This study suggests that we are all "stuck" with our biology...and it doesn't explain bisexuality at all.

I consider myself bisexual...I'm physically (and strongly) attracted to women, but emotionally attracted to men. Ultimately, the emotional attraction wins out, and becomes physical, presenting a more fulfilling prospect. I have very little emotional attraction to women, and so find the idea of a relationship with a woman to be unsatisfying. I have read accounts of other bisexual women whose bent is very similar to mine, so I am not alone.

How does biology explain that?

Georgia O'Keefe was a lesbian all her early life. If you're familiar with her art, you know that NO ONE loved the female body more than she. And yet, later on, she found that the love of her life happened to be a man.

How does biology explain that?

Kinsey was right. Human sexuality is too complex to be explain in black and white terms.

I'm with you. This article was full of reverse snobbery and prejudice. Does Ms. Miller presume to know what all rich people are like? But then, I guess she's getting her education from "90210".

I know rich people who live modest lives and give away half of what they earn. And they're liberals to boot. Because they don't live ostentatious lives, we don't hear or know about them as "rich people". There may be more of them out there than you think.

Perhaps we should not judge people by the fatness of their checkbook, but by the content of their character.

I meant to say "Ms. Havrilesky".

Thanks...you made me laugh out loud. What is Salon's obsession with Sarah Palin. All the panic gives her too much credit, and therefore, too much power.

I may see this movie (at some point) just to hear the line spoken out loud: "I mostly been with horses, and that squaw I told you about."

...is the reminder of how unintentionally funny Rumsfeld really was.

...from my fellow readers with regard to Keira Knightley. I thought she was utterly charming in "Pride and Prejudice", and, in fact, I own that movie. (I particularly loved the Bronte-esque flavor of the film. Jane Austen would have probably hated it...Darcy striding across the misty countryside to declare his passion to Lizzy, like some sort of aristocratic Heathcliff. But Bronte novels are more visually and emotionally rich than Austen's, and so more conducive to good film making. Miss Austen will just have to forgive Mr. Wright for the Bronte-fying of her story.)

But I digress. This film sounds like great fun, and I shall see it. Thanks to David Terry (hello, David) for drawing attention to Charlotte Rampling. I saw her the first time as a teenager in a television run of 1966's "Georgy Girl", in which a young and curvaceous Rampling played the role of Meredith next to Lynn Redgrave's Georgy. It was an excellent performance. Aging actresses rarely get their due in movie reviews, the reviewers being so overwhelmed by the young, waifish leads being cast nowadays.

You poor, bitter, angry soul.

I'm not sure you even read this article. Ms. Williams had only good things to say about her ex. She never once placed all the blame on him, and there was no indication that he is not allowed to see his children.

You also assume that the male was the only one contributing to the household expenses. Ms. Williams clearly states that she has an income, and that they bought the co-op TOGETHER. It was a tough break when the husband lost his job, but these are the times we live in.

You need to come out of the 1950's and get over it. Women don't NEED men to "fund their dreams" anymore. Dreams are funded together, or they are funded separately. We all get to pick. You seem to think that a marriage is some vehicle to prop up the fragile male ego. I think not.

"Some very talented writer someday will transcend the SATC ----- misery-of-singlehood dialectic to give us characters - ordinary women (and men) - who learn that emotional regulation and tolerance of solitude are learned and internal, not dependent on distraction by material consumption or even distractingly entertaining friends, whose existential courage and belief in human potential will allow them to model freedom from the fear- and scarcity-driven monogamy contracts that trade self determination for material security and social acceptance. That would be a start."

I just have to second that. How's about a story about a single woman who is HAPPY about being single? Not enough conflict? There's plenty...because nobody BELIEVES her when she says she happy with being single (and blessedly barren).
