<![CDATA[ Dudes Frightened Of Duplicitious, Kid-Coveting Women Are Opting For Vasectomies ]]> Women! We're all just trying to trick clueless men into "accidentally" impregnating us so that we can steal their money. Well at least that's what the dudes interviewed for this Details article about the trend of young men getting vasectomies think. Writer Richard Morgan calls babies conceived by duplicitous females "oopses," using Bridget Moynahan as an example of a celebrity "oops." Morgan found one Tim Vass, "a 34-year-old technical writer in Florida, [who] got snipped in May 2007 after a half-dozen pregnancy scares, including what he says were two attempted oopsings. Both of the latter were one-night stands; he says one woman admitted she didn't know who the father was and the other demanded a DNA test that proved her wrong."

Maybe, just maybe, had Mr. Vass worn a condom, these "oopsings" wouldn't happen with such frequency. But for these snip-happy dudes, asking them to use condoms is just preventing the increased pleasure they think they deserve. Vass says his post-vasectomy, condom-free banging is "like eating junk food and knowing you're not going to get fat."

Um, except junk food doesn't ever give you STDs. The vasectomy enthusiasts, according to Morgan, are also "spurred by a philosophical argument: Why should women be in control of when—and if—they have children?" Perhaps because we're the ones who carry the children around for nine months and expel them out our vaginas? But you know, if these guys are just going to have sex without condoms, it's probably best that they have to deal with a painful and possibly irreversible procedure to do so. And the guys interviewed for this piece don't seem to be getting vasectomies because they never want children: they're getting them solely to absolve themselves of responsibility. I guess what's so troubling about the piece is the way these men talk about the women they fuck. There's an underlying current of hatred and of distrust. Again: maybe it's best that these guys don't reproduce in the first place.

<![CDATA[ Is There Anything More Painful Than Watching A Dude "Mancrush" On Another Dude? ]]> Next month's Vanity Fair's examines the horror wreaked by the "man crush" upon our civilization in recent years: apparently Karl Rove formed a Man Crush on George W. Bush, who in turn nursed a mutual man crush on Tony Blair. Less disastrously, Nicolson Baker had a hardon for Updike. Every male member of the Washington press corps has crushed on John McCain just like every vaguely nebbishy college dude crushes on Obama and every pro-capitalist business journalist crushes on Jack Welch. (Oh yeah, and every guy also crushes on Tom Brady.) My friend Steve forms man crushes so frequently he has a standard line for when he's telling me about a new one: "And then we split a Luna bar." Which made me wonder: Women, you know, get girlcrushes all the time and it's no deal. So what is it about the man crush that is so excruciating to watch? I figured it out.

Men always form crushes on other men who are like, the exact opposite of them. (If they're sufficiently alike and the feelings are mutual, they immediately enter into that sort of buddy matrimony wherein the "old married couple" quality of the union obscures the newness of the bond, since dudes sort of instinctively hate the idea of making new friends.) (Like have you ever noticed that, even if two dude friends met last year, they will talk about high school and old hardcore shows as if they attended them together?) Anyway, whereas girls — is this egotistical of us? — tend for form crushes on girls whose, you know, outfits and pop cultural touchstones and pastimes mirror our own, dudes only seem to form man crushes on the sorts of men — torture victims, ladykillers, capitalists, foreigners — who represent a mysterious Other Path, so any girls present are subjected to first watching a dude totally question every facet of his identity, then possibly undergo a mini existential crisis under the influence of infatuation, then gradually become disenchanted as breaks free of both states until he finally grasps that this whole thing has publicly sunk him to the depths of indignity because it turns out his Crush is actually, like, George W. Bush. And that any man who crushes on George W. Bush must hate himself. Yeah, so I guess it's sort of like what happens to us. Anyway.

Two years later I had sex with her again just to show her the first performance was a fluke and I'd gotten better." • TMZ is making fun of Tom Brady for being whipped by Gisele Bundchen.
