While it was unpleasant it was nothing compared to the birth control pain! The difference? Men also get a camera up their bum and must complain about the pain so they get options!!

Imagine questioning your own sanity because no one believes you. If this happened to affluent, educated white women in America, imagine what happens to...Read full review »
