I did see a quote in a SATC movie review that, if an accurate portrayal of the series, is very telling: "they treat men like accessories." I can't seem to keep the mood of that quote but, in the context of the review, if was kind of an off-hand, non-judgmental, feminist quote. Kind of like: "as men have done to us, we've now relegated men to the outskirts of our lives, they're nice but not that important." My home team recently completed the RedHotMonogamy studies based on the books For Men Only and For Women Only. One of the main themes is that (contrary to many stereotypical media presentations) deep down, most women really, really do need and respect their husbands and most men really, really do need and love their wives. I think we often believe the media lie and live like our husbands really don't love us and our wives really don't respect us and so, why not just ignore our deep yearnings, protect our hearts and place our trust in shopping girlfriends and Gucci bags or drinking buddies and sports teams. Even feathers can fill a vacuum, it just takes a lot of them.
