This post is going to

This post is going to anger all you females out there, so if you're of the feminine persuasion you might want to take a raincheck on this one (although having said this you've probably already scrolled down to the good part). It's pretty graphic too so hide the kids or younger siblings.

All that is wrong in America can be traced back to "Sex and the City". For years and years, women complained that guys were sleazeballs because all they wanted to do was get in their pants and sleep around with other women. "All you care about is sex," they would say, "We want sensitive guys to have deep emotional relationships with." Then this abomination of a show came out on HBO and women got all hypocritical on us.

It seems that if guys sleep around and don't commit to a relationship, they branded as players or frat guys (and deservedly so), but if women do the same thing, they are "exercising their independence". And it's all thanks to this show. Just listen to some of these episode synopsis clips:

-"Samantha gets extremely drunk and Charlotte lets her stay over at her place. In the middle of the night while Charlotte is asleep Samantha, still drunk, goes downstairs and gets the doorman to come upstairs and have sex."

-"Miranda introduces the friends to the Rabbit, a mechanical aid, and Charlotte becomes addicted. Stanford Blatch proposes to Carrie as a cover, so he can inherit his part of the family fortune."

-"Samantha chances on an old boyfriend who is now a drag queen, named in her honor, at drag bingo. "

-"Samantha introduces the four friends to a new restaurant with an S & M theme. Charlotte's shoe cravings meet a foot fetishist in a shoe store. Miranda dates Jack, a guy who enjoys the risk of being caught “in flagrante delicto”. Stanford Blatch goes to a new club, to meet his cybersex partner for the first time, but meets someone else new."

-"Charlotte thinks she's bad in bed when a guy falls asleep while making love to her so she enrolls herself in a tantric sex workshop and signs Carrie, Samantha and Miranda up as well. They go to the workshop and they all learn how to please their partner without actually having sex and Miranda accidently gets hit by flying ejaculate."

-"Samantha stands up to Matt, her new male assistant, eventually firing him, and then having sex with him."

-"Miranda is attracted to a man wearing a sandwich costume. "

-"Charlotte, tiring of the lack of sex with Trey, has a couple of encounters with a gardener, which leads to their separation."

-"Samantha and Maria have their first fight because of all the men that Samantha has been with simply for sex. Samantha complains that all Maria wants to do is talk and that she herself misses sex with a man so Maria buys Samantha a strap-on and Samantha throws her back out using it on Maria."

I could go on and on here. The point is that "women's empowerment" has become "women act in the same manner that they complain about in guys" because of this overblown, unrealistic soap opera. Is it too much to ask for people to actually behave as they expect others to? Is someone like me who is actually interested in a meaningful relationship doomed to date mindless "Sex and the City" drones from now on? More importantly, where can I obtain one of those sandwich cotumes?
