Woman Versus Man - A Study in Stereotypes

Here's a little video animation I found at YouTube on Women versus Men. It was made by an Italian man so keep that in mind.

What I found interesting about the whole thing was this - the stereotypes of what a man is and what a woman is don't seem to have changed all that much. I'm just wondering how this cartoon might have been different if created by a woman, Italian or otherwise?

The section on "Seduction" was pretty accurate though, lol. Check it out and let me know what you all think - have we really "come a long way, baby" or are we kidding ourselves?

Are You a "SEX" Maniac? I'm talking "Sex in the City"!

I admit it. I am a "Sex" maniac. I loved the "Sex and the City" series on HBO. It was so refreshing to see four women, not girls, in the prime of their life and getting the most out of New York, men and their world in general!

These were real women, they cursed (sometimes shockingly so), they slept around, they suffered and they celebrated with each other. It was a wonderful testament to sisterhood, DIVAdom and friendship.

These were women of the modern world, they had thrown out the "truths" told to them by the previous generation and they were taking on life on their own terms. I loved them all because they complemented each other and gave each other what no man ever could - total support and understanding.

Based on Candace Bushnell's book of the same title, it was centered around Carrie Bradshaw (the narrator and central DIVA, Sarah Jessica Parker) and her three DIVA friends, Samantha Jones (the sexy one played by Kim Cattrall), Charlotte York (the sweet one played by Kristin Davis) and Miranda Hobbes (the career minded one, Cynthia Nixon).

I cannot wait for the Memorial Day weekend because the "Sex in the City" movie premieres May 30th! I've already made plans to go and see the movie with my DIVA friends and fellow "Sex" maniacs - I wonder if I could manage to sneak in a few Cosmopolitans to go with my popcorn?

WE NEED MENOPAUSE PARKING AND WE NEED IT NOW!

Since I seem to be on a menopause kick lately, here's a little comedy routine from a very funny DIVA of a "certain age", Chonda Pierce.

Ms. Pierce has a little suggestion to make the world easier for those of us over 40 which would also make the world a safer place for all, because we all know that a happier menopausal woman is less likely to commit an act of hot flash induced violence!

HOT v. COLD - THE TEMPERATURE DANCE BETWEEN THE SEXES

My friend and writer, Elizabeth, wrote this in an email to me about the temperature wars in her house with her husband:

"It's super cloudy, almost foggy today and we've been having hot weather, how strange. My husband is holed up in his office with the heat blowing. I swear it's ninety degrees in there. I'm hot all the time, and he's cold all the time. Things used to be the other way around. It's not THAT cold this morning, he could put on a sweater!"

After posting about menopause this made me laugh. For some reason couples seem to have this temperature dance throughout their domestic years. Have you ever noticed? If you want the windows open at night your partner wants them closed. While you go about freezing and piling on sweaters your partner is running around naked or close to it.

And then, sometime, after you hit 40 or so, you hit menopause and all hell breaks loose! And what does your partner do? They flip too and start having cold flashes!

It made me wonder, is this a medical phenomenon or is it just that couples seem to like the temperature dance? Which made me laugh again and remember the old saying "Dildo's don't dance."

They don't care if you're having a hot flash either!
