I just picked up the latest issue of Bitch magazine and was a little relieved. The one before had me a bit confused. It seemed that every single article made some reference to that tv series "Sex in the City". It was if that had become the single reference for all women. Granted, not every reference was reverential, but that wasn't the point. Every problem women have to deal with was put through the Sex in the City filter.

It made me think about what people have to deal with. It may sound naive or utopian, but it would be easier if we didn't have to be put into categories...white, black, male, female, etc. All women have to deal with...blah, blah, blah. All blacks have to deal with, blah, blah, blah. It is the reality, but it shouldn't be. To then have to run everything through a Sex in the City filter. Man...that's rough....Think about it. What if every group had to run their issues through a TV filter of the same group:

• Women = Sex in the City


• Blacks = Good Times


• Hispanics = George Lopez Show


• Gay (out) = Will and Grace


• Gay (not out) = Any NFL pre-game show


• Mentally Challenged = C-Span

Man, that would be rough. I guess we can all do that as individuals. I'm just worried that I'd be constantly wondering, "I wonder what Danny Partridge would do in this situation?" or "How would Salami, from the White Shadow, deal with this?"
