The American Spectator

Anonymous also successfully argues that, where tuberculosis cases bring strong government control efforts, AIDS sufferers remain anonymous and their partners aren’t even always notified. But again, it’s not really a practicing psychiatrist’s point to make.

Finally, Anonymous makes a somewhat alarmist case against the sexually transmitted virus HPV. She not only points out it can cause cervical cancer but adds women should rely on premarital abstinence, not the new vaccine. (The latter is “good news” but “medical technology for a quick fix.” Apparently that’s bad.)

On the whole Unprotected is a worthwhile read, a breath of fresh air in a cloudy field. The writing is conversational and easy to understand — sometimes to a fault, what with the exclamation points and occasional bald assertions of opinion. And every young adult should hear what Anonymous has to say about oxytocin and post-abortion stress.
