To hear some on FR tell it, the show didn’t influence any behavior. Like all those single women ordering Cosmos.
Hollywood liberals claim that drug use and free sex in movies doesn’t influence behavior. But they do want all cigarette smoking removed because it makes it look glamorous.
Hollywood say their shows don’t influence behaviour, but they sure do try to use their shows to influence behaviour regarding gays, aids, etc., etc.
I know multiple relationships what were destroyed by that show. It greatly influenced behavior in some of the women who got addicted to it. I saw it first hand.
From the “cosmos” girls nights out where they started pushing the limits on what was considered “cheating” on their bf or husbands to leaving faithful good men because the felt they were entitled to the Carrie Bradshaw lifestyle to dumping a bunch of debt from their shopping sprees on their men right before leaving them.
The true joke of it all was that, in real life, the actress who played Carrie Bradshaw was married and having children.
While in the end, its just a tv show, and any sane person should be able to realize the difference between tv and the real world, that show really did influence womens behavior in very strong ways.
