In your 30s, a Sex And The City rewatch hits different

These are universal questions that the series poses throughout the series, providing a myriad of answers through its four central characters. “They all show different examples of what a woman means,” says Emily. “And when they always understood with the late 1930s, it makes me feel less late and as I still have time, which is certainly a statement so sinister than the one I find really comforting.”

Perhaps the problems most specifically for the thirty years that the series addresses things around maternity. Like Miranda’s unplanned pregnancy. Carrie’s contemplation on the opportunity to continue a relationship with Aleksandr Petrosky, aged 38, knowing that he does not want to have children. The scene where Samantha is informed of her cancer diagnosis could be linked to her decision not to have children. And then there is Charlotte’s fertility course and his decision to continue IVF.

“When I watched the program for the first time in adolescence, these problems looked like something that only” real adults “had to take care,” said Sarah * 36, who is now married and plans a family. “I underwent two loss of pregnancy and the episode covering the miscarriage of Charlotte really helped me to treat them at the time, while Carrie wonders if it is necessary to have a baby at 38 years old.

There are also slightly softer-meters resonance moments. Like the episode where Carrie ends up celebrating her 35th birthday alone because her friends are separately late due to an inevitable adult stuff. Later, after women managed to meet in their favorite cafe, she admits that although she knows that she has her career and her friendships, it was “really sad” at that time to be single. “I feel like I have the same conversation these days,” explains Mia *, 33. “Like the shame of wanting something we don’t want to want. The struggle is real and lonely. “

And yet, as we get older, life is increasingly embarrassing them in a way that it never does for weddings or thumbs – a thought for the woman who heads for a game of Mr. and Mrs. “It made me a lot to stop a small wedding ceremony on the day of their other 40th anniversary. “She must have explained to him correctly that when you are single, you have no opportunity to be celebrated.”
