This sounds like - "I handled it and came out better - so it would be a good thing if the same thing happened to people like you too." "it can also figuratively soften a man by forcing him to rethink his allegiance to a cruel and unattainable standard." I know a beautiful, stunning woman who, because of medical problems lost all her hair. She had beautiful hair, and was quite proud of it. She was deeply troubled when she lost it all. So would you write this line, instead of the line you wrote: From a women’s studies perspective, hair loss leaves women feeling vulnerable and inadequate, and that’s a good thing. ? Hugo,

I've had a hell of a lot of sex in my day, and you know, I am cheerfully in the category of those who are grateful for his OWN bouts of ED. I write what I know well, at least here; my occasional experiences with erectile dysfunction have made me, on balance, both a better lover and a better man. Chief, I’m a man.
