(Newser) – When her husband got steamy text message from a drunk female colleague, Janine di Giovanni had had enough: "Go back to the male booty call, I say."

"I am too old-fashioned for this," di Giovanni writes, pinning the blame on Carla Bruni for her monogamy-is-boring comments. "And girls, let the men make the first move."
