I am truly sorry about your embarrassment, but that more a statement about your critical thinking skills than Rush's performance.
While Moira Lasch never said a word about her own sex life, is there any doubt in your mind about her suppositions and experiences after she tried to castigate William Kennedy Smith at the idea he could have sex twice in one night?
The fact is if you need a thousand dollars a year for birth control, you're talking about condoms, not the pill. And if you are talking about that many condoms, you're talking about alot of sex with men you don't trust to keep you free of disease, not men you don't want to make you pregnant.
So what kind of woman would make statements that presuppose such assumptions?
She wasn’t talking about condoms. Condoms aren’t prescribed and you don’t have to go to the pharmacy counter to get them. They aren’t used to treat polycystic ovarian syndrome and they aren’t used to treat endometreosis.
What she was doing was LYING about the true cost of birth control pills. She wanted people to think it was a true hardship when in fact they are very inexpensive.
My embarrassment was not about my criticial thinking skills however it was my own fault. I should have(and usually do) check with the source. It didn’t take long for me to do that.
