i'm krystal ball as we come on the air, we have the biggest cyber attack to ever breach the u.s. government. the feds say china is to blame. more than 4 million americans are checking bank accounts and credit card statements after confidential files held by the u.s. federal government were hacked, that includes 1.5 uniformed military personnel that the you had office of personnel management says those numbers are likely to grow. that agency is basically the federal government's hr department. they screen hire and approval security clearances for 90% of federal workers, officials believe identities of covert cia agents were no compromised. stolen info has not popped up for sale on the digital black market. some fear it could be used to blackmail or bribe americans but china, they say don't blame us. >> as we know, cyber attack is

very hard to trace back. it's anonymous and chinese government is against any form of cyber attack. we're very fluent on this. we hope the united states can discount this suspicion and stop groundless accusation. >> just this week the new york times nsa expanded their -- to include hackers. how the u.s. could and should retaliate to cyber attacks and also in question is the ability of washington to saveguard information on his own employees. alex seitz-wald has more on the white house response. the president has been talking about the idea of cyber attacks with the chinese for years now. what is the administration's line this afternoon?

>> reporter: not a whole lot of new information in the briefing just moments ago although he did refuse to point fingers at china and called on congress to pass more stringent cyber security regulations and tout d with the administration has done on its own. here's what he said. >> back in april, the president using his executive authority signed an executive order giving the treasury department additional authority to use economic sanctions to punish or hold accountable those who are either responsible for a cyber intrusion or are benefitting from one. this is an example of the president using his executive authority in a way that reflects a demonstrates his comprehension of how significant the cyber risk is right now. >> reporter: krystal, we did learn more about the time line of this attack. josh earnest saying it began in september and they discovered it

in april and confirmed it may and we're finding out about it now. they were in the system for several months. >> very troubling stuff, alex seitz-wald, thanks for that report. shawn henry, former assistant director at the fbi and president of crowd strike services. >> glad to be here. >> interestingly this time it wasn't ip that the chinese stole, they stole personnel information here. what do you expect they plan to do with this data? >> let me be clear about one thing first. state department just came out a little earlier they have not confirmed it's china. there's been speculation that it's china. it would not surprise me if it was china but there are a lot of adversearyies interested in that nchings. if it's china or intelligence service -- >> the fbi says it is likely china. >> there's some speculation, it will take a lot of time. >> a lot of ekz able to do it? >> no doubt.

the adversaries are many. the capabilities are high across this group. terrorist organizations, criminal organized crime groups and nation states all have that capability. if it's a foreign intelligence service they may be very well looking to identify people in the u.s. government to have access to certain sensitive areas. people they might actually try to kproe nies in the physical world, they might look to try to flip somebody or gain information on them to get them to provide information and access to highly classified u.s. operations. so it could be collecting dosiers on individuals to then turn around and use it against in a spy campaign. >> the timeline of this as alex-seitz wald is reporting, this happened in december. we didn't find out about it until months later in april. it makes you wonder what they are not capable of doing. our approach to this is it impossible to stop? and what does it say about us that we go first to china

immediately when this breaks? >> first of all, the access that the adversearyies is is high. they are in networks for weeks, months and years completely undetected. when you finally do an analysis of the network, you find them been there with unfuterred access to the data. you won't be able to prevent all of the incursions but what the government needs to do better put in place technology analysis and intelligence to detect attacks as they begin. if you can detect them early, you can stop and mitigate the consequences of the attack. if they are in there for mosz and years, bad things happen. >> it appears it has not compromised the identity of covert personnel. but even knowing that or if you believe that is true does that change the mission? >> i don't know they'll take those actions right away. as part of the investigation, you do a damage assessment and look to see where the adverse

varies access and what type of information were they able to exfill trait, they'll look for indicators to tell them the full scope and complexity of what occurred. >> the news of this massive hack is breaking at the same time new snowden documents are showing other parts of e-mail monitoring going on to deal with the hacking threat and a new op-ed, many talking about it we're witnessing the emergence of a post terror generation that rejects a world view defined by a singular tragedy for first time since the attacks of september 11th the outline of af politics that turns from reaction and fear in turn for resilience yens and reason. he's referring october tof course to the patriot act. do you think it's do to his leaks? >> there will be constant changes in this as people become more aware and familiar with

