This makes me so mad, I can hardly think straight.
Can you say “sexist?”
This is nothing but outright discrimination against women. Perhaps they should deny their husbands insurance unless they get a vasectomy, since these women are only worth insuring unless they are sterilized. Just like the drug company is only targeting Gardasil to adolescent girls when they get HPV by having SEX which usually involves SOMEONE ELSE, and more dominantly, a BOY.
OR just like all the main symptoms for heart disease we are told to look for are predominately found in men, while the symptoms women face are hardly understood or studied as much.
Or just like how women used to be diagnosed with female hysteria and subject to ridiculous, harmful, and demeaning treatments because some “had a tendency to cause trouble.”
I don’t know, or just like how women are told if they nurse their babies longer than six months they’re abusing their children.
Or how stay-at-home moms are pitted against working moms as if we’re all a different breed from each other.
Or, you know, how the rumors about the casts from Sex and the City or Desperate Housewives are always cat-fighting, but no one starts rumors about the Sopranos, because you know, women just cat-fight and men are rational.
I’m effing sick and tired of the establishment discriminating against us just for being women.
How ’bout that pay raise now?
