Chelsea, lately, has been making a statement.
Chelsea Handler took to Instagram to share a video of herself sitting in bed, topless, giving herself a mammogram, stating, “as a woman with natural breasts, not that that has anything to do with this, it is time to explore vasectomies.”
The comedian added in the Friday footage, “Since the beginning of time, women have been ducking and diving and dodging pregnancy face-first or Pikachu-first. Frankly, they’re exhausted.”
For Handler and many other women, they’ve become tired of hearing men complain that “using a condom doesn’t feel so good” or asking their partners to “take birth control.”
“Enough, you horny little pigs in blankets,” the author said into the camera, before inquiring: “Do you know how painful it is to get an IUD placed? It feels like a mouse trap in your uterus, and sometimes those things don’t even catch all the mice.”
An Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a form of birth control that is inserted into a woman’s uterus, per the Cleveland Clinic.
An IUD can prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years and can be removed by a doctor if a woman decides to become pregnant.
Handler also touched on different forms of female birth control, including the pill.
“You think I want to be an adult woman with acne or have mood swings, or get a period that’s so heavy it feels like the Hoover Dam just broke? I don’t,” the talk show host continued. “Everybody already hates women enough. I don’t need my insides to join in on the fun.”
According to Handler, it’s time for men to take action, including undergoing vasectomies.
A vasectomy “is a type of birth control that prevents the penis from releasing sperm in fluid called semen during sex,” per the Mayo Clinic
The operation includes having a surgeon cut and seal the tubes that carry sperm.
