That makes no sense, as prostitution is illegal, yet the male-dominated culture of America does cater to males. Insurance companies pay for sexual aids for men like Viagra, Cialis, etc., with no complaint. Yet for so many years they considered birth control a non-necessary "fringe" and made women pay for it out of pocket. I do wonder how with your point of view that priests, monks, nuns and anyone else who is celebate have stayed alive for all these years though. Read Maslow for what I mean as a basic human need.

PS: Please read the excerpt I cited above. If I can get through to somebody it would help. I bet I am formerly more conservative than many of you on here but I saw the light.

I would want a $5,000-a-night hooker, and I want the gov't's Universal Sex Care to pay for this.

You've just illustrated the absurdity of your own original comparison. You could've saved me a few years of carpal tunnel by typing this earlier. Don't wait next time.

Interesting how when I make a salient point, the response is buffoonery in an attempt to detract from the truth.

Some people have an ideology, and they are sticking to it. Sean Hannity told you that Universal Health Care would have you waiting on lines and dying, so gol-darn it, some people are going to fight for that position on internet forums!!

Then, when you point out that people without coverage..or at the mercy of HMO's..die..then it becomes about "freedom".

Sing it with me:

"I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free...to die from a curable disease because I can't afford insurance!!"

No reason to counter an absurd premise. An absurd premise that every consumer of right wing media seems to think is valid, but, absurd nonetheless.
