Yes, they do have a right to complain, b/c it sucks. Besides, many women can't take hbc, many women can't afford hbc, and many women just don't feel like taking hbc.

That's because you were making jokes about women while they were making jokes about periods. There's a difference there. Your joke was hateful.

I hope you get some decent care. The good news is that pregnancy can alleviate endo. Hopefully you'll get knocked up with no problems, and then you'll do better.

If I get any crabbier, I'm going to have a stroke.

I think you might have endometriosis. You are describing exactly what I went through. Since you can't be on hbc, please talk to a doctor about whether you are a good candidate for surgery. If you are not planning to have kids, talk to them about laser ablation after the surgery.

We're sympathetic and all, but this is really not the place. Maybe you should pitch a ball themed Fuck You post to the editors and see if they pick it up. Otherwise, we prefer that off-topic conversations be held on jezebel.com/groupthink/forum

Yes, this.

Oh honey, you are fighting the good fight, but this guy is an asshole. Actually, keep up with the good responses in case a non-asshole who can be educated is reading.

"Unless you're a crazy person, who typically believe 'no, what I think is correct, and everybody else is wrong or crazy'."

"women are the undisputed gatekeepers of sex" = "the women I want to fuck won't let me stick my dick in them even though I deserve to b/c I am such a nice guy"

You don't have to make things up. Many women have pain free periods, and that is another part of the female experience. I do hate you forever, though.

This is why we need to talk openly. You are not the only one. It's normal, even though it sucks.

I'm there. I'm only 41, and I had to change care providers. My old one, in fact, my old two, were totally ok with me being on hbc. My new one didn't want to renew my prescription b/c I might get blood clots. I was like "might" get blood clots when I have no history or risk factors vs "will" need surgery for…

What an asshole! Although my first gyno was a woman who was almost as bad. I wish I had known more so that I could have demand hbc from the get go. I guess I naively thought that going to the doctor is how you get informed about your medical condition.

How nice for him. Who is going to make him less misogynistic and transphobic?

Is that what the pictures looked like? Christ, I thought they were making out or something. I don't know that I would be that happy with that picture if that were my guy, but that doesn't look like cheating to me. Seems like a small deal. Oh well, not my marriage.

She did answer your question. You're just a deliberately blind asshole.

Lemme guess ... response to LoneTruth?

What they did was criminal. And a good lesson for young people is that, when you sexually assault someone, you get a criminal record.
