Sorry about the retreaded old jokes & videos- but don't think I can stop completely. A lame sense of humour frequently overwhelms me, and everybody suffers.

I have seen some of what you mention. It's pervasive in the media. But who is responsible? Who wants to create and maintain animosity between men and women? Especially white men? Our women? Why? My wives loved me and always helped me, and vice versa. Whose interest was it to turn the genders against each other? Who pays for all this propaganda? My wife notices it, she is not blind. She calls me in to see some show, or commercial, wanting me to explain what they were trying to do or meant by it. I can't explain it.

A related thought that's lurked in the back of my mind for many years, watching all the equally pervasive ZPG propaganda, the Planned Parenthood and similar organisations. Where did their money come from? Who wanted us to stop reproducing, to change our ways so we have few children? If these people are our friends, why do they want to stop us from having children? What was the benifit to them?

What I saw of SATC, the little unconnected bits, seemed sad. Undignifying for at least a couple of the characters. I thought it negative to both sexes in different ways, but mostly it seemed like it was anti romantic.

Today we have some sort of political forces constantly pounding on every division in our once fairly unified society. People are trying to stir up racism, sectionialism, genderism, ethnicism, religous strife. Lookup Lee Atwater, he typifies proffession. His 'deathbed' confession is about how doing just that was his career, a political scientest/engineer working for his employers. Magnify him by a few hundred or thousand.
