'm not here to steal you, I'm here to steal Natasha.
Yessss, she's back with more! 🎉
How does her image align with her values?
$400k on shoes and no place to live 🤷♀️
i was literally just thinking about your last video!!🤣 horrayyyy
Where were you 20 years ago lol
falling for it all myself 🤣
cant wait for the next part!!
I was thinking, what would Carrie do if the 'pee' request came from Big?🤔Btw, I love your videos. What part of the world are you from?
It would be interesting, then again I don't think Big was the character to ask that... he needs to be the "perfect Big for Carrie", including how his behavior aligns with what is more "acceptable".
Born in Slovenia 😊 You?
Thank you🤗
@@insightsbyv They never focused on that, I think she said in one of the movie that when Big colours we doesn't stay inside the lines or something like that😅Born in Romania😁I am from Romania, we are almost neighbors😁
@@insightsbyvgreat point
Yessss do more videos like these with sex and the city. U are so good at commentary on the subject. Cant wait for a new video.🎉
Imagine being so pathetic that you overvalue a grammatical error in a quick note a woman “better than you” wrote in a rushed state because she didn’t care that much because she was getting over being majorly sick
Damn it’s impossible to root for Carrie
I think Natasha backed outnand pretended to be sick once she heard Carrie will visit 'woman in art'
Anyone else thinks Carrie was out of line for exposing the politician in her column? The show portrays it as a funny moment but it was really messed up
I don’t know, he did toss her away when she refused to do it, so it feels actually spot on to be honest
I agree! I don’t even think what he did was so bad to warrant being exposed like that
I totally agree. Getting "revenge" is such a mark of weak character, but moreover, even though he chose a bad moment to tell her that (maybe it was bad writing), but it is not uncommon for someone in a public position to be discreet about their personal life. So Carrie's gesture was just so low... like girl, be an adult for once and look at the bigger picture. Not everything is about you smh
@@veronikapop8161 Exactly, people that say "he just chose a bad moment to tell her" as if he wasn't being petty over not getting what he wants that one time are delusional. Let's say that he was intending to break up with her all-along, then that would be even worse. He was just using her to get what he wants with no regards for her feelings, having sex with someone you intend to break up with that doesn't know about it is scumbag behavior. Expose away girl.
@@clarissetorres7090and again Carrie was a side chick, cheap doll for playing, for another rich man and she never realised it
Someone said that your life starts when you don't care about being chosen, especially by men. you value your values, and you value, you!
Carrie really made herself look like trash with the way she treated Natasha.
I’m so excited to listen!!
The show runner-post hockey, of course-tried to message the character Carrie as TV’s first antiheroine. But it didn’t work, because the character was written as a poseur. The character wanted to be Manhattan royalty, but knew, at least on some level, that she didn’t have the right pedigree to break into that circle. So she tried to stake her Manhattan claim as an edgy Manhattan sex columnist and use that as a lever to pry her way into the upper echelons. But that edgy sex writer wasn’t who the character was either. She was shocked by mild kinks and preferences. Worst of all, she was petty, judgmental, and a wholly unreliable friend. From the jump, she was solidly delulu, wildly insecure, and completely self absorbed. She couldn’t be anti heroine, because she was thoroughly unlikeable and unrelatable.
6:20 😂😂 idk what that's supposed to mean either, but it made me LOL 😂
will you do the part when Big commes back?
I'm going through all the episodes😊
@@insightsbyv me encantan tus videos 😍
I am loving this deep dive into Sex and the City, When this series ends start with Grey's Anatomy I would like your view of the show.
Ohhh there is the whole mess there too!
She wants to impress Natasha and be on the same level and even height because being as good as her makes her just as good as the woman she was left for. And just as worthy and wife material. It's not a girl vs girl thing. It's an "I'm like her or better" because she took my man and that makes me feel unworthy of being wife material. If I best her at least one way, I won't be the loser by a far. It makes the loss close.
I had a man, ultimately an abusive relationship, and he would shame me for dressing the way I wanted. He was too afraid of me drawing the eye other other men, because ultimately he was deeply afraid I would leave him or cheat on him. And he was so mean about it, made me cry multiple times. After I dumped him, I realized what he'd done to me and I said to myself, NEVER AGAIN. I will always dress how I please. If the situation calls for it, sure I will dress in an appropriate way, I have tact. If I go to a "black tie" event, I understand I shouldn't wear a tank top and frayed jeans, that's no issue. But anything beyond that is my call, and no one has the right to tell me otherwise. It is not anyone's business how I dress, especially a man. That's just them trying to control me, control what I do. I will not tolerate that.
Yeah for being a schmex columnist, Carrie really has no clue about k!nk. Like... Girl you live where the good parties are. Get invited to a few.
Love these
Ok teeny tiny note, but I can completely understand being terrified of being half dressed, unexpectedly, in front of my ex boyfriend’s new wife vs being nude in a spa with friends and random women.
22:45 So painful. This would absolutely kill me. The writers are sadists
Her avoiding drinking water is stupid, especially when she could go multiple times like most people do when they drink alcohol. Peeing on someone in the shower is a very low level thing and while anyone can refuse to do anything for any reason at any time, Carrie is a prude, which seems kind of ridiculous for a sexual anthropologist reporting on her friends and partners preferences. Her alternative was judgmental and it would have been more respectful to say it isn't for me or ask if he had any alternatives. Sure assert a boundary if it important, but don't be patronizing about what others want.
I think, Сarrie covers not her body, but her underwear
It’s fine to change fashion for the guy you’re with if self expression through fashion never was your thing and it doesn’t mean much to you. Not every woman cares that much about what she wears 🤷♀️
I could never fucking incorporate piss in my damn intimate life lmao
I would argue that "sex" in the title was more normal for us in Europe/Balkans than in the U.S.A. 😉
Honey, it's not just a woman thing. Men totally do it.
I dont think carrie was hiding her body from natasha she was hiding her mismatched lingerie and gross underwear lol
