I can't say that I know much about prescription medication, however, I do know that my doctor, over the years, has calculated my weight, hormonal levels, age, the fact that I have genetically sky high cholesterol and my lifestyle into bc recommendations. Which is why over decades of married life I've had three…

Actually, this negatively impacts men, as well. Every household involving a couple will be faced with higher household costs, even though her paycheck is helping to pay for something they're not getting as a couple.

And if a woman's doctor recommends a bc not one of the 16?* An employer gets to dictate that a legal prescription won't be covered under a policy that the employee is paying for as part of their compensation package? And, no, Hobby Lobby would not be "paying for this." Coverage would be between the insurance company…

Yeah, the guy is sarcastically supporting Hobby Lobby, but gets 20 stars for it. Reading comprehension. It's a skill not shared by all, apparently.

Thank you. The guy is clearly trolling and has gotten 20 stars so far.

This is what I tell the men I know:

I'd never heard that term before this story came up. And I'm a working my ass off to make ends meet, white middle aged lady.

Yup. It ain't rocket science.

Especially after that horrible Playboy Gary Oldman interview came out. Can't take two of my favorite British actors turning out to be shitbags.

I agree with Lisa Wade's take on Miley Cyrus - that she is neither naive waif, nor empowered feminist, but a young woman who is looking out for her own personal aims (to the overall detriment of women as a group) by making a patriarchal bargain.

No doubt.

"That's like the bare minimum of what not to do to keep a job."

I agree with you, however, I would worry too much that it was some sort of new police sting.

I would totally have called the cops in case it was some new way the police use random objects to entice random citizens to break the law so they can arrest them for it. :/

:D ! I would follow you forever. I love those.

Ha, well, I actually like them. I have a lot of pet rescuers, farmers, environmentalists and reproductive rights advocates in my feed. I generally get a lot of good info from them. I also like cat videos and dog pictures (which I know lots of people dislike).

Inertia? We all tend to keep moving in the same direction we start in. But, I agree with you completely.

Are you normally a decent person who is having a bad weekend or are you always such an asshole?

Ok, you know, what? Fuck off.

Beats me, but when someone important to our organization sends me a friend request, you'd better believe I accept it.
