You don't have to be a part of any political party to know that sex is natural, and not a right bestowed upon us by the Bible for just making babies.
Freedom...with limits: And what about couples who prefer to go childless.
To conservatives, sex is dirty without pregnancy. It's not natural to have sex without babies, because the Bible says so I guess. And we are a Christian nation so it makes sense. Sex without babies is a recreational "lifestyle choice," "purely elective," and not natural:
Right wing Tweets say as much, from Raw Story:Peggy Hamill, State Director of Pro-Life Wisconsin: "The Obama administration's decision to grant entitlement status to contraception is thoroughly ideological. It is not medical. Pregnancy is not a disease. Fertility is a natural state - it is not a health impairment to be treated medically with birth control. Birth control to prevent pregnancy is not health care - it's a lifestyle choice. Accordingly, government should not force insurance companies, businesses and individual policy holders to cover or pay for drugs and devices that are purely elective."
Ecstatic at the belief that stupid sluts (“Slut”in conservative parlance=anyone who has sex on purpose while female) are getting punished, they went to Twitter. I collected some tweets and some of the general arguments being floated on Storify. A big theme was the idea that sex is not a normal part of human life, but some grotesque, exotic, shameful behavior that no proper woman would dare engage in.
The comments are such a tell. Those people aren't repressed misogynists, NOOOOOO, of course not.

I love stuff like this. Thanks for your revision of a time I grew up in and experienced, along with my older sister who was activist in the movement). I'll ask her about her CIA ties and if she regrets the rights and independence the movement brought about, knowing the CIA duped women.
ReplyDeleteWe've all been duped. But a family used to be able to own a house, a car, etc. on a single parent income. Now it takes two incomes or even more.
ReplyDeleteParents used to actually do something called parent. Now they just drop them off or plop them down in front of the video games.
