To most government officials, feminine hygiene products are a luxury item. But, every day, women are being poisoned by their own bodies because they lack access to even the most essential health products.
Meanwhile, most men have no problem getting covered for pills that will help them get a boner.
Although still greatly outnumbered and underpaid compared to their male counterparts, women have made so much progress. Yet inequality still lies in the most basic areas of human well-being. Women are still facing unequal treatment when it comes to health care and are paying out of pocket for necessary female health products, particularly tampons and pads.
“Does PPH do prostate exams?”
Yes, many PP centers offer full men’s health services, too.
I’m not quite old enough but I was raised by two women who were - no tampons, no pads. Just rags that had to be washed out every month.
Maestro, if you please, Rag Mama Rag
This socialist idiot wants someone to pay for her tampons. She must have been separated from Sandra Fluke at birth.
That is a most unfortunate title...
Great title!
Since this issue may or may not impact those who identify as women, no pattern of discrimination can be established. Therefore, there is not an issue to be addressed.
Wow! The author and the topic was destroyed in the now closed comment section. Maybe there is hope after all...
In the eye of God, they are of "equal worth or value" (not referring to monetary value alone), but emotional, social, spiritual and physical/biological (the latter because you can't naturally reproduce unless both are involved). Yes, they are definitely "complimentary", as it was intended to be.
That said, on this material plane, if I were to be paid less than a male for a job I perform, and meet the same requirements & standards, and with the same qualifications, I'd be offended. Not for 'gender-inequality', but for not recognizing the same effort and value I add.
Those who want others to pay for their Viagra refer to their need for it as a “medical condition”.
This incompetent writer is what today’s colleges are producing.
For a normal functioning male achieving an erection is also normal. For a male to be unable to achieve one is considered a medical condition. So insurers traditionally paid for claims for corrections for erectile dysfunction. To pay for tampons or pads - you could make an equivalent argument that insurers should pay for toilet paper.
About $300 for 15 blue pills.
To boldly function where no man has functioned before.
Not really as men get older—or there wouldn’t be such a huge market for the stuff.
Too funny :)
I didn’t say anything about as men and aging. There are war vets that return from Iraq and part of PTSD can also include erectile dysfunction. I don’t discount that people use it and possibly don’t need it but for coverage it had to have a diagnosis from a recognized medical provider. There are psychological reasons and physical reasons for erectile dysfunction. But for women (or this idiotic writer) to want someone else to pay for their “protection” is just more societal idiocy. That won’t eradicate gender differences. These people are self-hating idiots.
