I find it interesting that this comes so close on the heels of your mash note, which is another public/personal bridging. Are the two related?
Only in that, after the mash note, I felt a little uncomfortable talking about my physical body in a place where strangers would see it. Although a part of me was also thinking hopefully, "Maybe Mash Note Guy will see this and find it a turnoff."
Really, once I read the Ehrenreich article - and even more so, once I read the NYT article she linked to - it was inevitable that I would write about it. And it's impossible for me to have a non-personal reaction to a topic this close to me.
