Emptiness and the City : Treating sex as meaningless and people as objects leads to boredom.

Ann Coulter wrote a while back that as soon as she saw the series she knew it was written by homosexual men. And apparently it was.

She said she could tell because no women would really talk or behave like that. The promiscuity was more reminiscnet of gays.

Did Ann Coulter write that? Because I’ve always thought the same thing. The only woman that would act like Samantha is a tranny.

Many hollywood writers are gay men. Over 120 episodes of Sex and the City was written by gay male writers. The actress Laura Hutton slammed the show for its over the top sexual content and criticized the writers of being self indulgent. The openly gay male creator of Desperate Housewives did the same thing with his series. Essentially, they repackage society based on their view of how things are or should be and crank out a series where attractive women replace the gay men as far as characters. For some reason, women love these series and it seems the writers end up with huge hits by doing this.

Yes indeed it is written by gay men and it reflects their sexual immorality. I’ve always felt it was an attempt by bitter gay men to demoralize and mock heterosexuality and traditional relationships. If you notice the language is always directed negatively at the man in the relationship, never analyzing the boorish behavior of the women. I know many single women who claim Sex and The City to be their “Bible.” How sad.

This is an outstanding piece of writing, an excellent book review, both insightful and intriguing. It tells you what the book is about without letting you think that you would no longer profit from reading it.

“...perhaps part of the reason these women fail to find commitment-free sex liberating is that they continue to harbor desires for monogamous love, marriage, and children.”

That is not part of the reason; it is THE reason and it applies to men just as much. Promiscuity is not biologically optimal for men, women — and least of all for the children they produce.

Nature screams against it. Those who behave as if they are primarily pleasure organs rather than reproductive organs cannot escape the emotional and physical penalties.

The rest of society pays the price also.

Just curious, could we count POLYGAMY as promiscuity ? If say, a Muslim has 5 wives, all of whom he is committed to, would this be considered commitment-free, or a commitment to 5 women ? Just wondering....

Having harems is not promiscuity because there is sexual exclusivity. That is fine for animals that don’t have a forehead, but for sentient beings, in order for harems to work, the females must be kept uneducated and disenfranchised.

No empowered woman is going to voluntarily choose to become part of a harem. That is why so many of the female breeding chattel start out their careers as minor children.

The harem system is not functional; there is a direct correlation of a nation’s economic health and the empowerment of women. The greater the gap in education and influence, the poorer the country is.

Women who took “Sex and the City” as their model were only following the unfulfilling path blazed by Gay America, as the writers of that tawdry serial were gay men writing of the gay-lifestyle, only substituting women for the characters, to make it saleable to the public.

I wonder what percentage of the relevant age-range participates in the sort of lives the book describes. I often find books or see articles by 30-ish to 40-ish people who have suddenly realized they’re well on in middle age without much to show for years of promiscuity, but I don’t meet these people in real life

Eric Carmen once wrote a song along those lines you just brought up. It became a big hit. It's entitled : ALL BY MYSELF.

First verse :

"When I was young

I never needed anyone

And making love was just for fun

Those days are gone

Livin' alone

I think of all the friends I've known

When I dial the telephone

Nobody's home

All by myself

Don't wanna be

All by myself

Anymore

I remember the melody, but I don’t think I ever paid any attention to what the song was about!

Coming from the coulter woman that doesn't surprise me.

I've known MANY promiscuous women and they've gone about their adventures in many different ways. Straight people are promiscuous as well- it's not just a gay thing. I was extremely promiscuous in my 20s. And found many women who were like minded. I tried to keep alcohol out of it for the most part. I liked knowing what I was doing and with whom and I liked for them to know as well.

LOL. Not true. I've met many who would and did choose that. Just because you haven't met any doesn't mean there aren't any out there.

You would be absolutely shocked, I imagine, to see some of the things I've seen in this life. People have no limits.
