Just a reminder that Hobby Lobby may have abandoned women, but they have no problem providing for men. Update!

Just a reminder that Hobby Lobby may have abandoned women, but they have no problem providing for men. Update!
Courtesy of HuffPo:

Hobby Lobby -- now free to drop emergency "morning after" pills and intrauterine devices from its workers' health insurance plans -- has given no indication that it plans to stop helping its male employees obtain erectile dysfunction treatments.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the craft store chain, owned by evangelical Christians, doesn't have to pay for health care coverage of contraceptives prohibited by its owners' religion.

But pills and pumps that help a man stiffen his penis in preparation for sex are perfectly acceptable.

Yes that's right ladies, Hobby Lobby is all about helping your man get a boner, but if that throbbing scepter of conception fertilizes one of those slutty eggs of yours they do not want anything to do with the fact that you may be saddled with an eighteen year commitment that will seriously hijack your life.

You know it dawned on me today that the ratio of men to women that come into a Hobby Lobby store must be about one or two for every hundred. I mean I looked through their online store and I quickly realized that this is the kind of store that most men would only enter if their wife was dragging them in by their hair.

And, though I have never been to one, I have to imagine that the number of women working in the store must outnumber the men by similar margins.

No, I'm sure there are SOME men working there. You know in a managerial capacity, because though the ladies look nice and are great at selling fabric they simply don't have the intellect for maintaining inventory or handling the money.

Right Mr. green?

And after considering all that I had only one question.


This is an organization that relies almost one hundred percent on female clientele and yet they went to the Supreme Court in order to be excluded from providing to their female employees the kind of health insurance that virtually every other company in the country MUST provide to them, and yet found nothing objectionable about providing males employees (All six of them) health insurance that helps to pay for a pump which allows them to get an erection anytime they want.

And if that were not enough hypocrisy for you do not forget that Hobby Lobby's retirement plan invests quite heavily in contraception manufacturers.

And yes that includes the emergency contraception medications that they seem so adamantly against providing to their employees.

Update: Just when you thought all of this could not be more galling, it also seems that before Hobby Lobby was against providing access to emergency contraception on their health care plans they were for it.
