Welcome to The Balcony, where we fight for equality with the use of our muppet mouths and human intellects. I can't speak for everybody here, but I've been fairly disappointed by the ridiculous differences in the ways men and women are being treated recently. This blog isn't exactly a place for bashing, but more of a place for making you aware, while I (we?) make you laugh while you think. Or maybe you'll just cry. First order of business: inequality in insurance.
It's called Pos-T-Vac, and it's basically a penis pump. The stabby-feeling gets pretty intense when I see the commercial for this, especially when there's a man in the commercial who says, "If you have a BRAIN IN YOUR HEAD, you'll call this number." Oh really? You must be psychic.
I'm glad men can enjoy this dick-enhancer and the men and women in their lives can enjoy their rock-hard members, but really? This is really covered by medicare and most major insurance companies? I'm sorry, but until I can get a vibrator "by prescription" and have it covered by insurance, this is totally fucked. Can my hood ring go on my insurance claims? Oh, no? It can't? That seems a little wrong in my book, especially since my "enhancement" is supposed to serve basically the same purpose as your pecker-pump. No, I don't have to get "hard" to have sex, but I do need a little more stimulation than the average bear--shouldn't my insurance help me with that?
With all the current medications on the market for "male-enhancement," this is probably the most offensive to me.
In my book, this is a sex toy. The same thing you can buy at any sex store, where pornos, dildos, handcuffs, outfits, and flavored gels abound. But I, as a woman, cannot go to this store and write off everything in the store on my insurance claims. Or can I? If anyone knows what insurance companies support "female-enhancement," you let me know. I'm ready to switch, even if it's to super-annoying Geico.

Okay, so men can walk around with medically enhanced hard-ons, most of them covered by Medicaid. This means that the overly engorged expense is covered by, guess who?!, the taxpayers. Even worse, while men are walking around all ready to go, Medicaid won't cover the cost of an abortion if it's not rape, incest, or life endangerment-- and activists had to fight tooth and nail to get that much (See the Hyde Amendment)! Additionally, birth control can be denied to me based on the personal religious whim of the fulfilling pharmacist, regardless of whether or not it is for pregnancy prevention or for medicinal reasons. And our dear, beloved Sarah Palin charged rape victims for their own rape kits!
ReplyDeleteI guess my feeling is that if health care coverage and reform is going to be based on the individual personal belief systems of a few, I just want to put in my two cents and say that I've got a "moral objection" to men getting erections that God clearly does not want them to get.
Ha! I love pulling the God card. Look fellas, I'm sorry that you can't get it up anymore. Even so, this pleasurable engorging of your member should NOT be covered by healthcare costs...especially if women's bodies' REAL NEEDS get booted off the list of covered items.
ReplyDeleteI was recently denied coverage of one month of birth control because I, and I quote, "bought it too early." Really, insurance company? You REALLY don't think I know how to properly use my birth control and should thus be punished, not with proper instruction, but with fees? And that the pharmacist who said NOTHING to me when I purchased the product didn't have some role there? Awesome. Thanks. I'm sure had I purchased a few extra Viagra before my cruise to the Bahamas you wouldn't have batted an eye.
