Samantha was going out with a very old, but very rich man. She was showered with expensive jewelry and loved the fact that he treated her like a queen. When it came to having sex, she was fine with the idea because she thought that every man would still be the same in the dark. Before they were going to have sex, he had to go to the restroom and she noticed that his butt was very ugly. She ran out of his house because she did not realize what she had gotten into. On the other hand, Carrie is in a relationship with a successful businessman named Big. He has total dominance over her and makes her feel bad about herself and some of the choices that she makes. She does not meet with Miranda because Big had made dinner for her and she did not want to disappoint him. Miranda ends up at the bar alone and talks to the bartender all night. They end up having sex in her apartment that night. In the morning, the bartender wants to get her phone number and call her for a real date, but she just thought of it as a one night stand. She did not want to be in a relationship with that bartender. At the end of the show, they end up being together because he is different from other men she has gone out with. Her lack of beliefs about men changed because of this bartender. .
This episode would not be approved by feminist. The episode promoted the male dominance in the world. Samantha only went out with that man because he was very wealthy and she wanted the gifts. She only wanted the money, gifts, and did not care if he was old or not. This shows that women are gold diggers and they do not care about the men unless they have money. Also, Carries" relationship with Big shows that men are dominant over women because she lets him take control over her. She does not speak up for herself when a situation occurs. Only sometimes she speaks up for herself, but in a way where it is not threatening.
