Redheaded Stepchild: ... I feel like I'm in bizarro world. The more overtly sexist the Republicans become, the more offended Fark gets on behalf of women. Fark: the land of bitter divorced men, the place where biatches are only good for their foobies, and where women are seen as being both totally irrational and over-emotional but coldly calculating enough to use all men for their money...

I guess not all farkers are misogynistic. Or male.

FuturePastNow: Dinjiin: randomjsa: We should not have to pay for your sex. If you want to have sex, buy your own damn birth control.

By that logic, we should eliminate all income tax deductions for dependent children. We should also levy additional property taxes against families who have large numbers of children enrolled in public education. We should not have to pay for your children. If you want to have children, pay for it yourself. If you can't afford it, they will be placed for adoption.

I'm OK with this.


So when they grow up to be doctors and nurses you're ok with not being allowed access to their services.

randomjsa: This just in, Rush Limbaugh's comments were right.

We should not have to pay for your sex. If you want to have sex, buy your own damn birth control.

While you're at it, don't intentionally go to a school that doesn't offer student coverage of birth control then whine about that.


This Rush Limbaugh worship post brought to you by Fark's Premiere Cut and Run Coward

/should I use this for all replies to the little hatemonger? Or should I stick to continuing to bring up his public prayers for terrorist attacks to hit on Obama's watch?

Let the free market take him off the air. Boycott his advertisers and send them letters, tweets, etc.

Shut up, biatch, we're trashing a misogynist.

But seriously, white knights don't necessarily respect women and it's no surprise a guy sending half his check to his wife would favor readily available birth control.

Plus, not every guy here is a dick.

FuturePastNow: I'm OK with this.

I'm sure many people would be. But the last time I checked, working class Republicans tended to have more children than the national average average, especially if they are religious. Such a change would most likely affect them more than the so-called promiscuous liberals Limbaugh and his ilk are attacking.

It's not that complicated. I don't want kids of my own yet and I hate it when I'm on a plane or in a store and a woman has 4 screaming tard-minis running around like methhead Oompa Loompas.

I might want women to be able to have birth control because of selfish interests, but that doesn't mean I'm not on the right side of the argument.

JAYoung: you are a puppet: dogdaze: I just emailed Oreck Upright Vacuum Cleaners and told them that I am boycotting them until either they drop their advertising or Rush apologizes to all women, or as I call them, upright vacuum cleaners, for his sexist comments.

You want to really put the hurt on them, start a right-wing e-mail rumor that Oreck also manufactures vacuum abortion equipment.

"Hello to our friends and our new visitors! We appreciate your concern. We wanted to research and make sure we had as many facts as possible before responding so it took us a little while to respond. First, we do not support any derogatory comments to any person, female or male. Second, we do not advertise on Rush nor any other radio show; however, apparently a year or so ago we did some radio ads which may have aired on Rush as part of a broad media placement (we are looking into that); so, from what we can find out, we show up on some sort of sponsorship list that is not current (at least not with regard to us). Now, to be completely honest, it is possible (but unlikely) that one of the many hundreds of independent retailers who carry Oreck products and place their own local advertising ran a local radio spot that aired during Rush's show. We are still trying to find that out. But even if that occurred, we are certain that it was not intended to sponsor any particular political view and was definitely not intended to sponsor or support derogatory statements such as those made by Rush. Oreck has a long standing history of supporting women and many issues important to women. With that kind of history, we hope that we can get the benefit of the doubt. Thanks!"
