There seems to be those who still doubt that there is a “war on women” in this country, even in the midst of the Republican’s attempt to defund Planned Parenthood. I have discussed and subsequently argued with friends who don’t believe sexism exists and don’t think they should have to pay for women’s health care. Let me first note the irony in how the first statement is contradicted by the second. I already addressed the second issue in a previous post specific to Planned Parenthood.
Now let me offer you some anecdotal evidence about the first statement. Sexism exists. It’s even institutionalized…which is likely a direct result of lobbyists for insurance companies and the effect they have on legislation politicians attempt to pass.
Fair warning: the following contains mentions of “lady parts” and women’s health. If you can’t handle that…you’re too much of a sissy to be on this blog and especially not this post.
