I know you're on strike, but perhaps you could consider this.

Dear Writers,

I'm tired of the way you're shaping lead female roles on television. It's what made me nearly stop watching Sex and the City (even on DVD) and what irritated me most about the latest episode of Grey's Anatomy. I need a woman on TV to be strong enough to go through hell and not be too emotionally wounded to have a happy, healthy, strong relationship. I'm tired of Carrie Bradshaws and Meredith Greys who are too scarred, weak, and scared to actually love the Mr. Bigs and McDreamys in their lives.

I need more Dr. Baileys on TV. And I need the Dr. Baileys on TV to not suffer failing marriages because of their successful careers.

Okay? Okay.

Rach

Hear, hear, Rachel! I agree. I especially like the 'xoxo' at the end of your entry! :)
