female genital circumcision? hermaphroditism?
our collective temporary insanity—dear g-d, please let it be temporary—about janet has distracted us from the final episodes of sex and the city. which, truth be told, have ended up seeming gratuitously sad—and not just because the show's drag-queens-at-the-clown-rodeo wardrobe schtick (particularly in regard to sarah jessica parker) has definitively passed from glam to gruesome.
janet jackson's career has been drooping for years. sex and the city was hot almost till the end. then the show had to go all lifetime on us. (if it had gone a seventh season, what remaining women’s topics could it have possibly tackled? female genital circumcision? hermaphroditism?)
