Female Legitimacy, Battlestar Galactica, Sex, Love, and Emotion

On Those Who Man-Bash (or Woman-Bash)
Theme Song: “Vertigo” U2 So there I was, about a year ago, watching Sex in the City as a divorced woman with a friend. When I was in my 20s, it was one of my favorite TV shows. As I watched the movie, I noticed all the man-bashing jabs and watched my friend laugh at …
