NEW YORK — Dina Matos McGreevey should take herself to the movies, because the new Sex and the City flick opened this weekend and she needs to see it. The four main characters each represent the four parts of the female psyche. Charlotte the puritan, Miranda the career woman, Samantha lustful, and of course Carrie the romantic.

What the movie finally teaches, that the series never really did, is that only a woman who is true to all of her selves — who is fully integrated — can live happily ever after. As Carrie says to the girls, “We spend all this time writing our vows but no time writing our own rules.”

Who would have thought Sex in the City would be giving advice to the former first lady of New Jersey. But it’s good advice and Dina should take it. It’s time for women to stop looking to men for fulfillment, financial and otherwise. And it is time for us to live our lives on our own terms. And that means our love lives too. And that’s the Last Word.

Right on! I am so sick and tired of all these single women looking to latch on to some man because they have an empty existence. Women need to get the hell out there and empower themselves. I am not talking about stripping men of their roles or becoming a nazi-feminist. Learn to stand up for yourself, be educated and know that you CAN live without a man. CHOOSE to have a man. Not all marriages last, men die and the life insurance runs out. You better be secure in who you are because, honey, a man cannot fulfill all your needs-not even close.
