Equal pay: A Secret Lady Plot to Steal Men’s Money and Make them Fight Lions, or Something
Eventually, women won’t have to do anything, and men will just carry them everywhere.
These women clamoring for equal pay — what’s their game? I mean, obviously they don’t want anything as straightforward as equal pay for equal work. What woman wants to work?
Happily, the smart lads in the Men’s Rights subreddit have it all figured out.
Clever girls!
I do feel bad for all the fellas in the Men’s Rights subreddit, none of whom presumably work in air-conditioned offices. They probably all have to wrestle lions for a living, with their bare hands, in coal mines, blindfolded. (Them, not the lions.) It’s kind of amazing they find time to post on the internet at all!
h/t to TheBluePill for pointing me towards this manly wisdom.

Hugs for Amnesia! Wow, that’s a strange situation.
Thanks, katz!
leftwingfox — poor kitty! Wishing you both the best.
Falconer — squee, they really are adorable.
Everyone with gynecologist idiocy — if you’re in the US I cannot recommend planned parenthood enough. Seriously, they were awesome. And their website has a birth control method selection tool that should work anywhere there’s flash.
As for failure rates, wiki is your friend — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_birth_control_methods — perfect use failure rate on male condoms is 2% (female condoms don’t fare quite as well), typical use is 15% but that includes people who on,y sometimes use ‘em.
Hence my they’re called condoms gif.
Oh, that’s for latex condoms, non-latex ones are less effective, but still way better than an 80% failure rate! (Fuck, no birth control has a 85% failure rate, why recommend any BC if it’s failure rate is only 5% less than not using any at all!)
FTR, the good old pulling out method is 18% typical use, 4% perfect use, making it actually fairly effective (note, use condoms! But if you can’t get one, coitus interruptus definitely does help prevent pregnacy)
Amandajane - unfortunately I live in New Zealand, where cellphone related stuff is ridiculous and expensive. I can’t change carriers because no one buys out contracts here.
Freemage - See above about the ridiculousness. Scaling down the plan isn’t a thing, I don’t have a choice to pay less than $50 a month, no matter what I use. So really the network would be happier for me not to have a phone. They don’t offer phone insurance either, otherwise I would have got it (I asked.)
WeeBoy: Okay, yeah, you have my deepest sympathies; lousy customer service always sucks to deal with.
Argenti: As always with that BC-comparison approach, it’s worth noting that they never score abstinence correctly. The claim is that abstinence is “100% effective”, and that’s true-for ‘perfect use’. But if “typical use” of condoms includes, “Well, we’re usually good about it but we were out and too horny to run to the drug store for more,” then “typical use” of abstinence includes, “Well, we were gonna wait like Jesus wanted, but damn, have you SEEN his/her ass in those jeans?” (Also, “typical use” of abstinence would include the possibility of non-consensual sex, because the real world sucks.)
Instead, they just pretend there is no ‘typical use’ column for abstinence.
Weeboy, the last time I had to deal with carriers I bought an absolutely dirt cheap phone, and then I bought a better phone for a deal via amazon and switched chips. It’s worked out pretty great for me-still cost money, but not near as much as the carrier wanted to tag me for.
So even if you have to buy a dirt-cheap no-good phone from them just to have any phone at all, that’s not the end of the road.
Argenti, natural planning methods (calendar for people with regular schedules and cervical mucus methods for those who don’t) have a failure rate of 6% and 5% respectively. And that’s with nothing other than abstaining on certain days… I dunno why that isn’t considered appropriate to teach in abstinence only education, but I suppose it would require some discussion of intercourse and education about how everything works - and everyone knows if you’re ignorant about things then you’re the best informed around!!
(I know a lot about the topic of contraception)
SittieKitty — because the point of that BS isn’t anti-BC but anti-sex. And natural family planning means sexytimes can commence.
Freemage — who even lists abstinence? Isn’t it obvious that not having sex = not getting pregnant, and for when you do have sex the rate is the rate of whatever you do/don’t use? I get your point about rape, but, at least in the US, abstinence means no sex, period. Hence all the BS about abortion and rape — if it wasn’t consensual then the pregnancy isn’t her responsibility! (I say her because our republicans would probably give themselves whiplash reconciling the desire to punish women with the idea that some people who can get pregnant are not women)
Argenti, I promise, it wasn’t me!! I was tempted (on a couple of occassions) to check all the things, but I didn’t do it! I limited myself to no more than three choices on any one thingie.
And that kitteh parade (once I got my brains funneled back in my ears) reminded me of this
Psst, Argenti, go look at DeviantArt.
I have a llama! Thanks so much katz!
Oh, haha, I didn’t actually llama you, but I did invite you to the new Manboobz group.
Can someone who isn’t a deviantArtist still view the Manboobz group?
Sure can. Nothing there but a few old Pierres, though, so far.
Anyone on DeviantArt who didn’t get an invite should apply and I’ll let you in. (I think I invited everyone but I’m very scatterbrained.)
I llamad everyone on my watchers list. ^.^
Because you’re awesome.
The “Join request” tells me it’s closed for now.
Is there another way I can join?
Oh. For instance, I could just
Link you to my site that I almost never, ever use! Or have anything useful or fun on!
Stupid settings. Everyone should be able to join now. (I think. DeviantArt doesn’t exactly dazzle one with its intuitive interface.)
Llamas! Thank you!

