Things Lindy West wants to change about her life while changing nothing about her body:
1). Standing up to misogynistic doctors saying her body cannot support a baby, as if she should be expected to want one.
2), Fighting Nazis thinking marrying a gay man who has no physical attraction to her is weird.
3). Standing with the Suffragettes who would probably love her huge, aggressive, Tony Soprano presence.
4). Taking down Old White Men who think eating an ice cream cake for breakfast doesn't fit into their retrograde 1960s stepford wife template.
5). Defending Muslims who have their flowing female garb all figured out for her type of Empowered Woman.
6). Advocating for all the women who have been unfairly ghosted on Tindr dates by dudebros who don't believe a woman should speak HER TRUTH through carefully angled photos.
—after eleventy decades of chasing his emotionally abusive jowls through the streets of Manhattan—Carrie finally marries Mr. Big, the man of her shallow, self-obsessed dreams. It has now been two years since their nuptials. Carrie already hates it. She hates that he sits on the couch. She hates that he eats noodles out of a take-out box. She hates that he wants to spend quality time with her in their incredibly expensive and gaudy apartment. She hates that he bought her an enormous television. When Big suggests that they spend a couple of days a week in separate apartments (they own TWO apartments, because life is hard!), Carrie screeches, "Is this because I'm a bitch wife who nags you?" Congratulations. You have answered your own question."
