The verdict is in courtesy of self appointed Judge and Jury Rush Limbaugh. I am a slut. I didn't realize it before, but he says so, so there you have it. I am a slut. Do I have to tell my husband?
Interesting. I have been married 34 years this month. One husband. Only partner. Yet, here I am facing the cruel truth. It seems that women who take birth control are sluts. I took birth control. Ergo ... you do the math.
Did I take birth control so I could have promiscuous sex? Well ... if having sex for reasons other than procreation is promiscuous, I guess I did. We decided that being over 40, it was probably not a good idea to have more children. I suppose we could have opted for celibacy, but we opted for birth control instead. My husband was aware. He was in on the decision. Did he know he was making me a slut by weighing in on that decision? I don't think so. But he did, so there you go.
Interesting thing - when it became unlikely that a woman my age would get pregnant, I continued to take the pill for several years. You see, it balanced my hormones. It is amazing how hormones can affect personality. I had changed. I became someone you could live with. You know, tolerable. Less prickly. So in the interest of being more balanced and in control, I continued being a slut. I kept taking the pill. When my doctor would no longer prescribe the pill for me, I had the easiest menopause one could imagine. No hot flashes. No mood swings. A consequence of being a slut.
I guess Rush and the gang don't want other men's wives to be sluts. They want the other men to suffer through their wives' PMS and menopausal symptoms. After all, if Rush and the gang have to suffer, why let other men off the hook?
Rush, just a quick FYI ... I would rather be a slut than a 70 year old mother of a teenager.
