Sex and the City was a TV show, not an anthropological blue print to the minds of all ladies between 18 and 40. Please stop using Carry Bradshaw references to make your point about wacky single girls. We are not a monolith and we are not all able to be put into Carry, Miranda, Charlotte or Samantha categories.

Unlike the make believe Carry, I cook, fabulously well actually. I know how to make a bechamel sauce from a rue. I know how to do things with fleshy animals that would make your mouth water and your tummy growl. And every girl I know cooks something. But I get tired of cooking every single night. Sure, there may be some girls who don’t know how to cook, but most of us single types learn how to cook because we have to. Very few of us have the kind of budgets that make restaurants and take out a nightly affair (especially with the 70 cents on the dollar wage gap).

And Micheal Pollan- STFU already. Has anyone ever noticed that when it comes to improving the quality of life by eschewing modern consumerism that the onus for those corrections is put on women.

Let’s see

Environmental fixes: woman are the ones sorting the trash from the recycling, using craptastic non-toxic cleaners that increase the time they spend doing laundry or scrubbing toilets, hunting down recycled unbleached toilet paper and washing cloth napkins to save a tree, looking for organic cotton t shirts and socks that will very quickly be ruined and/or lost by most children.

And food. When it was slow food, who do you think it is spending all those extra hours in the kitchen making slow cooked soups and sauces instead of opening up a can. It is women who spend the time and effort hunting down locally grown, organic, nitrate free all natural goodness while trying to stay within the family budget (they don’t call it whole paycheck foods for nothing). It is women who are required to stay up on the latest whole grain, low fat, high protein, no carbs, good carbs, too much sodium, god fats, transfats, not enough vitamin whatever and don’t forget to get enough folic acid cause you might be pre-pregnant bullshit.

And don’t even get me started on those stupid Barbara Bush commercials about families eating dinner together. Seriously, if you want families to eat dinner together then make it so Mom and Dad don’t each need 2 jobs to pay the mortgage. But the guilt trip about how children suffer when nobody sits down to dinner with them is directed straight to moms.

That is all