what the types of attacks are. the responses are going to change based on people's comfort level. security is always a balance between privacy and civil liberties and security. >> we rebalance it because of his leaks. >> did the u.s. government rebalance it? i think that the congress is being responsive to some of the concerns that the public has expressed. that's their job as representatives. as those changes are made in the security post tour if we see attacks, the pendulum will swing back the other way. constant reconfiguration. >> we always appreciate your expertise. >> thanks, glad to be here. >> we've got a jam packed show still ahead on this first friday of june ari knows it's true and so do you, one presidential hopeful is not feeling the summer love. find out who is blaming president obama for that cyber attack we just talked about and speaking of blame, new allegations against a man who was once third in line to the presidency, also it's the tgif

jobs report. what do we have to be thankful for? we'll ask jared and peter, wall street is not feeling so thankful at this hour. we'll get a check on the markets ahead and there's no horsing around guys belmont stakes this weekend. >> krystal -- >> american pharaoh wants to wear the triple crown. >> silly. >> all of this and more. >> it is june 5th, 2015. when i started at the shelter, no one wanted benny. so i adopted him. he's older so he needs my help all day. when my back pain flared up i was afraid i would have to give him away. i took tylenol at first but i had to take 6 pills to get through the day. then my friend said, "try aleve." just 2 pills, all day. and now, i'm back for my best bud! aleve. all day strong. and try aleve pm now with an easy open cap. it takes nature 90 days to grow the most golden oats. 7,200 hours to create the purest honey and, it only takes you 3 minutes to enjoy it. perhaps we made it too delicious.

the blame game over the massive cyber attack has begun.

lindsey graham wasted no time blaming president obama of the breach. warning of a cyber pearl harbor. joining us now is francis wilkin son, member of the bloomberg view i hadeditorial board. morning joe talked about an issue most important to them. let's take a look at that. >> the country cries out for somebody who can speak not only to the common man but for the common man and keep this country safe. >> we have almost unsolvable problems in front of us and isis is one. >> i think isil is humanity's problem, it's our problem to -- >> we don't know who they are or where they are, that scares me. >> with international help with the saudis and ran yans and israelis and with the turks and syrians, europeans and the russians. >> when you put together a very focused disciplined highly

leveraged intelligent machine and then you use your military special operators to go in and eliminate isis. >> there are hundreds perhaps thousands of people like those radicalized garland texas attackers in this country. >> we need to have a national conversation, do people feel comfortable with the u.s. government knowing so much about their lives. when you hold up this iphone, there are people who know exactly where you are. >> 10,000 troops left behind in iraq not because i want intervention but i want national security for us. >> unilateral mus car approach to the world. >> going into iraq was a decision that knowing what i know today, i would not have gone into iraq. i don't think anyone would have gone into iraq. >> they need us. this is our war. >> how do you get out? >> you don't get out. >> francis, a lot of takeaways, two a, aside from the economy,

national security will be the big debate for 2016. two, how all the map our candidates are with the approach to the middle east. >> i'm not so sure about that although we won't know what the case is on the republican side until we start seeing debates. you've got an awful lot of candidates sounding an unlawful lot a like. we need to do more be tougher and harder. that particular group an we haven't heard specifics on the trail because these are complex problems. >> as you alluded to there are a lot of people running on the right. i think it's up to 300 or 400, we represented that yesterday with the great '80s sitcom just the ten of us. >> throwback thursday here on "the cycle" politics meets late 80s comedy. >> if i can stay on the ball minute by minute might make the

hall of fame. what can i say -- >> i love that show. next week we have to use the great adult swim parodi too many cooks. >> too many cooks. >> too many cooks. >> too many cooks. >> too many cooks. ♪ too many cooks ♪ ♪ too many cooks ♪ ♪ too many cooks ♪ ♪ too many cooks ♪ >> if you haven't seen too many cooks, you must see it it's extraordinary. but the size of the field does shape the field in and of itself, you have so many folks who have little to no chance, they have to have verbal bombs to be heard and shout to be heard. that shapes what the front-runners must say and how we got into mitt romney say

self-deportation which was devastating to him in the general. >> the size of the field shapes it but it also is determined by who goes after whom and how they do it. for instance, you've got -- i would say at this point lindsey graham and marco rubio are trying to be the far right in terms of aggressiveness on foreign policy, most military militaristic militaristic, are they going to go after each other? rubio wouldn't do that because graham is not noticeable. is graham going to go after rand paul to climb over his back to get up in standings? we don't know how strategically they are going to apply that yet. >> i don't have an obscure pop cultural reference, i apologize in advance. >> make a rap reference. >> not today. but hillary clinton has been criticized widely on the right by the objective press and by plenty of liberals as well for

