2wolves: MeinRS6: It wasn't that she said the word "vagina". It was because of the entire sentence that she said in reference to the Speaker.

She made her little biatchy comment and is now biatching that she got her hand slapped. The Constitution remains safe for now.

You still get to sit at the children's table during Thanksgiving don't you.

Not since his second appearance on To Catch A Predator, he's not.

Whatever, I have very little sympathy for her because of the glaring double standard here. I mean, I met a girl the other day and we hit it off pretty well. I made a few moves but she said she was a lesbian. I told her to give me 5 minutes with her vagina and I'd change that. She slapped me! You biatches are never farking happy.

Shaggy_C: Lionel Mandrake: Does the topic being discussed involve women and their vaginas?

It amuses me to no end that you people think a uterus, a fetus, and a vagina are all the same thing.

*takes notes*

Well THIS would certainly explain what I've been doing wrong!

The My Little Pony Killer: cmunic8r99: Quasar: "If that is the problem, really ... If you can't talk and you can't talk and you can't use the word 'vagina' - why are you legislating about vaginas?"

High five.

twice.

Three times.

...a lady...

Fark, link died. Let's try that again...

Sabyen91: sgnilward: Lionel Mandrake: Oh my god I f*cking hate Republicans.

WTF is wrong with you assholes?

Very succinct, welcome to the favs list.

Maybe she COULD have used a better term, may I suggest one of these?

[feministing.com image 640x645]

Cradle of Filth? Another reason to like that band.

They actually got me through some pretty bleak times. The track Coffin Fodder sounds horrible, but it's actually quite beautiful.

You know what I'd like to see here? During the next session, one of the sane male reps should stand up, say "VAGINA" and sit back down. I'm curious as to what the dumbasses would do.

/Has this been asked already?
//Too many pages, too many beers.

Bucky Katt: MeinRS6: You guys have certainly covered yourselves in weak sauce for this thread.

Well done.

hitting the sauce again are you?

He actually rubbed the sauce all over himself and then set his bijon frise free and said "It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again".

/Weird, I know.

Genevieve Marie: Yup, that's pretty much what misogyny looks like.

When men are totally comfortable with legally regulating our bodies and yet so uncomfortable when we talk about them that they have to shut us up, that's misogyny. It's ugly, it's infuriating, and it's a pretty good example of the political realities for women in this country right now.

It's actually frightening, and it probably affects us more than most of us even talk about. Some of these bans... they make me think twice about ever having children, because I don't ever want to be pregnant under these laws.

Shaggy_C: Oh, Mein, thanks for the TF! I will try not to abuse the privilege :D

MeinRS6: MorrisBird: MeinRS6: She made her little biatchy comment and is now biatching that she got her hand slapped. The Constitution remains safe for now.

You really don't get it, do you? My condolences, my friend.

Get what? She was free to make her biatchy comment and the Speaker was free to give her a little slap on the wrist. Big whoop.

But it's stupid to pretend that this is because she said the word "vagina".

Oh, you're right about that. It's because the speaker's a cross dressing control freak with vagina envy. Just like every other anti-choice man on the planet.

Y'all aren't using the proper terminology. Observe:
---------------------------------------------

MeinRS6: This lying coont is going down hard in Nov.

The media can say that it is neck and neck all they want, but it will be just like when Walker rolled over the libby darling in Wisc.

---------------------------------------------

I read the headline in his voice:

This article doesn't include my favorite associated quote, from Rep. Mike Callton: "What she said was offensive. It was so offensive, I don't even want to say it in front of women. I would not say that in mixed company." Presumably because he wouldn't want to offend us ladyfolk and our delicate sensibilities.

From this point forward, the vagina shall be known as the happy abortion hole.

In order to insure that this is upheld, I purpose the "Happy Abortion Hole Amendment".

The word itself makes some men uncomfortable.

We're sexist for pointing out their sexism.

StormnMormon: I'm a little late to this party, but according to the Gawker article it says

" Concluding a speech protesting the legislation, Brown said, "And finally, Mr. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested my vagina, but 'no' means 'no.'" The remark led to an uproar, and Brown was gaveled out of order for "comparing the abortion legislation to rape," according to House GOP spokesman Ari Adler."

So i'm thinking she got gaveled for saying anyone who disagrees with her is a rapist, not because she said the word vagina.

Even if we allow for that deliberately retarded interpretation of her comments, it still doesn't make sense. Would someone be similarly censored for, say, comparing a particular tax policy to theft, or for comparing a particular foreign policy approach to giving support to terrorists?

Nina_Hartley's_Ass: At least we all agree the GOP again look like troglodytes telling women to shut up while men are talking.

