- Top 10 Feminist Moments on Sex and the City // Subscribe: th-cam.com/users/MsMojo?sub_c...
Sex and the City was ahead of it's time in these moments! For this list, we’re looking at some of the best girl power moments from the show, but we’re not looking at any from the movies. We’ve included moments like when Carrie marries herself, when Miranda and Samantha buy their own apartments, when Charlotte chooses her choice, when Charlotte takes control of her reproductive future, when Samantha fought workplace sexism and more!

I think one of most powerful moments is when Steve had some issues with Miranda having a better job and having more money than him, so on one of the girls' meeting she says she wants to enjoy her success, not to apologize for it. I kind of miss that moment here
I don't remember that. That sounds awesome!
@@olgaviktorivna4017 Nope. I watched the episode with my sister and it was between Miranda and Steve.
She said that at the spa while she and the girls were getting their toenails done.
@@olgaviktorivna4017 There was also a similar situation with Carrie and Berger. You are right. So, it happened with both couples.
Still have no idea why miranda choose steve over Robert.
One moment missing AS HELL! Carrie to Berger: I'm sorry but I'm not sorry I made the money. I worked hard for it!! LOVED that.
i agree
Maybe you should express your opinion more respectful
Ryan Oh stuff it, they can express themselves as passionately as they want.
Ryan woop woop, sound of da police!
Preach! 🙌🏻👍🏻👏🏻
I love that in hindsight on this series, Miranda is actually the coolest of the 4 girls...at the time she was considered the '4th one' because of her choices but now, 20 years since its 1st season (and let's wrap our head around that idea) she is the one whose personality and development has really stood the test of time from being progressive to admirable to accepted by society
cazia9 I have always felt like Miranda, though everything about the show is much more relevant now due to my age.
she is actually running for governor here in NY for real for real
should watch the Screen Prism Character Study "Why we are Team MIranda in 2018"
i always loved Miranda and hated Charlotte. Charlotte is so close minded and judgmental, her character did not age well.
@@lilbeezy241 I hate Carrie the most but Charlotte is also annoying af. Miranda and Samantha are badass bitches tho. Both characters aged well whereas Carrie and Charlotte make me cringe now.
I love the episode where Miranda buys her apartment. I remember when I watched it back then, I was so mad when people were giving her crap for doing it alone. I was so proud of her.
Stefanie Mago Up until the 70's or so in many places a woman couldn't get a mortgage, a lease on an apartment or a credit card by herself. She'd have to have a man (husband, father, etc) co-sign, even if she had sufficient assets on her own.
OKHomoRose Wow, that had to be frustrating for women. I'm happy that that has changed.
+OKHomoRose Women also couldn't get a checking account without a father /husband's signature .
You missed a really important one! When Charlotte stands up for herself and says she is worth more then offered in the prenup when she was engaged to Tray. That was a big and significant one
Interesting.. I always found that scene disturbing in that way that she just put a higher price on herself.. as if one million was an actual equivalent of what her self worth was. I understand what you're saying as in it was more (double I believe?) than originally offered, but for me this always had the vibe of Charlotte being just "more expensive" but not touching on the issue of actual self worth being directly linked to monetary worth.
@@juliewie2252 Interesting point! I always emapthised with her and understood her the least. Which is funny, because I am obessed with art, and she worked at art galleries. xD
I don't think it was about the literal numbers. She was feeling the whole time that she was being undervalued, and her standing up for herself and making it clear she's entitled to more was the big step.
She said shes worth a milion so she still put a price on herself. That wasnt feminist at all.
I didn’t find it empowering- I always thought it felt “money-baggish,” a quality I disrespect in any sex.
i always thought Charlotte was showing the other side of feminism that is often forgotten. Feminism is about having THE CHOICE to be independent not forcing women to be independent
Thank you for saying this..so many ppl forget that...being a single childfree career woman or Being a homemaker n stay at home mum are BOTH Feminist choices...Feminism does not mean just blindly hating on traditionally feminine roles n the women who adopt these roles...🙂 The world needs good Mothers n Homemakers, Emotional, Artistic n Creative, right- brained women just as it needs Glass-Ceiling shattering, Careerist, Driven, Intelligent, Accomplished n Ambitious left-brained women.
