The point of that column on "Sex and the City," which everyone yelled
at me at the time for making, is that girls don't talk like that. And
then I realized guys don't talk like that. This is how gay men talk. I
did a lot of research on it, as I do on all my columns and I came to
the conclusion that "Sex and the City" was basically putting gay men
into women's bodies.
Which gender relentlessly pursues sex? At least with heterosexuals,
there's someone there to say "no." That would be the girl.
Anyway, everyone yelled at me when I wrote it for "George" magazine.
Then a year later, Vanity Fair caught up to my point and made the same
point.