the campaign she's running but sometimes when these stories change, people forget to notice it. i think her campaign fundamentally changed yesterday, what i saw out on the trail was her doing the first truly presidential campaign level speech at a big event naming the republicans she opposes and picking an issue that is important, i think obviously politically to her turnout and important to people from a neutral or objective perspective, the voting rights and civil rights problems we're having in this nation. let me play that for your response. >> i call on republicans at all levels of government, all manner of ambition to stop fear mongering about a phantom epidemic of election fraud and start explaining why they are so scared of letting citizens have their say. >> scared of letting citizens have their say and talking about this sort of phantom menace and something many independent judges have noted, there is not an independent recurrence of

serious high level voting fraud swinging elections, indeed the notion of getting thousands of people to all go to the election in a coordinated fraud has never occurred in the united states. and yet in so many states we see restrict irveg and what some courts called racist attempts to crackdown on the right to vote. >> two reasons for that. we've got clinton yesterday making a real battle line. democrats have been a little weary of this because while everything you say is true voter i.d. for instance is still fairly popular. it's a popular issue and people thinks it makes sense you should have to show i.d. before you vote. they don't get into the detail underneath. >> and forget we have a system from our founders that never required that. >> that's right, i think she was very smart to focus on registration and make that a bigger issue, because that's really not something you can say, hey -- >> can't argue with that one. >> it's going to be hard to

argue with that. >> and it's a bold proposal suggesting ought mat inuniversal registration, something no state has which could be huge. we have chronically low voter turnout in the last midterm ee lerks. 36.4% voter turnout, the lowest since world war ii. we have some of the lowest voter turnout of any developed democracy in the world. how much from a policy perspective would these -- how much of a difference from policy perspective would these changes actually make? >> the right is we don't know. the wrong answer which i'll give you is probably not much. >> really? universal, every single person in the country? >> of course it takes an effort to vote. you have to be willing to do it. if you're automatically registered it's still going to take an effort to vote. some people are alienated in the political system and continue to be aillien ated from the preliminary system.

>> that's why we need mandatory voting. >> australia does it right. >> we need to redo our voting registration. >> that's for another segment. >> thanks for bringing us the bad news. >> i thought that's what you asked for. >> coming up we'll checkup on the markets, another solid jobs report has wall street in the red. krystal, why can't we all get along? >> i don't know, abby. imagine if razors could move up and down and all around. behold, new venus® swirl™. the only razor with five contour blades and a flexiball™. to contour to your tricky places, bends and all. new venus® swirl™

the unemployment rate went up a tad to 5.5%. that's because more people look for jobs in may. those are the numbers. analysis we now bring in the firm of bernstein and mauricei jared, pretty solid report here. >> let me hit you with three numbers right off the bat, 120, 220, 280, that's the number in hundreds of thousands of jobs that we've added on payrolls in each of the last three months. last month payroll up 280,000. if you take the average over the past three months we've added about 200,000 jobs per month. i hear the world solid a lot today. you used that word earlier. it's a right word. solid, reliable recovery in terms of the job market. this is important and notable given the first quarter gdp group was negative. the markets had a reaction that wasn't so up beat as you suggested and we see that sometimes when you get kind of good news for main street it's

considered to be less good news or bad news for wall street. >> imagine that. >> so the idea there is that -- >> the idea there is that the federal reserve is going to intervene more quickly than we thought to put on the gas because the job market is heating up. i would say fed reserve be patient, hold your fire. this recovery still isn't reaching enough people. >> what say you, peter? >> 280,000 is a great month and like to get a lot more than 206,000 over the last three months less than we averaged in 2014. the real question was this a dead cat balance or has the economy now gotten new steam again? going forward we're hopeful we're going to have a good second half. the doesn't sound like a stupendous number the growth rates have been closer to 2. how much of a difference half a percent make?

a lot. it creates the capacity to start raising wages, which is what we saw. now, today the immediate concern came up will the fed now raise rates in september. even maybe in july as opposed to waiting to later in the fall or adds christine la guard said next year the answer is one jobs report like this doesn't tell the story. we need to see what happens in july. i'm always amused how the market reacts, up and down and with so much concern and worry over one number. remember this number too will be revised. >> i don't know if you've been in your kids room where there's clothes everywhere and it's really messy, right. >> i have. >> you clean it up a little bit, it can look clean compared to how messy it was but still not a clean room. >> interesting. >> we want to put the unemployment chart on the screen which shows this improving unemployment picture. in a certain way if you look at that, whoa it's way better. room is cleaner. but is this really in your view

