    Typical

    "Really. I mean, if she's going to keep on like this -- and she shows no sign of stopping soon -- then she has to start putting condoms on the men she has sex with. Otherwise she's a public health risk."

    Christ. It would be one thing to say that she should not have irresponsibly random sex or else she's a health-hazard. To that end so are the men having sex with her. It is not incumbent upon a woman to make sure someone else's organ is protected if that someone else is in charge of the organ. You know, unless we're talking about babies and diapers.

    I bet it would also ring true in Cary's ears that unless a woman is constantly saying no to sexual advances by men, then men can rightfully assume she's fair game. The irresponsibility of this woman's actions is not strictly hers, 'cause I bet she's not holding a gun to the heads of those she's screwing, so there is still a choice to be made by someone else.