Thank you! Charlotte gets so much hate from fans of the show because she opts for a more traditional life. I don’t see her as any less feminist than the rest of the women in the show. I enjoy working and being independent but I don’t think women who want to be housewives and have children are making an inferior choice.
Actually, that's "choice feminism" which rightfully gets a lot of flack, just like "white feminism". Not everything a woman does is feminist just because she's a woman. Feminism is about EQUALITY, not "choice". If a woman makes a choice to be unequal, that's the opposite of feminist. She still has the right to make that choice of course, but don't pretend it's feminist or something to be admired.
@@karar7796 feminism is toxic and dangerous. almost as toxic as the carriers of that dangerous cult, you.
@@karar7796 ALL the flack feminism gets is rightful, your intersectional ideology is a cult and it deserves to be ripped out, root and stem.
I hate how Carrie practically cornered Charlotte to giving her the money
Honestly, I hate how Charlotte screamed bloody murder at Miranda for giving her a similar judgmental look over breakfast. Charlotte was clearly insecure about her choice at the time and took it out on Miranda while still expecting Miranda to help her choose her replacement. If Carrie did the same thing, everyone would call her out for being a narcissistic bitch. When Charlotte behaves the same way, she's excused because she's a traditional conservative woman. Not saying that Carrie's behavior is right, I'm saying that it's not fair that Charlotte is excused for the same kinds of behavior while Carrie is berated right and left. If you ask me, Samantha and Miranda were the two stable ones while Carrie and Charlotte were both narcissists.
Yes yes yesss!! And how she EXPECTED it and also demanded it!! Always dawned on me and thought it was very wrong of her. AND that she took it in the end!! Uhg.
She did not corner her. Besides, what kind of friend doesn't offer help when they know they can afford to?
@@blessingonyelobi3173 she guilted her into giving it to her by judging her for still wearing her engagement ring and not having to work. I agree with Charlotte, it's not her responsibility to fix her money mistakes. She can offer to be nice, but it's not an obligation.
It showed a different shade of feminism, it was modern but also relatable. Forever my favorite show and I'm so glad you did this video because everyone calls it sexist.
Νικόλας Μπραούλιας ok,they did have some feminists moments, but they are not feminists at all.
They are feminists in their own ways. There isn’t a perfect feminist out there.
why tf are greeks supporting feminism?
@@thoughtdistorted feminism isnt perfect itself. it's a dangerous and unnatural ideology
How about when they defended Miranda after a guy called her fat ass?? That moment was iconic.
I was crying a little. 20 years on and the show is still a testimony to enduring friendship. I would also like to say Miranda was always my favourite. Going into politics is a hugely Miranda thing for Cynthia Nixon to do
Roland Baldwin Miranda was the most realistic character. Most women are not as stupid with their bodies as Samantha, and most women have a shred of hope for love. Samantha can even imagine being loved or giving love in the beginning. Carrie had tremendous attachment disorder. Charlotte was a true heart
I cried too
Rio Brasil Samba Shows sambistabeauty What bothered me most about Carrie, is that she was written in a way that if any of the other girls would be talking about something, Carrie would always make it about herself. Or cut them off and go back to her own problems, even if they were less trivial than what any of the others were going through. The others were less self absorbed.
Everybody’s all about Miranda on here but I honestly feel that when it came to actually supporting the ladies & being about everyone as well as being about herself & being successful while showing she didn’t need a man, it was Samantha who was the true feminist pioneer of the show.
Until she got the Flu and was hysterically crying over not having a man to take care of her. Richard Wright also reduced her to wreck.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting a man in your life. Not one of those ladies were better than the other really. All were successes and failures all were selfish and selfless at times, loyal and disloyal, accepting and judgmental, and all were in the same boat in a sense despite their differences. They were human just like us, that’s what made the show great.
I love both Miranda's and Samantha's choices to buy their own apartments . It was empowering and inspiring.
