Un-funny shirts and transparent woman-hate

You know, I’m aware that gross people can make all sorts of ridiculous things on Cafe Press, but this struck a cord with me. Because it’s so telling. The vitriol directed at Hillary Clinton’s run is so mired in misogyny that it’s exhausting just keeping track of it all. But I think the message on this shirt gets to the heart of those who are so incredibly incensed that a woman (and a powerful woman, at that) would have the audacity to run for president: It’s not enough to say that she shouldn’t run–she should be killed. And not just killed, but murdered via domestic violence. If that’s not fucking transparent, I don’t know ...

If your hymen could be gift-wrapped, what would the bow look like?


You know, sometimes they just make it too easy. The charming picture above is a billboard from CoolVirginity.com, a project of yet another crisis pregnancy center.
Also from the site: “Abstinence helps to ensure a more successful future, avoid STDs and to avoid possible life-long dependency on the welfare system.” And here I thought it was the lack of well-paid jobs that make women poor–turns out it’s just the absence of a hymen. (Does that mean if I get hymen restoration surgery that my income will magically increase? Nice!)
But seriously, I just lurve the idea that these folks think that promoting sexuality and women’s bodies as a gift is a fantastically moral ...

A little anti-choice paternalism to start your morning (as good as coffee!)

Jamie Lynn Spears must be so pleased that her decision to have a baby meets with the approval of a republican presidential hopeful that she’s (likely) never met.

“Apparently, she’s going to have the child, and I think that is the right decision, a good decision, and I respect that and appreciate it,” [Mike Huckabee] told CBS News.
“I hope it is not an encouragement to other 16-year-olds who think that is the best course of action. But at the same time I’m not going to condemn her…”

You know, unless she decided to have an abortion. Then I’d call her a sinning whore. I realize that Spears herself has made her pregnancy public (though given her celebrity ...

Quick Hit: PETA still unbelievably sexist.

The Philippines Bureau of Customs seized several sex dolls from PETA, who have been using the dolls to protest against KFC in Thailand, Japan and the red light districts of the Philippines with a banner reading, “KFC Blows.”
Wow.

A very scary Christmas.

I’m sure it was just lovely for two Planned Parenthood clinics in Albuquerque to be attacked on Christmas Day. One office’s roof was set afire and the other’s windows were broken into.
This is just weeks after a fire at another abortion clinic. There’s an ongoing investigation; let’s hope they find the culprits.
Check out Cecile Richards’ statement.

A not-so super man.

The producer of Superman Returns (of all movies) is being sued by two women for sexual discrimination and harassment.
The most recent case was made by a couple who worked for Jon Peters; when informing Peters of her pregnancy, he recommended she have an abortion or her husband would be fired, in which he was shortly after she refused.
The other pending lawsuit was filed in 2005 when an office assistant claims she was harassed daily and physically threatened by Peters.
What a guy.
