No offense taken at all. I was just making he point that my wife is so far grounded in reality that she makes the much lauded farce of AJ and her merry band of sycophants struggle to collectively match the brain power of an amoeba.
Maybe you missed the point that celebrities and what they do matter not at all to me and to those who they do, they just might be a redneck. The implication was in the feign of a new line for a Jeff Foxworthy routine.
I have found the best way to get under a liberal’s or pointy headed intellectual’s skin is to make fun of then and just laugh in their face without even trying to discuss it with them. They are incapable of even wanting to learn the truth much less capable of recognizing it so why bother? Just relegate them to their own reality demise and be glad that you didn’t get any on you.
Guys, this is not a “Hollywood weirdo” kind of thing. Long before AJ, many other women already were making the same decision - prophylactic surgery - based on genetic testing. AJ was not the first. You only heard about it for the first time because she’s so famous.
Furthermore, believe me, oncologists recommend (even push) genetic testing on women with family history, and then they recommend prophylactic surgery to BRCA-positive patients. They’ve been recommending it for years. I’d even say that most oncologists push that surgery.
Of course, the patient can refuse to have it done. It’s a personal decision, and it’s not for everyone. It’s a brutal decision not taken lightly. But it’s a perfectly rational and intelligent decision. To say otherwise is just as wrong as saying that women who don’t make the same choice are being irrational.
For the record, I’m not a big fan of AJ. Then again, I’m even less of a fan of guys who talk as if they know something about what women should do about breast cancer. Notice we’re never on prostate cancer threads talking about what men should or shouldn’t do. LOL. I’m just sayin’.
