Nice try, RICHARD!

I was wondering when one of the male PTers would venture into this topic

[Catty1]

And Grace, were you surprised at ALL at who the male was that ventured here?

You read it wrong. We are judging the CIA and other U.S. Government organizations for their double standards when it comes to men vs women. Appears slightly misogynistic.

The CIA is using what works, I doubt they care if its sexist or not, they seem to only care about what works and gets results in theater. The CIA has no authority in the USA IIRC.

I don't think anyone questions what is done overseas...my impression from Grace's post is that it shows up even MORE how unfairly sexual medications are handled at home.

Have a boo at the link here and you'll see what is meant.

Doesn't that just fry you. Our Federal Government is only too happy to dispense Viagra for men, but if a woman needs access to birth control . . . . . forget about it.

EDIT:

I remember some 40 years ago when the State of Connecticut would not allow doctors to prescribe any form of birth control for married couples. Fortunately that was resolved in 1965, by the U.S. Supreme Court in Griswold v. Connecticut. Maybe we need to do it again.
