Borderline conspiracy theorist that I am- I don't trust anything out of the mouths of politicians. But it used to be that the everyday civil servants doing the job of running federal agencies like the FDA used science instead of religion as the basis for rule-making.
Not so anymore. You think all the stuff about the FDA approving Viox despite the possibility of death was bad, then the (dis)information they are putting out about birth-control and condoms should really freak you out.
This is one of the best, most comprehensive articles on the topic I've read in a while. None of it's new to me, but it is very well put together. I may have to start reading girly mags again if this is the kind of articles I've been missing.
Wait, what's that you're saying? Oh you have a penis, this doesn't apply to you. Bullshit. You need to know what kind of crap your girlfriend or wife is being fed because it directly impacts your sex life. Oh, I'm sorry, you're a boy who sleeps with other boys- yeah check out what they say about condom use. You wonder why condom use is declining among young gay men- maybe because they are being told that condoms don't work to prevent the spread of disease. If condoms don't work against disease, and gay boys can't knock up other boys then why would they need to use condoms at all?
I'm starting to think we live in some freakish hybrid of Orwell's 1984 and Atwood's Handmaid's Tale.
