a woman’s health benefits a woman should be able to choose her own health insurance (which she can’t).” This is a valid point because most often men are the ones creating healthcare plans. How is a man supposed to understand the pain of menstrual cramps? How is a man supposed to know how it feels to have an ovarian cyst? They don’t know these feelings and will never experience them. So if a man doesn’t know all the positive ways birth control or contraceptives work, how can he dictate such laws…

The Track Meet I wake up to the loud beeping of my alarm, slowly roll out of bed, and take in a quick, sharp, breath. I’m sore. Why did I say yes to going to the gym? I just knew it would be a bad idea. Today is the school track meet and I am running the 100 meter dash. I slowly stand up and get dressed into my new Tarwater shirt and shorts, pull my soft blonde hair up into a high bun, and put my shoes on.

As a female, I have to make sure I take care of myself and prevent any hurt, harm, or danger or unplanned issues from coming my way. One way I make sure of is that I keep u to date with my birth control. My current birth control method is the Depo-Provera shot, to illustrate; Depo-Provera is a shot of hormone/ progestin that keep the eggs from leaving the ovaries and also makes the mucus thicker to keep the sperm from getting to the eggs.

Though there is a lack of women-specific research into health issues that affect both men and women, it is wrong to say that issues that impact only women are well researched. Issues that impact only women are not sufficiently studied, and are often disregarded as a “normal part of being a woman,” though these issues may cause incredible amounts of pain and greatly reduce quality of life for sufferers.
