Something to think about

Other than the actual column turned into a book "Sex and the City" I have never liked Candice Bushnell's books.  I think they are often too preoccupied with status and instead of psyche.  Of course, I am guilty of adoring snarkiness too.  Gawker, while condescending and obnoxious at times does a great job of pointing out the holes in arguments- even exploiting them.  

Sex is so much the same.  Relationships- at least in the beginning- are built on this.  We are concerned with status and who we appear to be--rather than what we actually are.  I thought Candice Bushnell made a great statement (via Gawker via Elle):

"A lot of [sexual] behavior is dictated less b gender and more by money, status, and power.  Actresses in Hollywood have always had a lot of sex secretly.  Why?  Because they can.  Because they're not reliant on a man to provide a roof over their head.  That changes your sexual behavior.  Because if you're looking for a man to provide for you, you don't want to be seen as a woman who sleeps around.  Men object to it because you're not viewed as wife material."
