People Who Refuse to Wear Masks in Public Are Like Men Who Refuse to Wear Condoms in Bed
Shame on You!
Am I the only woman who finds a suspicious similarity between the excuses made by people who refuse to wear masks in public and men who refuse to put on a condom in the bedroom?
“I don’t like the way it feels!”
“I don’t like the way it looks.”
“I’m safe — trust me!”
Uh — no.
You’re not safe, dude. You’re just selfish.
You don’t wear a condom — or a mask — just to protect yourself. You also do it to protect others.
Putting on a condom during sex protects your partner from an unwanted pregnancy (not to mention any STDs you might have.)
Wearing a mask in public — if you unknowingly have the virus — protects everyone around you from being exposed to your nasty virus-packed droplets.
Dudes like former President Trump seem to feel that wearing a mask makes them less virile and manly. Just the opposite is true. A real man isn’t afraid to wear a mask or a condom.
“I’m safe — trust me!”
Yeah, I trust you. I trust you to not care about anybody but yourself.
And if you insist on being out in public without wearing a mask? Everybody you come within six feet of should react the same way any sensible woman responds to a guy who wants to put her at risk by barebacking it:
Oh HELL no.
In life, as in love, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