Me too!
Llamas for everyone!

The anti-sex conservatives-they invariably point to the ‘typical use’ numbers on those charts, then compare that to abstinence’s ’100*%’ rating, as a reason we should us ab-only education. Which, of course, is stupid. Anyone who says they’re not planning on having sex, but who does, and doesn’t use protection because they got surprised by the decision, is a ‘typical user’ of abstinence.
I’m saying it SHOULD be on the list for that reason. Show how often couples that say they aren’t going to have sex at all end up getting pregnant. That will give the ‘typical use’ level of abstinence.
Ah ok, I got you. Sorry, I thought you were talking about sensible people who don’t abuse data
By the way, my DA is here, but I don’t use it that much. Drawing for a living means I draw much less for fun.
Btw, kitty is doing much better. She’s eating and drinking again. She’s also threatening to claw the crap out of me if I don’t feed her or pet her every waking moment. I think the vet gave her kitty cocaine. Now I just have to watch for relapses with her breathing or diet.
So glad to hear kitty is doing better, leftwingfox! Hope she continues to improve, the little coke fiend.
Aw, Weeboy.
I actually buy all of my phones second hand because I am unwilling to pay new prices; TradeMe is the best. Might be worth having a look? There are some decent ones on there and mostly people are honest. Never been a drama for me to get a new simcard on the same contract: I am a bit hard on stuff.
I’m paying $30/month with 2Deg, it’s been WAY cheaper than Vodafone (or Telecom, they were much of a muchness for me), but I’m guessing you won’t be able to afford the cancellation fees. :/
Do you get prepaid phones in NZ? I’ve never gone to contracts because they’re so damn expensive and Telstra are ripoff merchants (and nobody else has coverage where I am - in MELBOURNE ferchrissakes). Though I guess if the mobile’s your main/only phone, prepaid would end up pricier.
@Freemage: I totally agree.
When I went to school, as I recall, sex ed only presented us with the “perfect use” statistics for various birth control methods, and no statistics for abstinence. Maybe, if I’m to speculate a bit, because they expected that all teenagers have sex anyway, and everyone ought to understand that you’re supposed to use birth control methods the way it says on the package.
However, I can see the point in including “typical use” too, since real people can be pretty sloppy… and if you do that, AND if you actually talk about abstinence as an alternative to having sex with birth control, yeah, the “typical” abstinence-person should totally be in the chart.
