If Your Hobby Includes Sex, You're Screwed

I didn't step aside when the Saints were accused of getting paid to injure other players, or when Drew Brees pitched a rightful fit when he didn't get paid enough. And I'm certainly not going to falter in my support for the Supreme Court when they make a decision I don't agree with. I've been quoted to say time and time again that they make the decisions we don't want to or don't have the enlightenment to make for ourselves. Given their past decisions regarding human rights, I won't say I wasn't surprised. But you won't see me resorting to play ground tactics to express my disagreement. 

I do not envy the role the Supreme Court has to play in society. I can say with a certainty that my shoulders could not bear the weight of a black robe (and my horrible grade in Biology due to my limited attention span regarding classes that feel unnecessary would make law school almost impossible). We all think we know what is right for America, but if some of us can't even get out and vote, I highly doubt we could make such difficult life altering decisions. There is obviously heavy disagreement within the court itself regarding this issue, and I don't think the fault lies entirely in the hands of the Supreme Court anyways. 

I don't think America was ready to handle this issue quite yet. Of course, that isn't the goal the Supreme Court has in mind when they make their decisions (did you see Idaho when same-sex marriage made headway? They were definitely not ready for that.) but allow me to explain myself further. 

This may be the 21st century but women's rights has stalled somewhere within the 18th. The biggest argument against birth control right now seems to be, "I shouldn't have to pay for your naughty sex games, you slutty slut slut. That's what you do on your dime, not mine." But often times when an argument has no validity, it won't hold up when viewed in another light. So if people are squeamish about what goes on in the bedroom because Jesus said it was bad, why is their no issue regarding Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs? Their ONLY purpose is so that men can bump uglies after only twenty or so minutes of popping that purple pill. Obviously the issue doesn't stop at being a prude if men can have sex all they want while women having sex is an infringment upon religious rights. 

Let's examine the issue further by looking at what birth control also does. While Viagra may serve one single purpose, birth control serves many. While controlling birth may be the obvious one, it also controls heavy flow, iron deficiencies (which results in a never ending period if let undiagnosed), heavy cramping, irregular cycles or no cycle at all, and ovarian cysts which hurt like hell and can cause health complications when they burst, quite like your appendix. People seem to turn a convenient blind eye to these issues that can be life altering and life threatening if left to their own devices. But again, an invalid argument has a snowballs chance in hell when held up in a different light. 

So what's the difference? Is it merely because women have had to fight so hard for rights that men enjoy every day? Is if because we are not actually squeamish when it comes to sex and actually want to equip men with a stronger gun so it can result in tons and tons of babies? Why the obsession with having babies, when women who aren't ready are less likely to be able to provide for their children than those who have waited until they could endure loads of doctors bills and poopy baby bums. I'd rather give women the means to wait until they are ready instead of carrying out their pregnancy like a scarlet letter and falling under of the struggle of being a parent. 

So remember, enough with the stupid memes and name calling when it comes to the Supreme Court. The fault isn't entirely theirs and is obviously an issue humankind has fought since the beginning. When it comes to womens rights, we still have a long way to go. So offer your positive support to those who are trying to make a change and support. If you teach women they shouldn't enjoy sex, they will likely fake it, and you might end up popping that Viagra since you're embarrassed by your incompetency. Good luck with that boner that lasts longer than three hours!
