Hopefully, all the women attending the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida have remembered to pack their rape whistles and their mace, and have thoroughly memorized the launch codes for Akin’s Total Uterine Shutdown Mode in case of any attempts at Legitimate Rape should occur.
If they are unsure if a rape attempt is Legitimate and sympathy worthy, or as Illegitimate and scorn-worthy as a Brangelina Baby, here’s a little ditty to clear things up for them :
Are we clear, Republican ladies??????
THAT’S THE ATTITUDE YOU ARE THROWING YOUR VOTES BEHIND.
Thankfully, there are people like the Renegade Raging Grannies who aren’t just going to sit back and take it.
I LOVE THEM.
I love the first song the best – but the raging grannies kind of get their rage right out there.
Paul Ryan informs us that rape is “just another method of conception”.
Which pretty much clears up his position on the age old question men love to ask themselves, “what are women for?”
It’s funny because as a guy many right wingers that I know of are the smarmy guys that you know are destined to be charged with date rape. So it makes sense that these guys as hard core misogynists (I don’t know why more people don’t read up on authoritarian studies, these studies just DEFINE them in every way) would attempt to weaken the definition of rape. I’ve also noticed a lot of right wingers seem to be really hostile toward psychology…not as hostile as scientology but close. There are just far too many similarities between Christian fundamentalists and ‘evil’ Islamic fundamentalists to ignore…and religious bread misogyny is one of the strongest similarities.
On to the topic, but have you seen anything about the personhood fight in Mississippi? These guys cannot go 5 minutes without fucking contradicting themselves: fat Mike Huckabee had this disturbing “conceived in rape” tour trying to guilt people into thinking rape babies are as Sharon Angle said “just making lemonade from lemons”. So which is it, douchecanoes? If most women who claim rape aren’t raped as you argue, what’s this “conceived in rape” shit? Of course, fat Mike Huckabee and just about every one of the rape redefiners are guys except for principally Bachmann-Palin underdrive. We all know why Bachmann is, she’s probably gone 30 years without being laid or however long she’s been married to her ridiculously gay husband and Palin the griftress just wants more money from gullable evangelicals. Maybe the next time Bristol gets trashed, passes out and some greasy guy has his way with her without consent (hah!) momma grifta will reconsider that stance. Yeah, that’ll happen as soon as conservative grow souls and are capable of caring about anyone but themselves…
Amen to that.
Of course their base does not question their flawed logic because “ZOMG!,he said it while quoting the bible so it MUST be true!!!”.
Is it any wonder these people are so anti-science/education???
If they keep the base stupid, they can keep saying asinine shit like this and get away with it…..how can you argue about how the uterus functions if you barely know what one IS???
If you want to read up on authoritian studies check out a book by Robert Altemeyer who has studied the rightwing and evangelicals since 1966. John Dean used his studies for his book “conservatives without conscience”. Altemeyer has made his book available FREE ONLINE. it is frightening, please check it out.