Amazing.

The important thing to remember is that whether it's Rush Limbaugh calling a Congressional witness a slut for discussing the cost and necessity of contraceptives, Republican Representative Nan Hayworth's office stating that acid should be thrown on the faces of females in favor of equal pay, or censuring the only female representatives in the Michigan State legislature over their objections in an abortion debate, any notion of a "War on Women" is entirely unsupported by facts.

This is not an Israel thread. Why is that dumbfark trolling it?....oh! He logged into the correct account this time.

Cataholic: Tell you what. Go to your job tomorrow and use the word "vagina" a few times so that everyone hears it. Let's see how that works out for you.

Tell you what. Go to your job tomorrow and start having an abortion debate so that everyone hears. Let's see how that works out for you.

MeinRS6: But that's just it. The issue isn't with the word vagina and has everything to do with context.

Yes, given the context of what was being discussed she was entirely justified to say what she did. What business does any government have telling a woman what she can or can't do with her reproductive system?

MeinRS6: Fark isn't a state house. You can hear the guy in the vid having to remind this twat to respect the decorum of the house. She didn't care about that. She thinks the rules don't apply to her. She is not interested in decorum. She wanted to get in her smarmy little comment and that's all she cared about. She was given a little reminder that the rules do apply to her and that she needs to watch her mouth and behave - JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER MEMBERS. She isn't a special snowflake. Fark her.

That's right. If the House Majority wants to fark with her rights to privacy and health, she should just lie back, and think of England, and say nary an unkind word, instead of raising her voice to the males in the house like some vulgar slattern.

Veloram: Sabyen91: So, talking about how the patriarchy is up in the vagina is like streaking down Pennsylvania avenue with a kielbasa crammed up your ass screaming about how it's time for tea with your hair tied up in bows? You don't much like women, do you?

Nice! I am actually quite impressed by your perversion of context. No, seriously. Golden.

Should she be banned from participating because some douchebag who is trying to get up in the vagina gets told he his getting up in the vagina?

Sabyen91: Oh, it was being rude? You wouldn't be here if that were a rule. Neither would I but that isn't my point. You think a state congress is made of sunshine and unicorn assholes? Some guy wants to get all up in her vagina (in a legal sense). She responded. They whined like biatches.

I love that the woman in this story has bigger balls than all of the men combined.

rosebud_the_sled: Wow, republicans are scared of the word vagina. They sure are scared of a lot of things like foreigners, science, knowledge, truth, other religions, loud noises. Is there anything republicans don't fear?

Are they all cowards?

As I recall, from my childhood, Americans aren't cowards. Does this mean that all republicans are un-American?

They aren't afraid of a good old American cock. They know exactly what to do with that.

/Hide the sausage.

Veloram: Retread her exact statement. The implications of her statement suggest that the speaker was coming on to her. If she would have said something to the effect of "you have no right to legislate over my, or other women's vaginas", then I think it would have been a bit more acceptable. It wasn't the word, it was the context. And while I agree that reproductive rights should not be tainted by laws of any sort, she was a bit over the top.

So, a bit over the top would mean...not allowing her to take part the next day? How scared of pussy are these guys?

We all love vaginas.

VAGINAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

Nothin could be finer
Than to be in a vagina
In the morning.


But there is a limit. As my wife works in the medical field we get invited to one of her friends housewarming parties, more of a dinner party. Anyhoo, turns out the friend was an Ob/Gyn and guess what all her other friends did. That's right they looked at vaginas all day long - things going in, things going out. So as we partake in our Hors d'oeuvres I point out that Hors d'oeuvre means literally "apart from the [main] work" - intriguing, yet fascinating dinner conversation, no. So one of the other guests whose husband is Ob/Gyn and also at the table say "speaking of work", go into graphic detail about the things they do with vaginas all day long (I'll spare you the grief but it invokes taking things out sewing parts back on etc.)

As an accountant I found this intriguing and yet horrifying at the same. Do you consider Gyn part an audit of vagina's if so is there SOX rules to follow? do you balance one side so as to match the other? etc.

Now they are having conversation about cervix's, superior part to uterine artery, middle and inferior parts to vaginal artery, labias, and floppy bits falling off the main course comes in and what is it??? A choice between moist thinly shaven roast beef and stuffed haddock because one of them was an almost vegetarian: didn't suck on meat and only ate fish.

I laugh to myself and verped (vomit burped) at the same time almost choking on my verp.


