I never watched it, I dont glorify any TV program and do not base my lifestyle on fictional characters, therefore it has had no impact on me as a person, specifically a woman. I havent noticed any impact on society. I read part of the article, I always thought the show was about sex, not shopping! Go figure.
I think the real legacy of that show is that it sent the message that it's OK for women to act like men. Men who sleep with lots of women are called studs while women who sleep with lots of men are called ****s. No question that that's a double standard. But by writing a show where the women basically sink to the level of men, that just seems like a big step backward. The show's defenders tried to dress it up as "female empowerment." That always made me laugh.
It's not a challenge for women to sleep with a lot men. Only certain men have the game to be able to do that.

Reason: Inappropriate generalization of a gender
Television is entertainment and it is a way to escape from life. I always loved Friends, but that didn't mean I wanted to move to New York, live in an apartment with my friends, and all hang out together constantly. I just enjoyed it, because it made me laugh. If you are this uptight about everything, maybe you should join a fundamentalist Christian group.

There are lots of women that actively emulate the sex and the city lifestyle.
Sales of the shoes in the show went up drastically as a result of the show.
How many men or so influenced by a fictional TV show?
I am a 36-year-old, suburban-living, minivan-driving mother of three. I don't have cable and have never watched a single episode of that show, but even I know who Snooki and the Situation are.
And how do you know that Sex and the City wasn't emulating a lifestyle that already existed in the real world for a certain class of women? That is, art may have been imitating life.

The Situation is some movie about the Iraq war? I think I might have seen that, but it's on something like HBO.
