WIC is given to women only while they are pregnant and just after birth, so my interpretation is that women are equally disposable EXCEPT when they are functioning as baby incubators. If you aren't actively doing god's work by cranking out babies, in other words, you're as welcome as any man to go crawl into a corner and starve to death. The I and C in WIC are gender neutral. I didn't think medicaid favored either gender except that more women qualify for it.

Your larger points though, I appreciated those and really strongly appreciate your voice on DU.