as an economist just a function of the fact that we're coming off such a terrible financial crisis and it isn't that good the room is still messy so to speak? >> the room is messier than it looks. that graphic -- >> we may have killed this metaphor about 30 seconds ago. >> ari killed it before. don't worry about that. >> i'll keep fooling around with it. i'll tell you why. the unemployment rate looks better than the actual job market is. it makes it look like the job market is tighter, like there's less slack out there than there is. we still have an elevated number of involuntary part-time workers, 6.5 million, we have a bunch of worker out of the labor force not counted in the unemployment rate. as the job market is heightened or room has become cleaner, we've pulled more people in and there's been a decline of over a million workers in the part-time

involuntary group and that's good. the job market is tightening. what you're not quite seeing enough is enough wage growth in people's pay packets that you would look at the federal reserve and say, we have inflationary pressures, better tap the brakes. you don't see this in room or economy, i'm not sure where we are in that. >> peter, let's talk about wages, they did take up 8 cents per hour and we've seen on the year 2.3% growth. are we at a tipping point with wages and going to start to see increasing wage growth? >> i think we are. one of the reasons is that the skillset that we need in the labor force is not in great abundance. a lot of the jobs that are being created certainly pay low wages and will always pay low wages, we're creating a lot of jobs in the service sector and manufacturing and business services that require very specialized knowledge. and businesses are having trouble finding those people. also, a lot of jobs that we take for granted as not requiring say

a ph.d. in economics, jobs working in an insurance company, financial service center do require people that are fairly intelligent that can solve problems. businesses are having more trouble finding caliber of workers they want to find those jobs. they are very different than the people that serve hamburgers i think we're to the point where the jobs that pay between 10 and $20 an hour will start to see a bump. the people at the very bottom it seems as though it's an infinite supply of people willing to serve hamburgers for whatever the local minimum wage may be. >> let's zone in on that issue. los angeles approved it they are going to $15 minimum wage in 2020. the movement for $15 minimum wage appears to be growing. jared, what would it do to america if the national minimum wage everywhere was $15? >> well you know i think the

thing about these local campaigns, i think there's a very positive attribute to this something that you have talked a lot about at your table there, which is that this is really grass roots democracy at work in the interest of a critical public -- low wage workers. i have a absolutely different view in the supply of low wage workers, this gives them bargaining power. if you look at the nation something like $12 by 2020 that is a plan introduced -- makes more sense -- where wages and prices are higher certainly -- it's going to make a real difference in the lives of low wage workers, mg of whom have family. >> take care. >> we want to take you to wilmington, delaware right now, the public wake for former

attorney general beau biden in the third hour. it will go on throughout the evening as thousands pour in to pay respects to the vice president's late son who won a year long battle with brain cancer at the age of 46. president obama will give the eulogy at beau's funeral tomorrow morning.

[ buzzing ] bundle bee coming! it was worth it! saving you a bundle when you bundle -- now, that's progressive. now to a still developing political story, former house speaker dennis hastert who preceded nancy pelosi and john boehner is facing allegations from a woman who claims her brother was abused by hastert while he was a high school wrestling coach. here she is speaking with abc news. >> i asked him, stevie when was your first same sex experience? he just looked at me and said it was with dennis hastert.

and i just -- i know i was stunned. i said why didn't you ever tell anybody, stevie? he was your teacher. he looked at me and said who is ever going to believe me. in this town who is ever going to believe me? >> and was it your sense this happened more than once? >> uh-huh. >> and nbc's john yang is in our chicago newsroom. john nbc news has new information appearing to corroborate this report. >> that's right, krystal, just this afternoon april friend of that woman's brother, the brother's name is steven reinholdt told nbc news the friend who does not want to be identified i was hanging out in steve's house in december of 1974, we went for a drive and he told me he was gay. he also said that his first

sexual encounter was with denny hastert. hastert is not being charged with any sexual misconduct. this abuse if it happened is alleged to have happened under state law at the time it is past the statute of limitations. but what he is being charged with in the federal indictment is violating banking laws withdrawing a huge -- large amounts of cash and then lying about it. he said he was keeping that money for himself. he told the fbi that he didn't trust the banking system. but according to the indictment he had agreed in 2010 with someone named individual a that they name as individual a who we don't know who that individual is it is not steven rin holdt, agreed to pay him $3.5 million as compensation for behavior

