Re: Angelina Jolie has done something extraordinary...
In the last few years, I had come to dislike her; I felt she had an increasingly contemptuous attitude. But I admit what she did is very humbling on the contrary. Very courageous gesture, not only to undergone the surgery but to come forward and talk about it. It seems like it’s largely opposed to the characters she’s embodied over and over on the screen, and probably opposed to her own intimate values. She’s showing a courage I suspect few people are capable of. And yes, I suspect it will help many women feel much freer to take such a decision themselves…

Re: Angelina Jolie has done something extraordinary...
Like said in the article, she's not the first
Unfortunately, she's the first one people talk about because she's more known. And that's a shame.
I won't put her at the rank of goddess or pioneer for something people did before.

Re: Angelina Jolie has done something extraordinary...
I guess you're right, Jericho: she probably didn't feel she had much of a choice. But as far as I'm concerned, even with 87% chances, I would not have had it done. I would have taken my chances. I suppose I'm a bit of a wild one, and I'll die somewhere sometimes in the gutter with my mouth open... lol I'm curious to know what proportion of women are doing it in the same circumstances. One thing is certain: by coming out like this, she will give most of them a lot to feed their reflections positively.

Re: Angelina Jolie has done something extraordinary...
I agree with you,i have an extensive history of cancer in my family but despite knowing thus i still pump my body full of hormones tempting a fate that is already probable.
i think it's always a difficult thing for a woman to do and even harder for one to talk about. Imagine if you guys had to ditch a testicle how many of y'all would publicly come forward with that information?
