not at all, Adelaide. I’m a woman, but your question exemplifies so-called progressives’ desire to label, group and govern individuals. Makes it easier for the “knows best” elite to dictate.

Is Viagra similarly limited? To be fair, no public funds should be spent on it either.

And, Winston, what’s your gender? If you don’t mind my asking…

A tu quoque response doesn’t speak to the issue. Or are you happy to judge our treatment of women based on North Korean standards?

“[I]n the US culture, not much has changed.” The American culture you excoriate still does not countenance child rape, child marriage, honor killing or FGM. Has ratification of that international treaty eliminated domestic violence and rape in 186 countries? The starving men, women and children trapped in the gulag that is North Korea aren’t whining about the lack of universal childcare. Your insistence that somehow American women “don’t matter” is insulting to those of us who don’t share your contempt for American exceptionalism. FYI, I’m an attorney, live in a big city and have all my own teeth. You don’t speak for me.
