Alert reader Gary brings to my attention that perhaps Schwarzbaum's male friends aren't simply shaved babboons waiting to see the pretty explosions and people being beaten. Perhaps they're a different kettle of fish altogether.

Aha. I think I know what kind of male friends she has now. LRLO regrets the error.
