Just to be clear, Velveeta does NOT hate men. There are times when men are handy, like for killing bugs and opening jars. And men are often amusing, with their over confidence in getting places without the need of directions and the way they can brag about writing in the snow with their pee. Oh, also, they rule the world.
But there comes a point in time that women need to step up and, in a loving and kind manner, ask the question:
What the fuck, seriously?
So women must be scrutinized on our reproductive needs at every corner of the way. And, be called "sluts" if we want to prevent a life changing pregnancy, but guys get penis pumps? What?
And don't even get me started on the testosterone gel that they can use to give themselves a boost, while polluting our water systems with it. Don't blame me when baby girls come out of the womb with facial hair and large biceps.
But this pump thing. Seriously? According to
this report:
WASHINGTON A new report questions why the U.S. government is paying so much for penis pumps.
Penis pumps cost the U.S. Medicare program $172 million between 2006 and 2011, about twice as much as the consumer would have paid at the retail level, according to a government watchdog's report released on Monday.
The report by the inspector general for the Department of Health and Human Services said Medicare, the government health insurance system for seniors, paid nearly 474,000 claims for vacuum erection systems (VES), totaling about $172.4 million from 2006 to 2011. Yearly claims for the devices nearly doubled from $20.6 million in 2006 to $38.6 million in 2011.
Listen, I'm not saying that Medicare patients don't deserve the necessity of an occasional, um device. But $172 MILLION worth?
So, can we please now make it official. Rush and Mike "Uncle Sugar" Huckabee and all those who talk too long and too loud, need to shut the fuck up about how much "we" or the "gov'ment" spends on "sluts" that need birth control. Otherwise, I will apply for a government subsidized penis pump and shove it down their fat throats.
Let's just all agree that there comes an age when God has decided that both sexes should not be procreating any longer, unless you're a freak like Nancy Grace, and leave it at that. Do we really need all these Viagra and Testosterone meds and Pumps? Only if you have a medical condition. And I'm betting that's actually a lot rarer than we're being led to believe. Probably rarer than late term abortions.
Honestly, the men that are most repugnant about this are the same ones that just
happen to be republican. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Republicans have their agenda: regulate women's bodies and don't regulate banks, polluters and big corps. Meanwhile, complain that feminism is making you less "manly" and too soft.
Okay then....
I'll go make you a sandwich, you wait for it right there. Back soon, I promise!
