David Shields's The Trouble with Men: Reflections on Sex, Love, Marriage, Porn, and Power is an immersion into the perils, limits, and possibilities of human intimacy. All at once a love letter to his wife, a nervy reckoning with his own fallibility, a meditation on the impact of porn on American culture, and an attempt to understand marriage (one marriage, the idea of marriage, all marriages), The Trouble with Men is exquisitely balanced between the personal and the anthropological, nakedness and restraint. While unashamedly intellectual, it's also irresistibly readable and extremely moving. Over five increasingly intimate chapters, Shields probes the contours of his own psyche and marriage, marshalling a chorus of other voices that leaven, deepen, and universalize his experience; his goal is nothing less than a deconstruction of eros and conventional masculinity. Masterfully woven throughout is an unmistakable and surprisingly tender cri de coeur to his wife. The risk and vulnerability on display are in the service of radical candor, acerbic wit, real emotion, and profound insight-exactly what we've come to expect from Shields, who, in an open invitation to the reader, leaves everything on the page.

Good everyday earning

Super cute earrings. They are my go to earrings. I wear them everyday. Easy on and off. Not post earrings, so no looking for the backs that got dropped.

Tarnish quickly
Color: Gold Triple Huggie, Color: Gold Triple Huggie
Cute just wish they were better quality, they tarnished both on the part inside my ear and not as visibly but also on the outside, def not as shiny. I’ve had them for almost 2 months or so and the inside of my ear is turning green/ black. Like I need to use an alcohol wipe and qtip to clean the ear hole. Ive worn them almost always but I don’t wear them when I wash my hair. I wear them during my only body showers and also have in gym so maybe steam or sweat has added to moisture that tarnished it but I’m disappointed at how quick they tarnished.

Delicately Sophisticated
Color: Gold Triple Huggie
I really love these earrings! They dress up or go with jeans. They are lightweight and you cannot feel them on. Gold plated means no ear irritation. They fit perfectly and clasp easily.
