Chelsea Handler is causing a stir online.
The 51-year-old TV host and acting star is trending for going topless in a promotional message for all U.S. men. Handler, while giving herself a mammogram, is urging all men to be more careful when it comes to birth control.
The comedian opened the video by giving herself a breast exam and referring to herself as “Chesty Handlerberg," before getting serious.
“As a woman with natural breasts—not that that has anything to do with this,” Handler jokes, “it is time to explore vasectomies.” The comedian goes on to explain the many reasons women shouldn’t be pressured into taking the contracentive pill or using long-acting devices such as IUDs.
“Do you know how painful it is to get an IUD placed? It feels like a mouse trap in your uterus, and sometimes those things don’t even catch all the mice,” she explained. “You think I want to be an adult woman with acne or have mood swings, or get a period that’s so heavy it feels like the Hoover Dam just broke? […] Everybody already hates women enough. I don’t need my insides to join in on the fun.”
She says it's simple.
"Vasectomies! One snip, and that’s it!" she wrote.

Some men are praising Handler for the video, too.
“I got one 10 years ago and it was one of the best decisions of my life. I was uncomfortable for a couple of days, but that’s about it," one wrote.
