Sarah Jessica Parker Shuts Down 'Misogynist Chatter' About Aging Women
There is no doubt that “And Just Like That” is about older women, and Sarah Jessica Parker has no qualms about it. But sadly, some fans are having a hard time accepting the same, and Parker is so done with all the misogynist comments.
Parker spoke to Vogue in a new cover story where she opened up about the “misogynist chatter” surrounding her look and what fans can expect from the revival series.
"There's so much misogynist chatter in response to us that would never. Happen. About. A. Man," Parker told Vogue, in reference to the pictures that went viral of her having lunch with close friend Andy Cohen over the summer, and the media only obsessed over her grey hair and not his.
"Everyone has something to say. 'She has too many wrinkles, she doesn't have enough wrinkles.' It almost feels as if people don't want us to be perfectly okay with where we are as if they almost enjoy us being pained by who we are today, whether we choose to age naturally and not look perfect, or whether you do something if that makes you feel better."
"I know what I look like. I have no choice," Parker continued. "What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? Disappear?"
Well, this isn’t the first time the 56-year-old actress has expressed her displeasure over the constant criticism over aging. Back in 2019, she revealed why she had no interest in going under the knife to slow down her aging, during an interview in Elle Magazine.
“I don’t know what I can do about the aging. Yes, I am aging. Oh my God, I’m aging all the time,” she said at the time. “It’s like those flowers that wilt in front of you in time-lapse films. But what can I possibly do? Look like a lunatic?”
“And Just Like That” follows the life of Carrie Bradshaw, played by Parker, and her best friends Miranda, played by Cynthia Nixon, and Charlotte, played by Kristin Davis, as they navigate life, love, and sex, in their 50s. Kim Cattrall who played Samantha Jones in the series and the movies chose not to return for the revival.
