Like, of course Ill pick up dinner for us when youre working late.

You bet Ill wipe the cats poop off the carpet when youre having a bad day.

Why, yes, I do have an IUD.

How did you know?

I was heatedso much so that I madea TikTok videojust to get some things off my chest.

I deserve compensation for being bedridden for a day and a half, wrote one user.

Two people’s legs touch under a table as they work on their laptops.

I deserve a damn Hawaiian vaca and a new car, wrote another.

The other part is principal.

Men and non-uterus-havers dont give birth and arent expected to be on birth control.

Books on grief are seen floating against a backdrop of clouds.

Women and uterus-havers do and are.

Indeed, its theimpliedresponsibility so often placed on women and uterus-havers that hurtsboth physically and emotionally.

Thats all the more reason why I think we IUD-having baddies deservesomesort of gift.

AKA support, according to Gulotta.

As for an actual gift from a partner for getting an IUD placed?

Gulotta isnt so quick to say itsnecessary.

Michelle Monaghan, Carrie Coon, and Leslie Bibb in The White Lotus, symbolizing toxic friendships.

If thats a physical giftlike I wantedthen, I think thats totally fair.

But Im still a little heated at men and society as a whole.

Can you blame me?
