Where did all the women go?
I have taken some time to think about this subject. I mean REALLY think about it. Yesterday, as many of you may have seen there was a hearing on contraceptives. The panel…..5 men! It seems odd to have men testifying about something that does not concern them. It would be equally as odd to have me testifying either for or against Viagra, since it has no bearing on my life what so ever! I will NEVER be with someone who uses it, and never use it myself….unless upon a dare to see if it will make my hair stand straight up (more so than it already does). So, why would I have any business putting my two cents in about it?! I digress….so lets add this to the long list of things I don’t understand…..yesterday I read testimony from women, I saw crazy quotes of the day on Rachel Maddow, and the picture alone is worth more than I can ever say on here. (I wish i had the links but my computer blocks anything and everything)

I suppose the question I have, is when did MY rights as a women become cause for discussion by men?! When were MY rights to vital AFFORDABLE health services up for debate?! It’s about more than birth control…..it’s about my rights as a human being! I know many women who take birth control for reasons other than their desire to whore around Pueblo (sorry, putting the perception out there and it makes me sick but it’s a real perception by some.) Women who NEED birth control to maintain symptoms from PMS, disease, acne, etc. When did our country regress 50 years?! Also, are my voting rights going to be up for debate next?! Maybe because I no longer have affordable access to birth control and my hormones are all outta wack maybe I cant make an educated decision about who our elected officials are….wait what?! This whole thing is just super sad, and people don’t even know! They aren’t outraged, they aren’t running to the streets to shout “I’m a woman and I’m fucking pissed!” We just go on living our lives while our rights are being debated in DC by MEN! Fucking men, men who will NEVER know what it feels like to have menstrual cramps, men who will never suffer from endometriosis, men who will never understand what it’s like to be US!

Where do we go from here? How about talk about it….have an educated discussion with people you love about womens health care! READ! Read about whats going on and stop turning a blind eye to the decisions people are making FOR YOU! Every woman has a right to affordable health care! And for the misters who testified yesterday I say “YOUR religion has no bearing on MY healthcare! Also, YOUR religious freedom ENDS where my vagina begins.”
