Kim Cattrall: ‘cougars are passé’

Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall has claimed cougars -- the stereotyped sex-hungry older woman who chases younger men -- no longer exist.

Kim Cattrall has said the term ‘cougar’ is passé. Cattrall found worldwide fame playing Sex And The City character Samantha, a sexually aggressive older woman with a taste for younger men. But the actress has said that the stereotype is now out of date. "Cougar is passé. I think we're on to something else now,” Kim told MSN. “It's not about kitten or cougar - we're moving beyond those stereotypes. It's about so much more than just being a woman on the prowl - there's a lot more going on than that. We've done the work, let's enjoy the party. Let's not limit ourselves to labels. 'Cougar' makes it all feel one-dimensional. It's not.
"It's why I feel 'cougar' is way over now,” Kim added. “It's gone beyond that. It's about a fully-realised woman who works and plays and is successful and does all those things on her own terms. That's much more rounded than a cougar could ever be."
