(the straight girl with the gay guy) and I always thought there was
something weird about her fascination and interest in the show.
I knew it had something to do with the fact that there were men in the
show but they weren't real men.
But I couldn't get beyond that.
Then I read this...thought it was great and wanted to share it...
It is a comment on one of Marc Rudov's columns
"I look to things like chick movies and many shows geared towards women
which are the culprit. I often used to joke that the problem with
Hollywood isn’t sex or violence, it is chick movies like What Women
Want (I often joke that the long and short answer to that question is
that Women Don’t Know and Men Don’t Care) Hope Floats, The English
Patient, Brokeback Mountain or any assorted movies with Sandra Bullock.
If anyone has any other chick flicks for the hall of shame just list
them right here:___________________
The other problem is with shows like Sex In The City, Friends, Will and
Grace and any other sitcom that has come out geared towards women and
hides from them the truths about the differences between the sexes which
leaves them in a state of discontent.
Will and Grace I have often said fuels a certain fantasy many women who
have gay friends that they can turn him straight, marry him and live
happily ever after. But in reality that isn’t going to happen.
The worst thing about going out on a date is to hear a woman talk about her
gay friends which doesn’t interest me at all. Talking about her gay
friends on a date is a good indicator of how misplaced her own sexuality
is.
I once heard Tom Leykis talk about Sex In The city and tell a caller
that the women on the show are virtual lesbians. The characters are so
co-dependent on one another that they are incapable of being in a
relationship with a man. I have said that to women who have responded oh
I just want to see the women get it on with one another which I respond
that they are missing the point. The characters on the show perfectly
demonstrate how so many women have that Princess and the Pea syndrome.
They can’t break from it because they don’t want to.
And women who watch these shows buy into the con which distorts their
perception of men by looking for something that just doesn’t exist."
