baileygenine: justthetipoffeminism: The Cost of Being Female  While I like the idea of this, it’s really not that accurate at all. I’ve never had any kind of HIV counseling, and it states that women have it every year? Also, annual pelvic exams are covered as ‘preventative care’ and are free for most health insurance plans, plus the whole HPV screen is included with the pelvic exam, so they counted that twice. IUD and other forms of birth control are completely optional, although the side effects of most hormone supplements are worse than any price. Blah blah blah having children is optional and in my opinion unnecessary. I’ve never had an HIV screening, but I donate blood every 8 weeks, and they test for HIV when they process it— do not donate blood just for a free screening though, that is such a waste of the donation center’s time. I’m just ranting now, but mammograms and other things aren’t included on this list, and just in general, women are paid less so everything is bullshit in the end. Happy holidays! What a complete crock of bullshit.
