The sad shallowness of self-absorbed western women

When I was a young boy I remember being around women like my mother, grandmother, sister, aunts, cousins, friends. I remembered that women were kind and generous and caring.

As I got older (I am now 27) a peculiar shift in women occurred. For one I started to like them obviously but secondly I noticed that women started to become pompous arrogant divas. I was about 19 when I started to realize that the typical American woman is one of the most spoiled, arrogant, selfish people the world has ever really known. What was the reason for this I wondered.

As I went through college I paid attention to women's behavior whom I went on dates with, whom I dated for long periods, and whom I worked with and was friends with. I notice that most young women are very, very similar and they incorrectly think their "free spirits" when, in fact, their hearts and souls are owned by industry and shallow trinkets. Why? One reason: Movies and TV shows like Sex and the City, People magazine, America's Next Top Model, All things MTV, Celebrities, etc. Suburban white girls who suffer from PPS (Pampered Princess Syndrome) This movie possibly represents all that is wrong with the woman America is producing. It also reflects the pathetic depths to which once proud American men have sank to in order to appease Ms. Princess. This movie celebrates being a high priced whore, what a great message for young women. I thought we were supposed to encourage, "being yourself and having high self esteem" funny really, that women create images for themselves that are the opposite of what they preach.

Why was this movie made? The cast is awful, the plot is non-existent. The message is horrible and the reality is that shows and movies like SATC create a false sense of reality. Any men who are reading this must agree with me. In fact most men I know, that have not been conquered by SATC NYC princesses, decidedly are disappointed with the quality of American women. I must believe it is due to the filth which they idealize, such filth being espoused as the pinnacle of happiness for women in movies like SATC. Unbelievable. I despise this movie with intense passion.

DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN FIRST AND FOREMOST AS A FATHER TO DISSUADE YOUR WIFE AND/OR DAUGHTER FROM SEEING THIS.

How sad it is that American women inwardly wish they lived like the women in SATC. Pathetic.