misbehavior toward individual a in the past and also to make sure that that misbehavior didn't become public. we have tried since the indictment to speak to denny hastert and we've had no response and tried to speak to his attorney since we learned that attorney's name and court papers. so far they are not making any comment. they are even -- confirming that they are representing hastert. hastert is going to have to say something in public next tuesday when he's arraigned and enters a plea here in federal court in chicago. >> john yang thank you so much for your reporting on this story. joining us now is caleb mason. help us understand here do these new allegations have any impact at all on the government case against hastert? >> no i don't think so. according to the indictment the

fbi was interested primarily in figuring out what these transactions were doing, what they were for. one of the purposes for contacting hastert that is set forth in the indictment was to determine if hastert was the victim of the crime such as an extortion attempt or kidnapping with somebody demanding ransom. and that's why they initially went to talk to him. what he is alleged to have done as your reporter said is to have structured his withdrawals from the bank to avoid the $10,000 reporting threshold and to have lied to the fbi about what he was doing with the money. and those are crimes chargeable and provable of such regardless of what he was doing with the money. it certainly is going to be relevant to proving these offenses if he was trying to cover up some underlying criminal activity from his past. >> caleb, i thnk a lot of people

understand why at the time this young boy didn't come out to talk to anybody. it's hard enough today for a victims especially at such a young age to come out and he didn't think anyone would believe him. let's say he had come out four years ago and did talk to authorities and did try talking to teachers at the school would he have been taken seriously? >> i think given the climate in this country in the early to mid-70s, with respect to sexual assaults by authority figures and with respect to sexual orientation generally, i think the climate was much less receptive to such allegations, keep in mind this is a period before the country had learned all that we now know about the long histories of sexual abuse with institutions such as the boyscouts or the various churches.

and i think that it's certainly credible that i person would not want to subject himself to the kind of public humiliation and disbelief and ridicule especially when bringing an allegation against somebody who was i think really a renowned local figure the way hastert was at that time. >> that's well put and important piece of this story and why these stories matter to so many around the nation. i want to play more from the abc news interview, including this sister here regarding the alleged misconduct speaking about how long it took and her interaction with the fbi. take a listen. >> then two weeks ago, after she says she had given up hope that her effort to expose hastert would ever succeed, the fbi showed up at her door to ask her about her big brother steve and tell her dennis hastert was about to be indicted on federal criminal charges. >> there are no words to describe what it felt like to you know it was like stevie

we've done it. it's going to happen. we got him. >> a knock at the door from the fbi. walk us through how the authorities do an investigation like this which you were telling us might start with a different theory and ended with what we're seeing in this indictment. >> that's right, my guess is that there were two separate dots here that ultimately got connected. you had the one dot, which was apparently a history of reports from the family of at least one alleged victim and potentially others that had been made to various law enforcement officials and probably known to at least one federal law enforcement agency probably the fbi. they would be the agency that would be responsible for looking into allegations against senior elected officials. and then you had the second dot, which was the report actually by mr. hastert's bank made to justice department and banking authorities regarding these large withdrawals. he was initially make cash

withdrawals of $50,000 or more. when the bank called him in to ask him about those withdrawals, he immediately stopped making such large withdrawals and began making withdrawals just under $10,000. so any time that happens, that is going to perk up the ears of law enforcement because that's what we call instruct touring, an attempt to evade the requirement so nobody knows what you're doing with the cash. at some point, somebody connected these two dots right, you had agtsz asking why is hastert doing this. and then you look a little bit deeper and find out, oh, my goodness, there are also allegations of old sexual abuse claims and maybe these two are connected and at some point someone made that connection. >> absolutely caleb, mason, thank you so much. appreciate it. up next "the cycle" turns to sports on a big weekend here in new york. i thought i'd have to give him away. i tried tylenol but it was 6 pills a day. with aleve it's just 2 pills, all day. now i'm back! aleve. all day strong.

pharaoh, it's from california, having based at churchill downs most recently and it only came here this week trying to get the most could vetted of sports challenges. >> indeed half of america will be watching rehema ellis, thanks for that report. look at this man. if you had to guess from looking at him, what would you guess he used to do for a living? was he a mid level irs agent? tenured professor in the latin department or powerful man in major league baseball over two decades. >> something tells me it was the last one. >> it was bud selig, in some minds his best commissioner then his tenure remains quite

controversial, tolet's welcome john, the author of "the game" a. a fascinating book about baseball's power brokers. most of the book deals with the structure of bud selig's tenure. he raised revenue for owners significantly but oversaw the steroid scandal which was a massive embarrassment and problem for baseball. so was he good for baseball bad for baseball or little of both? >> a lot of both. >> a lot of both. >> 20 years. i think he's -- he belongs in the hall of fame. he did something that was next to impossible which was take 30 strong-willed centers of the universe and get them to work in the same direction, the owners of the game and unlock baseball's economic potential. enlivened the game and the game prosperitied from $1 billion business to $9 billion business. steroids is another story.

