For as forward-thinking as Sex and the City was for its time, the show hasn’t aged well. From Samantha’s problematic views towards the trans community, to Carrie’s complete denial that bisexuals are, in fact, real, there’s a lot about the once-beloved show that makes us absolutely cringe today.

Luckily, one SATC superfan has created an Instagram and is calling out the ladies on their backwards shit. Introducing #WokeCharlotte. She’s been serving up intellectual responses to her friends’ ignorant remarks for a while now, and we have a feeling she’s only just getting started…
Scroll down for #WokeCharlotte…

WokeCharlotte needs to get a job. As an attempt at social commentary this is both a failure and a crashing bore.

These memes might be intended ironically or as satire. These days it’s so hard to tell…

I thought it was amusing, because people just didn’t talk that way in the ’90s: either the vocabulary OR the pompous, know-it-all tone. Don’t know about you but I never heard the word “cisgender” for instance until about 2012.
You can be liberal and still make fun of “SJW” silliness – check out The Atlantic’s recent look at Reed College students freaking out about Steve Martin’s “King Tut” song (worth checking out on YouTube if you’re too young to remember 1978):

Indeed, it’s hard to tell if this person actually endorses the captions being posted or if it’s meant to be a parody of overly sensitive types. If it’s a parody, it works. Unless that’s clarified though, I guess we have to assume its a true expression–and it’s pretty concerning and annoying.

So someone is supposed to be happy having a bunch of trans hookers screaming outside their window at night?

Didn’t anyone warn you not to move near the Lincoln Tunnel?

Didn’t she move to that building because her other building was robbed due to someone piggybacking off of one of her frequent gentleman callers? The other tenants were angry.

The one with the dirty talk was rather genuinely funny.
A lot of Sex and the City has aged poorly, not really because it was politically incorrect but rather because its brand of relentless tropes and pun-driven humor comes off rather annoying now.

watching something last night where someone was explaining that mullatto is not a word used anymore but “mixed” instead. I think it was a Very Sordid Wedding. I always cringe when f** is used, especially on Will and Grace.

Be gone politically correct mind control. The second movie has damaged the show more than anything!

I’m really feeling new Woke Charlotte a lot more than old Classic Charlotte. This irony and self-referencing is deliciously ‘meta’!!

I was a kid when this series came out, so I didn’t really watch it or get into it. But I did see one of the movies on a VERY long flight from Miami to Brazil…and couldn’t effing figure out why ANYONE would watch this crap. But congratulations; whoever came out with these memes made this just that much more unbearable.
