If you're male, you should stop reading

HP#5 the movie: not as good as #4. Oh well.

(Guys, really, I mean it!)

My niece forwarded me a NYT editorial about a new birth control that actually stops menstruation, or rather decreases it to a tri-monthly occurrence. Now, having not had a period since it was abruptly stopped in the midst of my last one in 1997, I can honestly say that this, to me, sounds like a little version of heaven. However, it also worries me a bit. What are the long-term effects of this pill? And should I be worried?(I'd link, but the NYT being the NYT, you have to register and that is just so STOOPUD that you'll have to trust me on this. Or go read here. Or here. Or here.)And anyway, the editorial was all about how women aren't quite manly enough because "they bleed" and how stupidly retarded that is, and why do we need a Pill that does this when most women don't mind their period.... I challenge that writer on the last point only: Name me two women who don't mind their period, in the middle of it, or during the bloating time of the month!

OK.

Anyway, all this by way of pointing you towards a regular read of mine, who makes me cry with laughter some days (and other days want to punch someone in the teeth): Go read Happy Villain today. Funny (OMG), gross, heartening, and guaranteed to make men blanch in fear and mortification.

But, seriously, guys: don't. Just....don't.
