Healthy Man Column Isn’t Woman’s Work

Rarely do I venture into the Health section, but on Oct. 26 something caught my eye: “Fatherhood and the Brief Matter of Boxers.” The first thing I noticed when I found the article was that the author (Kristl Buluran) is a woman. I firmly believe that in relation to fertility, the debate between boxers and briefs is a man’s subject--and should be discussed for and by men. The bottom line: The Healthy Man column should be written by a man (healthy or not). That’s not to say that I don’t appreciate a woman’s input on which she prefers, because I do; that is why after reading Kristl’s opinion that “boxers just look better” and are sexier, I went out and burned my only pair.
