Derp!!!

I am LOVING this scandal because of how it's exposing how many on the right view women.

That was, again, sarcasm. Viagra and contraceptives do not share any common characteristics outside of being prescription medication.

Or you're comparing apples and oranges. You're equating a contraceptive with a sex aid. They're not the same. If they were the same, and they were being treated differently, you'd have a valid point.

Ok, I'm just going to say both are used in the act of sex. If people have an issue with one, they should have an issue with the other. I mean really are you, an apparently smart man failing to realize the point I'm trying to make?

I understand the point you're trying to make, yes. The point, however, is completely invalid. The two medications serve incredibly different purposes.

I have an issue with the hypocrisy, I have an issue with the double standard. I have an issue with the sexism.

And since none of those things are true, you have an issue with a phantom.

Well, you're claiming hypocrisy and double standard by comparing unlike things.

As for sexism, you have a stronger case except that you're using it as a blanket. There are certainly sexist elements to some who oppose the mandates - the point is more one of mandates and religion, not of women.
