I have heard it said that if you believe in God, you don’t believe that there’s any such thing as a coincidence, as everything is part of The Divine Plan. Rarely do you get solid proof of the existence of The Deity on Fox News and Planet Out, on the same day.
I had heard this a few years ago, and all this corroboration does is reinforce the concept that God must be a man. Prostate cancer check = blood test. Breast cancer check = mash sensitive body part between two sheets of glass, cranking them ever closer with a winch hauled out of the Spanish Inquisition.
Now we discover that prostate cancer prevention = pleasuring oneself at every single opportunity. Breast cancer prevention = rigorous diet and exercise.
Okay, okay. I get the point.
But now, to add insult to injury, we get proof that not only is God a man, He dislikes women and has a wicked sense of humor.
Edit: thanks to Jennie for pointing out the broken link.
Oh, and He’s obviously in cahoots with my mother, who is no doubt laughing her fool head off at me right. this. minute.
Note: one could point out that a depressed man could pick up a mop and wash that trouble right out of his hair, but he can’t. He’s too busy on his crusade to prevent prostate cancer.

The link for the second one isn’t working (for me anyway)…. but as part of the link is “tidying-up-a-little-a-day-boosts-your-mind” I think I get the point. Although surely the article doesn’t really imply it only applies to women?!

No, of course not. Not in this day and age. But let’s face it: who does most of the housework in a family? Who is going to profit from pointing out that leaving the housework to the woman is actually doing her a favor?
And who, when depressed and faced with the choice of “Prevent prostate cancer?” or “Clean toilets?” is going to pick up the Scrubbing Bubbles?
I’m just sayin’. 🙂
