With that logic, I didn't call you stupid. I just told you to choose between stupidity and dishonesty; you don't have to choose if you don't want to.

He doesn't fuck you over though; you have the opportunity to terminate the pregnancy.

[Johnny Diala]

You were the one that called me a sexist, you moron.

It's quite easy actually: If the progesterone cures the acne, then you take her off it. And even if she does do that, then she's just a filthy liar. I don't really need an "argument" against lying.

Even if the man is using viagra for reasons other than erectile dysfunction, he's obviously using it for erectile dysfunction too; otherwise he wouldn't have been prescribed it.

[atemsdestinee93]

And now name-calling? My oh my, look who's all heated up. It doesn't matter whether you said 'I' or not, the fact is, it was a sexist comment. Did I say you were sexist? No. But I did lose an ounce of respect for you because you brought it up. You have a preconceived view as well, but it doesn't affect my argument's strength, either. As I said, the argument is pointless. And thank you, I'll have my rights. So if I get pregnant due to a man's poor decision, I'll make sure he won't 'fuck' me over.

[Johnny Diala]

The larger the sample, the more accurate it is a representation it is of the overall population. When numerous studies with 200-500 subjects state these statistics, it's highly probable they're an accurate representation and infinitesimally unlikely that they're off by a factor of at least 50, as you're trying to lead me to believe.

[atemsdestinee93]

And now we're picking at names... you sir, I have no hope for you. You say it should be covered under certain circumstances, yet how can you know how a woman is using it? It's not like every man is using viagra for erectile dysfunction, so what, that should only be covered for certain circumstances as well? If that's what you're arguing, then I believe you just put your foot in your mouth. And I agree they are real health issues. You just seem to not understand the extent of the matter.

[Johnny Diala]

No, it wasn't, you pathological liar. I said "people two hundred years ago" not "I". Either you're dishonest or you're stupid. Pick one.

Of course I can't change your mind; you have a preconceived view that you came in here with and you refuse to change it. That's your problem and doesn't affect the strength of my argument.

Sure, you can have your rights. Just don't fuck over MEN by making them pay money for your poor decision making skills.

[atemsdestinee93]

If you haven't realized by now, I don't trust studies or statistics because they don't accurately reflect the entire population. They reflect samples, and you would know that if you knew elementary statistics. Samples are a representation, not an accurate depiction, of the population. Your 1% is only a representation, yet you're treating it like fact. And oh my gosh, 'gracefully' wasn't spelt wrong, you just used the wrong word. That 50% were of those who DID report their attacks, and you (con.)

[Johnny Diala]

Then there's no point in calling it birth control, is there? It's just an progesterone pill.

Sure, insurance should cover it during those circumstances. It should not, however, cover it when a woman uses it to prevent pregnancy. That's not a health issue.

Yes, female problems are real health issues. That's why breast cancer research is exponentially more funded than prostate cancer research, even though they have approx. the same occurrence rates

[atemsdestinee93]

It was indeed a sexist comment, so don't blame me for something you typed yourself. I haven't ran out of arguments, you're just not doing a good job of making your case. Everything you've thrown at me, I threw right back. Your arguments are weak because you haven't changed my mind. And no sir, it's called being a decent human being. Women want their rights and they will fight for it. If you don't like their methods, then it's honestly your problem.

[Johnny Diala]

Alright, then try to find a study, any study, within the US that claims rape causes over 5% of abortions, or that health concerns cause over 30% of the abortions. Any.

Correcting spelling mistakes, claiming rape victims rarely report attacks when the only numbers you gave were about 50% of them, and claiming they make all "statistics fault" when I gave you that extra 1%, justifying teen drinking, etc.., all signs of someone without any argument left. This is just getting humorous now.