Yeah it is
Aiden still didn’t trust Carrie and was using marriage as a way of letting other men know that she was off limits. Neither would have done it for the right reasons
Laura Fitzpatrick Didn't realize that until now thxs for pointing that out I needed to read this 💯
I really didn’t enjoy their relationship or Bigs for much of that matter. They were always better as friends. Too much alike in the wrong ways that wouldn’t work as a functional relationship.
I was really rooting for things to work out with Berger. Effing gender stereotypes!
with a face like that, you should be happy any man is willing to forgive flaws, lmao
@@dianeghazaryan4773 thanks. I’m sure you’re the epitome of beauty
@@dianeghazaryan4773 always the faceless profiles who comment this BS… Question, feel lonely much?
NOT ASHAMED I LOVE THIS SHOOOW
when going through a bad breakup it was a lifesaver -)
well, we are talking about a masterpiece.
Me too

What about the moment when Carrie walked with Miranda at her mother's funereal?? That was more of a friendship moment but still she broke the stereotype of having a man by your side
I love Carrie marrying herself and her friend's notes: "Congratulations to both of you." This also led to the trend of "single women engagement rings." I love the ending of the soulmate : "My three soulmates and the guys we hang out with once in awhile."
There is nothing feminist about Carrie breaking Aiden's heart...again. She still didn't admit to herself that she didn't actually love him.
She did love him but they wanted different things
roman4champ she may have loved him but certainly not as much as she loved mr. Big... she actually wanted to marry Mr. Big and she treated Aidan the exact way Big treated her. Such as saying things like “I need more time”. Carrie pressured Big from the beginning to tell her that she’s the one, etc.
@@crisvanfan She didn't love him. If Big had proposed to her, then she would be "ready to get married", unlike what she said to Aidan.
@@crisvanfan she didn't love him, she used him to clean mr big's mess
She refused to be pressured into marriage bc a man wanted it. They both clearly wanted different things and probably should have never gotten back together....both of them are guilty for staying in too long honestly. But that doesn't mean Carrie had to punish herself still by just agreeing to marry Aiden. She told him she didn't want to, he said ok we'll wait, then he's like nevermind that you feeling you just shared let's do it anyway! No, not cool....he can't bulldoze her into accepting a proposal. I am glad she refused.
When Miranda is looking for a wedding dress and they keep bringing white dresses to her and she says “nothing that says virgin. I have a baby, the jig is up” 😂
I also loved the scene where Steve's mother compliments her honesty in not wearing white.
I swear this soulmate scene has been in the same number one spot on multiple sex and the city lists and I love it every time!!!!
when you lose something at someones house, the host has a legal obligation to pay for it.
That woman at number 10 is the worst, whether Carrie's shoes cost $20 or £20,000, they get stolen in your house, it's your responsibility. And the way she said 'fund your extravagent lifestye' as if Carrie just asked for a loan so she could go on a caviar and champagne binge.
A women's right to shoes is my favourite part and I was wondering where the soul mate part has been placed and there is was rightly occupying the 1st place. Thank you Ms Mojo.
That was my other favorite moment on the show. I love that they chose eachother, and not men to be their soulmates.
Heather Wolf73 Yes it very special momemt. That's shows the power of unconditional friendship. We all need such friends don't we ?
For those who attack this show. This show debuted 1998 where women's right aren't as it is today, they disscussed taboo subject and also laid the foundation for a lot of woman led movies like Bridesmaids, Train Wreck and Girls Trip.
Before this show you only see men make funny sex jokes while women are goody two shoes.
Actually, now feminism is more vengeful and aggresive to every aspect of society where women doesnt have 100% control.
Still, this show didnt showed much feminism, and the few ones were just audience bait.
Love how the 2 movies you names are from Amy Schumer who is a cancer as a comedian
No Name ???????? I saw Joan Rivers and Whoopi Goldberg make sex jokes before this show aired.
Designing Women, Golden Girls?
What about Sam dealing with breast cancer and HIV scare? Women AND men still face these issues
Amanda Osorio not everyone is fucking randoms
Yeah but this isn't about men. Not everything is.
