HPV vaccine is slut serum, says IWF.

As an update to Madeline’s post on the CDC’s recommendation of the HPV vaccine to young girls, we’re not surprised to find that the Independent Women’s Forum thinks this attempt to eliminate the disease will only trigger a much more serious epidemic: slutosis.
Fuck saving women’s lives, we need to save these girls’ souls! Barf. This argument is baseless. When I went to the doctor for shots when I was young, I didn’t know or care what the hell it was for; all I knew is that it hurt like a mofo. What do they think the doctor’s going to do, give her a condom instead of a lollipop when she leaves the office?
Thanks ...

Here’s a new one

The anti-choice (pro-crazy) group Operation Rescue purchased a Kansas building that housed a clinic–and then they evicted them.

The anti-abortion group has evicted the clinic and plans to renovate the building for use as its headquarters and a memorial display, said Cheryl Sullenger, Operation Rescue spokeswoman.


The clinic was only one of two women’s health centers that provide abortions in Wichita. Fuckers.

MN gives millions to anti-choice “crisis pregnancy centers�

This is pretty fucked up.
It looks like Minnesota is going to be giving a shitload of money to the same “crisis pregnancy centers� that others are trying to regulate due to false advertising and scare tactics that intimidate women into not having abortions.
Tomorrow, a number of groups and clinics that specifically aim to steer women away from abortion will begin receiving $4.75 million from the state over the next two years. This is a part of the “Positive Alternatives Act� that was passed last year.
In the meantime, funding for family planning (which includes abortion services) is going down. And fast.

It’s time for…

Dumb “women” headlines of the day!
When I search for articles pertaining to women, I find a number of stories that have humorous, sexist, and/or dumb headlines that I feel like are too humorous, sexist and/or dumb not to share with others. Here are my three favorite of the day:
“Flip-Flops Damaging To Women’s Careers”
(Fuck the glass ceiling, flip-flops are ruining us all!!!)
“Men’s and women’s tastes in food surprisingly similar”
(I thought women only like quiches and men only like pork chops!)
“Even skinny blonde women need love”
(Self-explanatory.)

The pro-life prince charming has arrived.

You have got to see this.
Jill at Feministe uncovered one of the eeriest (and most hilarious) anti-choice projects I’ve encountered, and it’s called “Grooms for Life.â€? It essentially pairs single pregnant women with anti-choice bachelors who are willing to marry them and be their baby’s daddy. After all, women wouldn’t have abortions if men were willing to marry them! My favorite line:

“female pro-lifers and married men could spend their time recruiting bachelors to their cause so that the screaming demonstrators outside abortion clinics would soon be replaced by swains in bow ties, holding rings and serenading the pregnant women.�

Not too creepy.
The one thing I do give these crazies props for is the upfront ...

First round on the runway.

With the U.S. Women’s Open kicking off today, it looks like there’s a new theme that’s attracting the audience this year: fashion. Ooh ooh, I got a joke. What does fashion have to do with golf? Nothing, but we’re talking about women’s golf, silly!
While I’ve always personally wanted an excuse to wear argyle socks (and don’t you just love the word “knickersâ€?), this new style of fashion described is not-so-original and a wee “slutifiedâ€? — the three descriptors from the article that stand out in my mind are “mini-skirts,â€? “tight topsâ€? and “pink.â€? (There’s also the “funky headscarves,â€? but that’s more cheesy than anything.)
Don’t get me wrong; I love short, tight gear and rock it all ...
