    i am sure that you're aware that sex and the city was dreamed up by a MAN. it is the perception of a MAN to show that women want to be just as free with their sexuality as men are. this show is a gross misinterpretation. the show was devised by men for men. some sort of warped attempt at sexual equality.

    I'd like to fire that guy. Oh wait, I'm a man too. I'm supposed to be just like him.

    oh please ahnimus, don't play the wounded soul. not all men are the same. and you know it. and that's not what i meant.
    but now thta i think about it perhaps darren starr's intention was to show woman that this is what they 'really want'. women secretly want to be like men. to be able to have sex with anyone they want and to sit around and discuss it.
    and what happens in the final episode? it reverts back to female stereotypes.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    Ok, you contradict yourself there.

    I am a man and I don't have sex with anyone I want. First of all they have to want to have sex with me as well. Also, I don't particularily think it's good to sleep around. I've had sex once in the last year. So that's a stereotype inside of a stereotype. I certainly don't discuss my encounters with people.

    Apparently the guy left a note for his wife stating that he was getting revenge for the abuse of two family members. It wasn't clear if the family members were abused by the man or by someone else. It also wasn't clear if the abused family members were boys or girls. There is very little clear about this particular incident.

    He did write in his note, to his daughter, that he was sorry he couldn't be there for her to grow up. There must have been something seriously bothering this guy, I don't think we will ever fully understand what happened.

    I really can't comment on anything related to any television show, since I don't watch television. That she's a fictional character is all that I know about her, so I have no idea what sort of role model she might be.

    I made my comment because you sympathized with whoever might marry her, which seemed like sort of a goofy thing to say about someone who doesn't exist.

    It wasn't meant seriously. And taking my comment as anything besides intentionally goofy, is pretty goofy. :p And since you've never watched TV, ill let you in on a secret, sometimes the fictional characters get married. ;)

    that's not what i said ahnimus. nor was it my intent. i was talking about the perceptions portrayed in a particular show, not television in general.

    Maybe he's a flaming gay financial genius with a rather strange outlook on what "liberated" means.
    Tho it doesn't take much "genius" to know that if you make a show about a bunch of loose women and call them "strong and liberated" that the cash is gonna roll in. There's very few shows directed right towards women, they don't have a ton of options outside of chick-flicks. Easy recipe to suck in the female audience.

    I don't know...maybe a dude who was eating pizza one night, listening to his girlfriend complain about another stupid "guy" show and it was like "Holy FUCK! I could make a FUCKING killing if I made a show that was just for chicks! Hells yes!"