Her cancer bit is from the films. They didn't cover that. :)
@@riobrasilsambashowssambist1453 AIDs is not a joke. Evaluate how rude your comment was.
my comment had NOTHING to do with AIDS. Read it again. Not everyone has sex with random people. That comment has nothing to do with AIDS . Re-evaluate your desire to assume the evil in people
Miranda's proposal to Steve is iconic. Love every part of it 😍😍😍
her character is awesome.
Love Samantha's scene also~
We should all be Mirandas
And Samantha's ✨
@@camillakamille4315 And Charlottes
I'm already a Miranda.
@@pablodomenech1911 Not Charlottes. Never Charlottes or Carries. Always Samanthas and Mirandas.
@@SopranoRocker2010 100% agree
I could watch this show all day everyday
When samantha keep having casual sex no matter what sexist people on society think of her! That the onethat you forgot
Miranda was the BEST and Samantha was too. I love when Miranda asked Steve to marry her and how independent she always was and I love literally anything Samantha did 😂😂😂❤️
Carrie went to Big as friends to learn money tricks. As a friend, Big lovingly lent it to her. She instead bullied Charlotte into offering it, after Miranda and Samantha BOTH offered it to her.
Rewatching it now I realize that Samantha is my role model
When I was younger it used to be Carrie
One of my all time favorite shows and I still say an accurate picture of what it feels like negotiating the dating scene as you ease into your 30s.
How is it empowering that Carrie wouldn't take money from Big, but she'll take it from her friend?
Molasor Rosalom just a simple fact that at the end of the day women don’t always need to be saved by a man
Women aren't dependant on the guys. She borrowed (borrow-intention of returning it) the money from her friend instead of taking some free money from her ex. How is that not feminist?
N a man will always expect something in return if u take money from him..so if u want to preserve ur self respect in dealing with people never take a freebie as there r no free lunches.
Personally, I have really learned and understood so much about what the TV series "Sex and the City" meant to me. In the final analysis, I come to consider it a great and fantastic experience about what it means to be human in all aspects.
Robert Polanco LMFAO.
@c sh - What the hell does that suppose to mean? Really?
Robert Polanco don’t mind the hate that’s honestly amazing you got such a good message out of the show. I totally can relate too as well.
That is the quality content I subscribed for
While big parts of the show haven't aged well, "A Woman's Right to Shoes" is still my one of my all-time favorite TV episodes. It so perfectly encapsulated some of the bullshit responses I've gotten to my decision not to have children and to spend my pocket change on things people consider "frivolous."
#1 moment is amazing, especially coming from Charlotte who was always the hopeless romantic
Carrie should of just taken money from Big instead of bullying Charlotte into it.
EXACTLY!!
i wish i had an Aidan in my life :(
Wish I had real friends like these ladies
It's hard to pin down best feminist moments in this series but you nailed it.
Really love it when you talk over the lines in one of the best written shows of all time. Good job.
Wow, what a great video! Thanks Ms. Mojo! I love Sex and the City and this video definitely show’s the true feminist moments and little do people know back then that this show was ahead of it’s time. Amazing and funny and totally relate able. ❤️
I'm so glad you chose the friends as soulmates moment as number 1 - it's one of my favourites and such a great message.
Getting married to yourself is so empowering and it screams girl power and not needing a man or children to be happy. And I'm all for it. Something I'd totally do. That's why I like this show so much to this day. At the end of the day, no matter how much they enjoy having a man around, they have themselves and they have each other. It's beautiful.
When I was 13 and heard nothing about feminism (I live in Ukraine, very sexist country), my grandma called a whore because I told her that marriage wasn't important for me as a career and I could just date men.
Oksana, you don't have to get married or have children, either. You do what makes you happy and don't worry about others think.
You go girl!!!
Olena K
I hope you carry through your attitude.
When your relatives and friends pressurise you (and they will) just remember that it is better to wait for a right man than destroy your life with a wrong one.
