SHOULD LADIES CARRY CONDOM?

Now don't get me wrong! I ain't trying to be obscene. I just saw a poll on a blog site where the subject question was asked and it has really got me thinking.
Should ladies not carry condoms along with them just as they carry along their lips gloss, combs, eyeliners, hankies, extra panties and sanitary pads wherever they go? More so, when they go visiting their lovers, or when they go out to hang-outs like clubs, swimming pools or parties where the propensity for things to snowball to a steamy, quickie tryst may between them and some good looking guy is high?
In today's world where sex is now the most available commodity after air and water, I think I agree with the 77% of the respondents polled who answered in the affirmative that ladies should carry a pack or two of the contraceptive with them wherever they go.
My reason is based on these facts:
1. There are too many STIs these days and unlike men whereby the symptoms can show up after a few days, these infections can stay unnoticed in females. And yes, AIDS is real!
2. In the heat of the moment, all else in a man's brain is Greek! So prior to the build of emotions, it is believed that ladies are still sane enough to regulate the drama by insisting on the randy fellow to dorn on his 'raincoat'!
3. What is all this talk about women liberation and gender equality if it is not backed up by the ladies taking up a little more responsibility? Sure enough, it can't be said that a woman who decides to be more careful is any more 'adventurous' than her counterpart who is less circumspect, so my take is that carrying some 'safety boots' is simply a case of doing one's self a favour.
4. The 9-month call is really a lady's call. Yeah, right! We have all heard of love-gone-sour stories that spring up as soon as a lady announces to a man she had a rump with that she is pregnant, right? Well, as much as people say that condoms are not a 100% guarantee against unwanted pregnancy, there is empirical proof that it reduces its occurrence by over 50%! Is that not a big percentage to wager a CD bet on?
So, maybe it is worth debating or running that poll again so that we can really ascertain whether or not it makes sense for our ladies to 'help' us carry condoms but till I get your comments, I say.....have an STI free week, friends!
