Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At The Misogynistic Criticism About Her Looks On ‘And Just Like That’

When you think about it, the one natural process that affects actresses more than other people – including actors – is the process of ageing. I mean, ageing is one of the realities of life. But still, when we think about actresses’ ageing, we have so much negativity surrounding it. If an actress chooses to age naturally, then she is criticized for it and if she plans to undergo treatments to prolong her ageing, she still is criticized for it. Is there any winning with the audience? And more importantly, why is it that actors don’t face much criticism for their age? I mean, even they have the same signs of ageing – grey hair, wrinkles, etc. Yes, I’m upset about the misogynistic criticism that actresses have to go through – because it is so unfair! And I’m not the only one. Even actor Sarah Jessica Parker has spoken up about the misogynistic criticism she faced for her appearance on the Sex And The City reboot series, And Just Like That.

Sarah Jessica Parker who is stepping into the Manolo Blahniks of Sex And The City protagonist Carrie Bradshaw all over again for the upcoming revival series called And Just Like That spoke to Vogue about the “misogynistic chatter” about her appearance.

In an interview with Vogue for their December 2021 issue, Sarah Jessica Parker opened up about how she witnessed a lot of criticism regarding the female characters’ appearance on social media. She said, “There’s so much misogynist chatter in response to us that would never. Happen. About. A. Man,” the actress told Vogue, emphasizing each word. “‘Gray hair gray hair gray hair. Does she have gray hair?’ I’m sitting with Andy Cohen, and he has a full head of gray hair, and he’s exquisite. Why is it okay for him? I don’t know what to tell you, people!”

Sarah, who is on the cover of Vogue‘s December issue, said that she saw the comments, especially the ones made on social media platforms. She continued stating that everyone had something or the other to say. Parker further added, “ 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. What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? Disappear?”

Honestly, hearing the Sex And The City actress, I feel like we’re so unfair to the actresses everywhere in the world. An actor who has aged is considered to be like fine wine, but when it comes to actresses the rules change, why? Sarah Jessica Parker has very valid and well-justified points when it comes to ageing and the way we see middle-aged actresses. Something that we all should think about.
