i'm sorry if i'm posting way too many posts about how much i hate this person or that, but this one..this one is just unbelievable.

Okay, so finally a digg story with a title that isn't misogynistic. but have any of you actually read through most of those comments? It's either 1. ignorant as hell guy spouting shit he knows almost zilch about, 2. ignorant as hell female who can't be female considering how she's talking about how she loves periods (in a particular way), or 3. an informed man or woman who actually knows what they're talking about replying back to #1 or #2. With #1 being most prevalent.

Although I understand some women might not like Lybrel cause it goes against their beliefs about abortion and other touchy subjects, and others because it gets rid of of the only thing your body does to usually show that you're not pregnant...nothing else makes much sense.

Just how much misinformation is in all those comments? Idiots not understanding how birth control works or what methods there are, not understanding how old this tech is, not understanding that women actually do skip periods just fine already (seasonale anyone?), completely missing the fact that technically hbc periods are withdrawal periods and not actual periods so you're not technically having a "natural" period if you're on any form of hormonal contraceptive, spouting that making the pill means women are defective (actually...other than how that one particular comment explained it, I sorta agree with this...), ...I honestly feel disgusted at the idea that some poor woman out there's gonna be influenced by something there that's absolutely ridiculous.

So, yes I'm sure my digg hatred shows... if all the ignorant assfucks on digg shut up indefinitely and never even so much as post a comment, the site would practically die.

/me impatiently waits for that day.

health, rants, sex, advocacy
