SEX

As I've said before, I've come quite obsessed with Grey's Anatomy. So obsessed I went out and bought the first and second season using my credit card that is designated "only for emergencies." OOPS. But, in this case, it was an emergency. I've come to the conclusion that my beloved show is nothing more but a show to exploit women in their sexual situations.
After Meredith Grey slept with a couple more people after Derrick, I thought, "Hm, she's just trying to get over him." NO. She had another one night stand and I can't help but think that men actually expect ALL women to do this. Maybe I'm just being naive but I don't believe most women have that much sex with all these different (gorgeous) men!
However, during one of the episodes, all the interns are poking fun of Meredith and all her sexual liaisons when all she says is, "I have an active sex life." EEK. Doesn't that qualify as whorish?
Now, I'm not trying to make my show look bad, but being a female and having all these popular shows with powerful women, which is a good thing, degrade themselves by having sex a couple times an episode is pretty insulting.
Not to mention, she has been known as "the naughty mistress" and "the intern that has been sleeping with my husband." I don't know about anyone else's feelings on that, but I'd feel horrible and wouldn't want to show my face again! Isn't sex supposed to be private and meaningful? Atleast that's what we've been taught since we were young, but it's not something to exploit. And I guess, that part of the show really bothers me, once I actually start thinking about what I'm watching.
