Our heroine, who had a hysterectomy due to cervical cancer, is doing everything she can to stay attractive for her husband, who’s mentioned wanting more children. At a charity function cocktail party, a conversation about older men and younger women led to her husband making an insensitive comment about fertility. Our protagonist clapped back with a remark about older women preferring younger men because they’re more virile and have more stamina than men in their 40s who need Viagra (like her husband). He felt emasculated, but was she justified in her response? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
