Read our privacy policy Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell has criticised the popular series based on her book for its depiction of women. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Bushnell said fans of the show shouldn’t try and live like the characters played by Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon. Men can be very dangerous to women in a lot of different ways.” She then added: “We never talk about this, but that’s something that women need to think about: You can do a lot less when you have to rely on a man.” Bushnell went on to criticise the message of the hugely popular HBO show that spawned two movies: “The TV show and the message were not very feminist at the end. Maybe she doesn’t want to be that character anymore.” Despite not knowing anything about the upcoming series, Bushnell said she was planning on tuning in: “Of course I’m going to watch it … I hope it runs for six seasons.
