Not Something I Expected to Write About

Nevermind how this crossed my path on the internet, but instead focus your mind on why the US government has an official position on douching.  That's right.  At www.womenshealth.gov ("empowering womem to lead healthy lives!"), you can find a "Douching fact sheet" with all sorts of helpful information.  In this day and age when one can find countless websites devoted to all manner of things, why are we as taxpayers spending money for the government to provide information (on douching!) that we can easily get from other places?  Might their time and our money be better spent elsewhere?  

Interestingly, there's no counterpart Men's Health website provided by the government. Instead, "Men's Health" is relegated to a sub-section of the Women's Health website.  I guess men don't have to worry about their health.
