You can’t swing a dead cat these days without hitting some guy who is bitching about how he doesn’t want to go see the new Sex and the City Movie. It’s becoming this huge effing backlash that is spreading like so much HPV and frankly, it’s getting annoying. And totally overdone. Saying that you hate Sex and the City is like making an “I Drink Your Milkshake” joke or calling someone the weakest link.

Even the Chicago Tribune has a story called “Because no man should feel the agony of this film”. The author, John Klas, mentions that women “Just Don’t Get It” and thinks that by liking an Affair to Remember, he is somehow absolved from implying that all women are weepy, oversexed and overshopped and all would force their significant other to see a movie that he so clearly and vehemently does not want to see.

As Klas says, “Millions of men are sick about this movie based on a TV show about four terrifying, rich, aging, elitist women who whine about sex and men and purchase $700 pairs of shoes to feel better about themselves.”

Where is all of this anger coming from, all this righteous indignation? If you don’t want to see the movie, then don’t go see the g*ddamn movie.
