> [@Inigo\_Montoya](#): > > Right? I have two daughters as well. They both had IUDs when they were 15 (their request). I mean, they’re strong willed women now so it’s not like I’d get a good price for them anyway. A few pizzas for one of them, as it turns out. Wait? Someone gave you some pizzas in return for one of your daughters? Hmmm, considering that this is the 21st century and, TI notwithstanding, society is trying to be more equal between the sexes, do you think if a guy had say… two sons, he might be able to get in on this pizza deal? Did any crazy bread exchange hands? Asking for the friend of a friend. ---

> [@Inigo\_Montoya](#): > > I’ve been wondering about that. If you’re a doctor approached by such a lunatic, you can get all righteous and send him away, but knowing he’ll keep shopping until he finds a compliant doctor. Or you can take the case, forego the exam and maybe have some realtalk or low level counseling with the girl instead (teens can always use that). And do it for free because, hey, always willing to help a good and moral father do the right thing by his naturally wayward daughter. “Yessiree, sealed up tight as a new jar of peanut butter. NEXT!” If he’s actually going into the room for the exam though, that isn’t an option. This is all kinds of fucked up. What a tyrant. ---

l never heard of this jackass, and I hope I never do again. I have to wonder exactly what is his intimate relationship with his daughter. This kind of perversion is usually just the tip of the iceberg. Some doctor should check his ass for anal warts. You know, those rappers get around. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > If the doctor lies to the father about the exam and the father eventually finds out, he can sue the doctor for charging for procedures that never happened. Being male, I don’t know exactly how these exams work, but I assume that the doctor doesn’t need to do anything special to check for the hymen, since he is in the neighborhood already, so to speak. He just needs to (potentially) lie about the results. ---

When I was that age, I always insisted on seeing the girl’s virginity certificate, which had to be current, before the first date. I wonder why I rarely had second dates. Or, for that matter, many first ones. ---

Would the doctor get into any trouble for telling the truth to the patient and lying to the father? Surely telling the father an uncomfortable truth that the adult patient wants to keep secret would be an major issue…isn’t it? God I hope so. If I were the doctor, as soon as she hit 18, I would refuse to let the father in to the exam, I would take a female nurse in as a chaperone but at that point, she is an adult and needs to be given her privacy. ---

Well, this has ruined the _Ant-Man_ movies for me. Maybe Disney can edit him out in future releases. This is why I avoid celebrity gossip. I find out too much just from ancillary sources. If I actually paid attention, the only show I’d ever be able to watch would be _Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood_. And I number among the vast, vast, vast majority of fathers who would never, ever dream of doing this to his daughter (who is now an adult). ---

So, this [del]twerp[/del] father thinks that dragging his daughter in for such a check once a year is beneficial? Hah! I guess he’s never heard of hymen reconstruction surgery. ---
