Just to nit pick, it's not really "someone else" paying for birth control. We all pay insurance premiums that cover a variety of medical costs. There are a myriad of reasons as to why, such as:

Having a baby is a life-threatening experience (as in, dying during delivery, not social or financial suicide).

You are referring to an origin story. A story to explain how humans came to the earth and why there are different genders. These stories exist across cultures and time and there are many versions. They are not fact.

Breasts and butts are not "sex organs". They are body parts that have been sexualized by society, just as, for example hair is sexualized in other societies. Telling women what they can and can't wear because it draws attention to themselves is weird and repressive.

Sorry, my reply was to the cool dude above you.

Yes! I also wondered if I was over-reacting, so I tried to picture what would be said if a woman's husband was killed. A woman's husband has died? A wife's husband has died? And then I decided it would be: "A wife has lost her husband." But this man and wife business has always bothered me.

States the original lecturer. I'm sorry women explaining things to you makes you feel lesser than. It's not the intent. Equality for all is the goal.

It's not in the article because no specific joke or genre of joke was referenced in the article. The population fits with the "oppressed" group in the original article.

Many articles on Jezebel state exactly the same thing you are saying about prison rape jokes. Just because the plight of prison inmates is not explicitly addressed in this article does not mean that they are implicitly stating that they are an acceptable group to mock. A prison population is an oppressed group or…

I think the issue is that people interefere in "God's Plan" (c) all the fucking time, but it's just not cool in this specific instance. We cure (we even ERADICATE) disease, we (try to) end war, we put murderers and pedophiles in prison but we can't let a woman decide to be pregnant or not? It's not ideologically…

To touch on the Silverman debacle: The Abrahamic religions picked up earlier religious and cultural ideas from societies (see the nebulous Mesopotamian era) that viewed women's role in society as primarily or even exclusively biological. I think this has resonated down through the ages and is seen today, prominently…

Captain Wayne Porter of the Navy and Colonel Mark Mykelby of the Marine Corps are calling the military bloated and full of waste (fiscal conservatives dislike this, no?).

Only if you show going out to lesbian nights (cherry, girl 4 girl, etc) and have the exact same crowd of extras intermingling in the same way every single time. Then it's believable!

Then why wouldn't all women have larger breasts?

That's not a sexual function (as in, no purpose in the act of procreation), that is a social sexualization of a body part.

You sound like an economics professor.

I'm quoting you on facebook.

That has been disproven and is in fact quite unusual.

Excellent point. The mental health system gutted under Reagan has never fully recovered, and is being decimated today. The next two decades will be extremely upsetting to people suffering mental health issues, and the people who will be affected by their issues everyday.
