From The Cruel Irony of Trying to be Feminine Forever
A piece by NBC News, 1/2/2007, Robert Bazell
‘She’s driving me nuts’
To help sell the idea of HRT, Wilson discussed his own views of sexuality. For a husband, having an affair is perfectly normal, he asserted, “a fact which most non-European civilizations have always calmly and openly recognized. A great deal of human misery stems from the failure of our culture to do likewise.”
But wait! Should a man worry that his wife of a certain age sexually recharged with HRT might go astray? Wilson assures us that “on the contrary, an estrogen-rich woman capable of being physically and emotionally fulfilled by her husband … is least likely to go afield in search of casual encounters.”
The most amusing section of the book describes a visit to Wilson’s office from “a prominent member of the Brooklyn underworld.” The mobster is sick himself, but he has come for the doctor’s help for his wife.
“She’s driving me nuts,” the tough guy says. “She won’t fix meals. She lets me get no sleep. She picks on me all the time.”
The visitor then displays a .32 automatic and tells Wilson, “If you don’t cure her, I’ll kill her.”
