Well ladies, insurance FINALLY has to pay for our birth control - no copays - yay! Now, for me, it's not that big of a deal.....$10 a month is what I pay so there's another lunch I can have I guess....saving every little bit helps though....I know plenty of women who pay $20, $30, and even $50 a month for their contraceptives.....excuse me? baking powder? (Waynes World quote)....that's $600 a year......that's a trip to Vegas!!!! Come on now! I mean sure, in the grand scheme of it all, you'd pay, oh I don't know, probably ten times that much per year if you had a baby so I guess it's not horrible but still.......
Now, on to the men......I'm sorry, you don't want to wear a condom because it "feels different?" You think I should buy the condoms? (for the record - this is hypothetical or used from previous conversations - no man has ever asked me to provide condoms and in case you missed it, I'm single and celibate until further notice....probably forever but whatever....) You don't have any disease? So you've been to the doctor recently and been tested? Because Ladies and Gentlemen....in case you didn't know....most men are simply carriers of STD's and don't have symptoms.....and the ones that they do get symptoms with (is Chlamydia, Syphilis), are curable. They one's they don't, HPV for example, are with you for a lifetime. I mean this isn't even about the baby because that's what the birth control is for...I'd rather have a baby then an incurable disease....but whatever, be stupid with your lives, not my problem.
Most men don't even get annual check ups because they don't have to buy birth control so they don't have to go for that yearly joy - you know...the one where you go, get undressed, lay on your back with your feet up in the air (stirrups) and spread 'em.....then have a plastic gun inserted into your special place where they dig around with a cotton swab to see if you got some disease that the man who said he didn't have anything and didn't wear a condom gave you....but not even just any old STD....also, let's search for CANCER!!! Really?!?!? This is what we go through men......what the hell do you go through? Because when my little joyous doctors visit is over, I'd personally like you to go through my right hook. I'm sorry, you don't want the doctor to take a swab from your special place? We push children out ours and bleed from it every month but you can't be man enough to wear protection and be tested....if for no other reason....do it because you "love" the woman you're with. Wow.....
Now, I know you're probably thinking, "Chiny, if you don't have a boyfriend and aren't having sex, why are you on birth control and why do you care so much?" First of all, I'm on birth control to help with that lovely time of month when we all are so pleasant....but also, should I choose to partake in any extra-curricular activities, I will be protected. With that said, I guess I should just say once again that I am in fact celibate BY CHOICE, despite what some may think, and have chosen this route because of my growing relationship with God and frankly the fact that I'm just not a girl who sleeps around (despite the impression you may get from my FB posts - those are meant for a laugh people! Get a sense of humor!). I'll cross that bridge if God ever blesses me with a man again, but I'm in no hurry. I care so much because I just do. I work in healthcare and all I've ever wanted to do was help people and Oklahoma is one of the most sexually unhealthy states in the US because of pregnancies, abortions, and STD's.....just makes me sad when most of it could be prevented.
I just thought this was hilarious though! FAIL!
