    Ridiculous oversimplification.

    Doctors and nurses perform a myriad of tasks. Categorizing their job as "x" is shallow and naive.

    If they find one of those tasks morally reprehensible....does that mean they can't be doctors or nurses?? Only pro-choice people can work in the medical profession??

    I don't think you have to even make the argument as specific as finding a task morally reprehensible.

    Suppose you have some apples. You traded an apple for $1 with some people. That does not mean you should be forced to trade an apple for $1 with me.

    I've been charged more for a pedicure just because I'm a man.

    Totally legal.

    Total bullshit, but totally legal.

    I'm completely fine with being on the receiving end of that. I have the choice of going somewhere else for services, etc.

    I actually think it's an industry-wide practice. The argument is that men go less often than women, therefore the higher price is justified.

    The only places I haven't seen that done is at casino spas, but a pedi in one of those places is like $90 as it is.

    That's the price you pay for being gay.

    Whatever fag.

    I had a good winning night at the poker table once, and often times when that happens, I'll splurge on a massage. The casino spa was offering a special "mens package" that day which allowed me to get the pedi and the massage for roughly the same price.

    Up until that point all I ever did was take the hedge clippers to my toenails every couple of weeks. Then, on this day, I got a pedicure.

    HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT A DIFFERENCE.

    Even the act of putting on socks felt smoother, and more comfortable. I really don't know how to describe how much more comfortable, and healthy my feet felt, and how that feeling improved my overall comportment in ways I still don't understand.

    Suffice it to say, as of that day, my feet became someone else's job. And I don't care how gay anyone thinks it is. Don't knock it til you tried it.