you can complain about people missing it but we all enjoyed baseball when it was happening but how it was handled, unwilling to take any responsibility and blaming it all on the all on the players and the players union and scapegoating them and spending tens of millions of dollars doing it i think is a big negative. and still hurts the game. >> let's talk about the players union, and in particular the longtime, very powerful head of the players union, don fear. he was in some ways the counterbalance to selig. how did they eventually come to a truce after that labor war? >> great question. what you really have in this book is three people george steinbrenner being the third, who want their vision of how this huge entertainment business and cultural force is going to be run. and in a time when unions were being ground out, he protected the interest of his players. i think most people misunderstood what his job was. his job was not to do what's

best for baseball. his job was to do the best for his constituency. and he did a great job. the only time he fell was when the u.s. government decided it was going to exploit steroids for political gain. >> and what was george steinbrenner's vision then? >> george steinbrenner's vision was first and foremost and only the yankees. he knew what he had. he knew it was an incredible property. he knew the brand. and he hired the right people to maximize the potential of that. i think baseball was really lucky that that all came together in '95, '96, '97 and you have a dynastic team. people that felt good about.

>> so george w. bush was owner of the texas rangers. it was a dream of his to become commissioner. and selig promised him he'd help him get there. did not follow through on that promise. it's fascinating to think how things might have been different. >>s if nating is one word for that. >> and it's the hardest thing to get people to wrap their head around, that we wouldn't have had george bush as president. i mean he very much wanted to be the commissioner. >> until you start talking about how he made the all-star game matter to the world series. he's dead to me in my book. thank you so much. good luck with the book, sir. stick with us through the break sir. when krystal imagine what is a female viagra ad might look like. don't miss it. >> ryan gosling. >> i'm picturing a lot of waterfalls. >> i think it should look like they would want viagra. they would want some action.

are you a woman? >> um yes. >> are you in a stable and committed relationship? >> yes, why? >> have you experienced a decrease in sexual desire? >> well i mean i guess it's not quite the same as when we were honeymooners, but that was a long time ago. we've got kids now. that's normal right? >> are you distressed by this decrease in desire? >> well i wasn't before, but now -- >> you may be suffering from hyposexual desire disorder. >> oh, my goodness i have a disorder? there's something wrong with me.

>> fortunately, the fda just approved flabancerin. side effects may include -- >> yeah whatever, just give me the meds doc. thank god it's all going to be okay. so yesterday, after previously rejecting it twice, an fda advisory panel backed a new drug, which is being called viagra for women. advocates packed the advisory committee women, including women who testified to its power to improve their marriages and quality of life. but as with any drug it is important to read the fine print, starting with those grandsons roots advocates who effectively pressured the fda panel to change its mind. according to "the new york times," the participants in that campaign had been brought together by a consultant to sprout pharmaceuticals, the developer. and what about the incredible life-changing benefits of this new drug? don't get your hopes too high in that department either. the clinical trials found only a modest increase for women over those just taking a sugar pill. women on the drug only had one more "sexually satisfying

experience per month than those on the placebo." and there's the side effects which are inevitable any time you're messing with the brain's chemistry. about 10% of the women dropped out due to side effects, prompting one doctor to call the drug a mediocre aphrodisiac with scary side effects. obviously, women deserve a satisfying sexual life and there is nothing wrong with making this a priority. but it makes me nervous when we start defining what exactly is normal in terms of female sexual desire. after all, normal varies by woman, partner, and whether or not your spouse did the dishes this morning. one report found that as many as 1/3 of adult u.s. women may have hypoactive sexual desire disorder which makes this condition seem less like a disorder and more like the norm. do women who feel distressed really have a problem? are they being made to feel inadequate by a society obsessed with telling women how they

should look feel, and behave? as one supporter of these drugs told marie claire magazine, she struggles with the pressure to "be martha stewart in the kitchen and pamela anderson in the bedroom." so it looks like we'll have that competing for time with all the viagra and cialis ads. maybe next we can get fda approval on a drug to make women feel less bad about themselves when they look at fashion magazines, because it sure seems like it's the women who have the problem and need fixing. all right, that does it for "the cycle."
