Women's Health Experts Speak Out
100% of male experts agree: nobody knows more about women's issues like birth control than late-middle-aged men and the Republican party is well aware.

Show AllIt's funny because it's true!
I know it's true, because I've read comments by some of these guys in the comments at CD articles that advocate reproductive rights for women, and/or deplore the authoritarian legislative movement to eliminate, or at least minimize, them.

Limbaugh:
"Can you imagine if you were her parents how proud...you would be?" he said. "Your daughter ... testifies she's having so much sex she can't afford her own birth control pills and she wants President Obama to provide them, or the Pope."
He continued:
"What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex -- what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex."

Limbaugh serves Progressives by revealing to all the darkness on the Right "writ large" - including their deep misogyny.
My question:
What is the mind-set of the those who listen so raptly and respond as if they are being fed the nectar of the gods?
Who discovered and first developed birth control pills? Men did. Who came up with the drug Herceptin to fight breast cancer? Men did.
Who have been among the most distinguished gynecologists in modern history? Men like Ernst Ludwig Alfred Hegar, Ralph Pomeroy, Hermann Pfannenstiel, and Alan Guttmacher.
So maybe men are not quite so unknowledgeable about women's health issues as certain feminists would have us believe.
In Dr. Robert Mendelson's book "Mal(e) Practice," he points out that the Father of Gynecology was a despicable man, albeit admired by his male clone medical peers, because he practiced on a Black slave/woman. His surgical techniques were pracdticed (or performed) without the benefit of any anesthesia! The idea was to keep the woman breeding.
Because the 2nd class status of women has been so long engrained into every artery of culture (starting with the mores established, and thus normalized through patriarchal religions), the vast majority of men don't notice their existence at all.
You, PLA, know little of what-of you speak. Why not say that men came up with drone warfare, atom bombs, torture tactics, and the rape of Mother Nature via bio-engineered franken plant combinations?
Your arrogance is repugnant. How many females pretend to be experts on the penis? Imagine panels of such experts... and how you fellas would feel.
Have the most distinguished gynecologists in modern history been men, or haven't they? Did men discover the pill and come up with treatments to fight breast cancer, or didn't they? You did not call either claim of mine into question.
If men gave us drone warfare and atom bombs, they also gave us the theory of relativity; nearly every treatment for disease under the sun; modern conveniences like plumbing, air conditioners, and refrigerators, not to mention automobiles and airplanes; the greatest works of literature (e.g., Dante and Shakespeare); some of the greatest social reformers like Gandhi and Martin Luther King; the greatest art, the very best of math and science. When is the last time you or other feminists credited men with any of these outstanding achievements?
In liberal-left circles, women are not only not treated like second-class citizens, they're held up as saints, whereas men are reviled as patriarchs, rapists, clueless sermonizers, and the like. You even deign to refer to nature as "Mother Nature," unaware that such a construction is but a metaphor.
Lastly, we "fellas" would not mind at all if women lectured us about our penises, provided they came up with a breakthrough treatment for prostate cancer the same way a man came up with a breakthrough treatment for breast cancer.
HAHAHA
What a kidder! Wish I had time to work through all those wild and crazy statements!
Einstein? He used to wrap his dirty clothes up in paper when he was at college and mail them home for his girlfriend to launder. Seriously. And then he got another girl pregnant (she just happened to be a far better physics student). She had to go home and have the baby out of wedlock. In those days.
Oh...and he was never really very good at math. He did finally marry the physics student, and there are those who swear her name was on the first copy of his paper of relativity. Then he moved away, her name disppeared from the theory, divorced her, married a younger woman (blond, you already knew that, right?), then sold the house he had let his first wife and their two sons live in. Without telling her he'd done it.
I could tell you more, but I'm sure you already know it.
Hey, come to think of it, have we ever seen a penis contest anywhere? I think not and we never will. Ah…ha…ha…..! We would all die laughing.
Just because women’s history is it is part of our purposely “hidden” culture….get a grip. You sir are so very ignorant of what women have achieved in times gone by and try to realize as the Chinese say….”Women hold up half the sky”. Or, is that too deep for you?
Most men including gynecologists do not know jack about a woman’s WHO-WHO. It long outlasts a man’s WHATCHAMACALLIT and the male finds that very disturbing. So that is why there is so much interference in women’s health by men.
Framing this issue as a gender issue rather than a more comprehensive LIFE issue is deeply troubling. One cannot cherry pick the issue of life. It's an all in or all out issue. Our overwhelming death culture speaks loudly while life continues to lose ground. This society is killing it's babies, it's killing millions abroad in unjust wars, and death stalks Mother Earth. The issue of life is much bigger than gender. You either get it or seriously risk dying an early death. Time's up. It's do or die time. Rationalization is deadly. Denial is death.
Can someone please explain to me the phenomena of 2-year-olds trapped in 50-something-year-old men's bodies? Because, I've been seeing that a lot lately, and NOTHING makes my entire female reproductive tract want to shrivel up and fall out of my body more than that. Who needs birthcontrol, when you have to deal with that?
Why must we libel two years olds? Besdies men aren't by blood any worse than women, but when capitalism or even the first hierarchy came in all went wrong. We have to have a more egalitarian world for all or we're going to destroy ourselves. We're either going to learn to live together as brothers and sisters and comrades or die like worthless European Neanderthals.
Ever consider living on an island somewhere where you don't have to interact with any men at all? I do. All the time. Most of the men I work with are exactly like the dudes in that video. And let's not libel Neanderthals.
Here's an eye opening thought about these men. Most of them had their first sexual experience during the 50's or 60's at a young age, and it came with a boat load of shame. They had to hide their sexuality from their mothers. The other factor for some may have well been abuse, by men in authority. So much for their psychological need to control the sexual life of women. I wonder what their wives think of all this. Ok, wait, Newt, well shit...that's one messed up shit. It would be so fun to tear into these buttheads' collective sociopathy.
