BAD NEWS COMES IN THE MALE
Bloody Sunday. Black Monday. Black Friday.
Now White Friday, the day two white men killed another hard-won chunk of democracy .
Friday was the day that one privileged white man with all the power in the world — the President — mandated the severe curtailing of the reproductive rights of women. It was the day another white man with power — the attorney general — got to keep his job while transgender Americans woke up knowing they could lose theirs because the AG had put targets on their backs.
A day earlier, Jeff Sessions (above) announced that the provision of the 1964 Civil Rights Act against discrimination based on “sex” doesn’t apply to transgender Americans because it protects only those deemed “biologically male or female.” What?
Why are we not taking to the streets to protest the now seemingly lawful discrimination against fellow citizens of the United States?
Then on Friday, the President announced a mandate against mandatory birth control coverage for women. Is it 2017 or 1957?
He announced that companies will no longer be required to offer female contraception without co-pays or deductibles if it “violates sincerely held religious . . . (or) moral convictions.”
This from a man who’s had three wives and more sex scandals than the Kardashians. Moral convictions? An oxymoron from a moron, as Secretary of State Tillerson might (and allegedly did) call him.
Meantime, men can still get no-deductible Viagra as part of their “health” coverage.
Just to put this in perspective?
The United States military alone forks over $84 million a year — yes, every year — to provide Viagra and other erectile dysfunction medicines for males in the military.
They used to put saltpeter in recruits’ food to keep them from getting aroused, now they use taxpayer money to make sure they can stay aroused.
