Gen X women are having all the sex!

Gen X women are having all the sex!

Or so the internet wants us to believe. Is there something else going on here entirely?

Bridget Jones. We’ll have what she’s having. Yeah yeah.

The Shift With Sam Baker is a reader-supported publication. If you enjoy my work and would like to support it, why not consider becoming a paid subscriber.

I am a Gen X woman and, I’ve got to be honest, I’m feeling a little bit inadequate.

Gen X women are having the best sex! Screamed a New York Times headline (over a slightly, but not much, less hysterical feature). Bridget Jones, 51 (Renee Zellwegger) is shagging a 29-year-old old park warden (Leo Woodall) and her children’s teacher, the equally hot but more “age appropriate” Mr Wallaker (Chewitel Ejiofor), in the newly released Bridget Jones redux, Mad About The Boy. Nicole Kidman, 57, is lapping milk at the behest of her 20something intern in Babygirl, (having already thrown her family into disarray by dating Zac Efron, 37, in A Family Affair) ditto Anne Hathaway, 42, in The Idea of You.

What am I even doing with my time?!