Вот уже не ожидала прочесть такой комент) Привет с Киева)
Made me tear up, good video
You guys did a separate video listing what made Carrie bad. Expecting Charlotte to bail her out of her financial problems was one of them. In this video, it's a feminist statement because she guilted her friend into loaning her money instead of taking it from a man that offered. You guys are usually great with your lists, but the S&TC ones aren't as strong.
Her ripping up the check from Big is considered feminist because Carrie didn't want to be beholden to a man when it came to money. Everything after that was Carrie being a shitty person though, which the other video detailed.
I never understood what was so bad about taking the money from Big with the intent of paying it back. He clearly had the money to spare and their relationship was screwed up to begin with, so why not?
The last one tugged at my heart strings ❤
Hey, Mojo, the first sentence of this vid caught my attention. Do a video of what hasn't aged well about Sex and the City. That would be way more interesting.
The politics episode and the one about bisexuality. Those have not aged well at all
The way gays are portrayed in the show didn't age well neither
I bet Carrie and the mom who ended up buying her those replacement shoes aren't friends anymore lol
Never write these comments, but it wasnt the fact that Samantha had slept with his arcitect that was the problem. It was because Richard thought that since she was a woman there would be a bunch of drama between her and the architect, because women cant remain professional while working with an ex... In other words.. sexism.
This is a great list I like it a lot
Thank you a lot for like my comment
I love Charlotte but she did give up her job for her husband. She wanted a similar job after her divorce but she couldn't and you could tell she regretted quitting her old one. I get that she decided to quit to focus on other things but would she have done that without her husband telling her? She then gets mad at Miranda when Miranda tells her if she's sure and ready for that. I just don't see how it is a feminist moment.
Roldan Diaz I agree. It's not feminist at all!
A woman has just as much a right to choose her work as she does to choose her husband. She made a choice and was ridiculed for it by others. But in the end it was her choice and that's what feminism is about. For a woman to have a voice and a right to control their own life, even if they choose something others do not agree with.
Fallon Carrington and you can be at home without it beeing sexist. Man can do that too. If you want an ist is ok with your partner you can do it.
Yes exactly
Chitra Adkar agree as well. What is when Miranda gets her own place and wants to focus on her job.not every ones dream is to get married and start a family.certainly isn't mine, I like to travel overseas every year☺
I booked my own apartment - alone... Thank You Miranda !! :)
I still watch the reruns played on E! Love the Paris episodes. When Miranda says to John...a.k.a. Mr. Big, Go get our girl. I got chills! I love that episode!
This was great, thank you.
I love this show! It really made me feel empowered to have and love my friends!
I love, love, love this video.
I miss this show so much yet I watch it everyday
I love Sex and the city. Most people would deem it as a superficial TV show about fashion and sex. But I swear to god, when I started the show at 17 yo (at the same time my mom and my bff), I never thought it was superficial or "to liberal". It was bc it portrayed an amazing message about friendship between women despite their personalities and choices. Now, at my 27 I come to realize in a better way about all this feminist moments. After watching this video, I'm going to download the serie. I need to see it again with a more mature perspective.
Carrie turned down Aidan for Big🙄
What a huge mistake😂
snuttanjonas89rocky but she didn’t turn down Aiden for Big. She turned down Aiden. But always chose Big. There’s a difference
I'm on Team Aidan but Aidan is just too good for Carrie. He's nice and laidback whereas Big is....well 😊
snuttanjonas89rocky omg yes! Aidan was an angel. Big treated Carrie like garbage when they were together. He was only cool to her when they were just friends and even then he was controlling and had to have her. It’s his stupid fault she cheated on Aidan. Ugh! I love Aidan. Big sucks!
As much as I loved Aidan, I think Aidan and Carrie wouldn't have made it in the long run.
Aidan is very organic, very homely, very much a family man but Carrie was, in her words, 'more Coco Chanel than coq au vin'. She was into parties and fashion and city life and Aidan was very simple and too good. (I respect both their personalities, however they might have been and respect their choice to live the way they did). Even if they did get married, I don't think the relationship would have lasted. So I think it was better they cut it off before getting into a legal arrangement.
Also, the reason Aidan wanted to marry her was because he wasn't sure if she would go out and cheat again and he wanted to 'seal the deal' and make her completely his. That's really not a good reason to get married. If she's not up for marriage, that should be it.
