Why do people object to the use of Viagra and similar drugs being voluntarily covered by health insurance companies, but fail to object to birth control pills not being covered unless mandated by law?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sexual double standard and societal expectations around gender roles may contribute to the discrepancy in how these drugs are viewed and covered by insurance. Viagra is seen as a treatment for a medical condition (erectile dysfunction) while birth control is often viewed as a tool for preventing women from being sexually active or having control over their own bodies. This reflects broader societal attitudes around gender and sexuality, which privilege male sexuality and reinforce traditional gender roles.
