BG's CLARIFICATION CORNER

...on a couple letters from last week:

To Confused: I already asked if you trust your renewed boyfriend about the "safe" part. Even if you do (and if you don't, you've got a whole nother problem on your hands), there's one more thing you guys need to do: make a nice, romantic date for an anonymous HIV test. Just Because. Click here to find a site near you. If he digs in his heels, well, see "whole nother," above. And write me back.

Regarding my response to Bitten Smitten Kitten: You guys get that (1) women have Good For Now boys too, right? Who are also rarely upgraded. So if/when I talk about Good For Now girls, we are not necessarily talking about the "ho" half of the evil patriarchal Madonna/Ho complex (for further ranting, see my response to Hopeful and my column on double standards). No. We are talking about the "yo!" half of the fallilble lonely human Committment/Yo Baby! complex. Capito? And thus, you also get that (2) Breakup Girl thinks PEOPLE, not Women, should think twice about having sex on the first date, right? Okay, good.