Aidan was boring and I always thought he was really annoying
That was a great video!
Number 10 will always be my favourite moment of the entire show.
Brilliant series
I love all of them! I had two beautiful phenomenal women who shaped me--my Grandma & my Mother. Nothing ever stopped them from doing what they wanted to and they instilled that same gusto in me. I've never been married or had children and they always made me feel great about myself!
I can't believe even in the 90's still won't allow women buy or have their own apartment without any financial support of a man!
Nathalie Claire I hope you really don't believe that.
christopher rembert The stigma is what I meant, the stigma of women can't do anything without a man. It really just irritates me when strong women are being underestimated regard of what they accomplished.
someones triggered...
Justice Cuevas you have no idea
you act like women don't have a right to buy a home,they do,and the part about women being looked down on for living alone,it goes the same way for men too,so clam down
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!
Charlotte quitting her job was not a feminist move and shouldn't be on this list. Yes, it was her choice to quit, but the reasons for her choice had nothing to do with feminism and everything to do with fitting into a mold of being a perfect wife. We see that she wasn't totally comfortable walking away from a job she loved and that quitting was just one step in the process of her slowly giving up her identity to please Trey. Miranda was right when she told her to get behind her own choice.
Wouldn't never have a friend like Carrie, too much money drama.better alone then to be w a guy that don't care for you.
I knew that would be #1
I LOVE the scene of "soulmates". "Men, Babies,Doesn't matter....we're soulmates." I love the girls' friendship so much!
I love that show!
I love the videos
Ms. Mojo has it both ways, Carrie is a sinner and a saint - you can't argue both (theoretically). But the feminist in me says you can do anything!!!
When they realize they are each other's soulmates!!!
Although, about Charlotte "choosing" her "choice", they are making a point with it in the end of that season (season 4) that after all, it wasn't her choice and quitting her job for a man only caused problems for her. Great clip anyway! :)
No.9 just proves how awesome I always knew Miranda and Samantha were.
One of the best series I have ever seen.🙂😃🥰 What life is about. 😏
Bravo
How is her friend not at all concerned that her carries shoes have most likely been stolen?
Number one.
This show ❤
Point no.10, Carrie didn’t have to register for her wedding gift, the woman owed her the total amount of her luxurious shoes. The woman didn’t have any problem with cigarettes being smoked inside the house, near the kids, but she had problem with people coming in her house with their shoes on!!! Wow!! But yeah it’s a great feminist moment to celebrate herself and being single not being married to a guy..
9. Was not "easily forgotten". When i married myself in 1998, (#10), i did so bc "Nope, just me." was exhausting. You gotta love you if you expect anyone else to. i married the next year, but STILL have to make plans at times with a "Just me" response & i ALWAYS think of this ep.
i love that Char "married Carrie.".
I really like this top, and for me Miranda was the one I can relate to.
Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha are the real feminists who are independent and strong. Carrie is just the irresponsible selfish one that depends on these 3 strong women.
My favourite line among the Sex and the City lines is “I love you Richard but I love me more.” by Samantha.
Okay but my dad loves this show🤣😟
Mine loved it to!! He didn’t even wanted to talk to when he was watching it!
Jane Bishop your dad has great taste
I love the phones
Coulda shoulda woulda is my favourite episode
This is so me ;')
I'm glad that Carrie got her shoes paid back.
Samantha and miranda should have ended up together... two powerful women
How can people not like Miranda?
Best show ever! #satc
The attitude to abortion here really annoys me. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely believe that women have the right to choose. But I also believe that truly independent, empowered women take responsibility and if they don't want children, manage contraception intelligently. Of course you can't control all circumstances, which is why women must have the right to choose, but that's a huge decisions to take. It seems to me the attitude here is that it's no big deal to use abortion as a type of contraceptive and that's just wrong.
How can i watch all seasons
Carrie can take the money from Charlotte but not from the man she's in love with? That makes zero sense
Charlotte and Samantha are my all time favorites!
I miss the show so much.....
