I love a good city that offers me good food, good freaks, good stories.
I love sex.
I love the movies.
But I am NOT going to see Sex and the City. Everº. Not even on DVD.
I cannot stand the privileged whiny bitches who pretend to be all about women power and sisterhood, and whose lives revolve, at the end of the day, around men's whim.
Very well. I'll be the first to admit that a man's whim can be charming and piss you off into a state of ceaseless desire. But you should know yourself enough, woman, to meet that man at the door with your own damn whim.
So let me continue: I cannot stand that the source of pride and envy for the skinnyass WhatsHerNameº in the show is that she is a woman who spends more on a pair of shoes (that are butt ugly) than I spend on my rent each month.º
I'm all for Sisterhood. I miss the sisterfriends I used to have (one moved out of town; the other went crazy and became a ghost) and the Monday wine and cheese nights. I miss the Friday Supper Club. (Yes, food is important to sisterhood.) But what I miss has nothing to do with having shit loads of money and having vaginas without knowing in what direction to throw either one of these things. (I know exactly what I want to do with my vagina, thank you.)
So get those ads for the movie out of my face.
º If you have a Sex and the City gathering at your house, it's OK for you not to invite me. In fact, I would be offended if you invited me. I'd rather watch infomercials...online (I don't have a tv).
º Seriously, I don't remember her name. Carrie something-something? OR is that her tv show name? I think so. Fuck, I don't care. I need my brain cells to imagine nomadic plots and plans. According to a student of mine, she redeems all the anti-womanness of the show by being a writer who is processing these stories at the end of each episode. "Isn't that empowering? She's writing out her stories, owning them." You almost got me there, little girl... But NO. She is annoying. She has no will power. She is a self-indulgent whiner.
º 1% of the population in this country control 47% of the wealth therein. That same 1% controls education in this country. And 5 corporations in the US control the media.
