Dawn Side of the Moon
THINGS WHICH SHOULD BE FIXED
Dawn and Maura in the kitchen, contemplating things that just aren't right.
WOMEN AND TOOLS.
MAURA: These hinges need some WD-40. And I think a new washer will make all the difference in our water bill.

DAWN: Have you talked to Gary? He's been going through the wringer, trying to do that prostate reduction study. I heard that there's a lot of research going on to help these guys who have to go to the bathroom all night. I can understand that would be uncomfortable. Loss of sleep, and they have to plan their social schedules around the bathroom...

MAURA: Yeah. Any pregnant woman knows what that's like..
DAWN: It just seems out of balance, though. When Linda had her cervical problems, everyone --- including Gary --- was telling her to just get the hysterectomy. "Why not just have the doctors take it all out? You don't need it, do you? It gives you nothing but trouble. If it were me, I'd have them take it out."

It's like women's body parts are disposable.

But don't even talk about cutting a man!
MAURA: Why not? Prostrate problems? Hmm... could lead to something serious.

Why don't you tell him to just have them yank it out? It's not like he really needs it or anything. He doesn't even need to go through his HMO...

MAURA: I mean, I've got these tools real handy here...

DAWN: You totally rock. Let me get you a beer.

MAURA: And what's up with Viagra? I can't get my birth control covered by insurance, but by golly they'll pay for Viagra!

DAWN: I think I'll get us both a beer.
Disclaimer: Dawn doesn't want you to think that she's unsympathetic to men with prostrate or other health issues. Her problem is with medical disparity and the socialization which has led so many --- including women --- to devalue women's bodies.

Dawn also encourages you to drink responsibly and often and to avoid sissy beers at all cost. Real women drink Guinness.
