There was a bunch of them in the 70's. One Day at A Time was about a single Mom and two daughters. The the ugly one who wasn't Valerie Bertinelli ended up as a crackhead whore in real life. Different Strokes predated rich white people in Hollywood adopting poor black kids, albeit they were American not foreign born as is en vogue now. Mr Drummond beat Madonna and The Slut Formerly Known As Mrs. Pitt by at least twenty years.

Then in '92 there was Murphy Brown in the showing a post 40 year old career woman having a baby with no Father present. It was so scandalous that VP Dan Quayle commented on it. He was made the butt of many a late-night talk show hosts' jokes, but he was right.

I quote:
“Bearing babies irresponsibly is simply wrong,” the vice president said. “Failing to support children one has fathered is wrong. We must be unequivocal about this. It doesn’t help matters when prime-time TV has Murphy Brown, a character who supposedly epitomizes today’s intelligent, highly paid professional woman, mocking the importance of fathers by bearing a child alone and calling it just another lifestyle choice.”

The ugly one on One Day at a Time was MacKenzie Philips, the daughter of John Philips of the Mamas and the Papas. She put out a book a few years ago in which she said she was doing drugs and having sex with her dad and his rock star friends when she was a teen. No idea how true that is, but it seems plausible.

The first show to truly glorify, not portray but glorify, being a slut was Sex and the City. Even the "good girl"on the show was fucking a lot of guys.

i would have to agree with others that "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" was probably the first TV show to really glorify the "strong, independent woman" character.

The show runners decided rather than make "Mary Richards" a divorcee on "The Mary Tyler Moore" show, she should have a failed engagement instead -- so viewers wouldn't "feel" like she got a divorce from Dick Van Dyke.

It's also interesting to note that years earlier when Mary Tyler Moore played "Laura Petrie" on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" she literally was one of the first women to wear pants on TV.

+1 on the idea of "Sex and the City" were first one to do untold amounts of damage. You can be a slut into old age! Guys will sure desire you! You go girl!

Goodbar definitely doesn't glorify the slut lifestyle. It is pretty red pill in that it shows the main character's total disdain for the "good guy", and her choice of banging the unstable bad boy ends up getting her killed.

Also disagree with another poster who said Taxi Driver. There was nothing glorifying about the Jodie Foster character. "He called you a little piece of chicken" is one of the best lines ever.

I agree, both of those movies were pretty red pill

OP didn't ask if they were red pill. OP asked if they glorified the slut lifestyle, which both did.

Considering Diane Keaton gets murdered at the end of 'Looking for Mr. Goodbar', I don't think it was too much of a glorification

Neither was Taxi Driver

It always seemed plausible, now X1000 when you think about the revelations of the past week.

True - one of the matriarchs of the slut lifestyle was Helen Gurley Brown, Editor and Chief of Cosmopolitan, among other notable "achievements."

Quote:In 1962, when Brown was 40, her book Sex and the Single Girl[16] was published in 28 countries, and stayed on the bestseller lists for over a year.[17] In 1964 the book inspired a film of the same name starring Natalie Wood. In 1965, Brown became editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, then a literary magazine famed for high-toned content, and reinvented it as a magazine for the modern single career-woman.[18] In the 1960s, Brown was an outspoken advocate of women's sexual freedom and sought to provide women with role models in her magazine. She claimed that women could have it all – "love, sex, and money". As a result of her advocacy, glamorous, fashion-focused women were sometimes called "Cosmo Girls". Her work played a part in what is often called the sexual revolution.

There you have a significant driving force behind slut-expansionism before even birth control pills were widely available thanks to a Supreme Court decision in 1965.

Mary Tyler Moore was definitely a significant TV indicator, though. Then other examples followed for single motherhood (Murphy Brown - in one episode), gay acceptance (Will and Grace, Ellen, etc), and taking sluttiness to polite discussion (SATC).

Whatever is next on the horizon - gay parenting, transexual kids, pedophilia, robot sex, you can be sure it will be aided and abetted by a willing pop culture and fostered along by the elitist left. Maybe the Muslims will arrive in significant numbers to disrupt things a bit along the way, but in either case Western civilization as we know it is toast.

EDIT - Ironically, Mary Tyler Moore herself either didn't think or didn't care what the effects of her character would be, but lately she's claiming to be more of a traditionalist:

Quote: In an interview for the 2013 PBS series Pioneers of Television, Moore says that she was "recruited" to join the feminist movement of the 1970s by Gloria Steinem but did not agree with Steinem's views. Moore said she believed that women have an important role in raising children and that she did not believe in Steinem's view that "women owe it to themselves to have a career."[63]

Alas, actors have to be whores (sometimes literally) to get roles; her situation was probably no different - she did it for the money.