Too much talking about vaginas will kill you.

draa: LaViergeNoire: LaViergeNoire: anfrind: LaViergeNoire: PhiloeBedoe:The main problem is that by acknowledging that she has a vagina she made the men think of sex (a vagina is RIGHT HERE) when she was really making the point that the law would affect her and so she felt entitled to weigh in.

And it's her fault? Or better yet, she was the one who wasn't acting professional? And what the fark are they thinking of sex for when they are on the House floor? Goddamn dude, it's attitudes like that that piss people off. If they can't STOP thinking about sex then maybe they should get help instead of blaming women for defending their rights.

Let's have a burqa party!

The Why Not Guy: MusicMakeMyHeadPound: That's just, like, your opinion, man.

Ok, then school me. Which part did I get wrong?

Do you have Netflix?

MeinRS6: Shaggy_C: Oh, Mein, thanks for the TF! I will try not to abuse the privilege :D

I'm sure you'll be fine.

Don't let the Farklibs get you down. Laughing at them is too much fun.

This is amusing. There is no way THAT backfires.

Cinaed: Vagina is a distracting and uncomfortable word for Gays everywhere.

Wrong. As a gay man I find, while I have no particular interest in vaginas, I am more comfortable with their owners than most straight men.

MeinRS6: Wow. You guys are hopelessly retarded and partisan.

That's what she said! Oh, wait, no, she said vagina.

Wow. You guys are hopelessly retarded and partisan.

MusicMakeMyHeadPound: Aaaand now NewportBarGuy will forevermore show in a friendly and attractive shade of orange to me.

What NewportBarGuy may look like in real life.


/For realz.

So, it's because Republicans are thin-skinned pussies?

OK

Vaginas. Thin-skinned vaginas.

FirstNationalBastard: martissimo: Gwendolyn: Yeah I can't type on my iPad at all. I'm not sure why I try anymore or at least turn off the spelling helper.

I figured it out right after I quoted it and thought a bit more, but at first I thought you were saying she was dressed as some sort of oratory Pokemon character who mops floors while talking about her religion.

/I kinda liked the idea honestly

So... she was talking about the place from which she Squirtles?

Spit take.

Shaggy_C: Lionel Mandrake: Does the topic being discussed involve women and their vaginas?

It amuses me to no end that you people think a uterus, a fetus, and a vagina are all the same thing.

It's also amusing that you think a transvaginal ultrasound can be done without involving the vagina.

The Mavrick: Why do you have to lie?

If a Republican tries to tell the truth, they explode. It's a bit like when matter meets antimatter.

Mulva?

Cataholic: Lost Thought 00: Cataholic: Tell you what. Go to your job tomorrow and use the word "vagina" a few times so that everyone hears it. Let's see how that works out for you.

If you work at a doctors office, I'm sure that would be fine. Just I would expect it would be fine during a Congressional speech on abortion. In fact, it's nearly impossible to discuss abortion without discussing vaginas.

Of course...how in the world can you debate about abortion without telling someone to stay out of your vagina?

The abortion legislation du jour has been typically involved sticking an ultrasound wand up the cha-cha.. Which bothers some people enough that they have to whip out the capital 'V' word. The big one...V-A-G-I-N....I better not finish lest the moderators ban me....

At first it was inappropriate to use the word vagina at work. That didn't work, so now it's the phrase that was inappropriate.

Why do you have to lie?

mayIFark: Britney Spear's Speculum: nsfw

What is she writing?

A Vagina Monologue, obviously. In Japanese.

We object to the term "Urine-soaked hellhole" when you could have said "Pee-pee soaked heckhole."

Take it to the Satan Playground Monologues, you slattern!

"...whereas without batting an eye, he'll refer to his 'Dick', his 'Rod', his 'Johnson'."

/Do you like sex, Mr. Lebowski?

Vagina is a distracting and uncomfortable word for Gays everywhere.

Britney Spear's Speculum: nsfw

Now that's some serious kegel exercise right there...

LaViergeNoire: LaViergeNoire: anfrind: LaViergeNoire: PhiloeBedoe: I think it was her use of the word "my" rather than vagina. In the context she used she crossed a line.

"My hoo ha" or "my lady place" would have been preferable? I mean, the law would apply to her, too, specifically her vagina.

/Vagina

No, the thing is that you should never imply ownership of a vagina. It should always be "a vagina" or "the vagina", never "her vagina".

/or something like that

Maybe "this here vagina of mine".

I messed that up, with the ownership. How's this?

"And, finally, Mr. Speaker - I'm flattered that you're so interested in vaginas - I mean in general, not mine specifically - but no means no." I'm sure that wouldn't have bothered anyone.

The main problem is that by acknowledging that she has a vagina she made the men think of sex (a vagina is RIGHT HERE) when she was really making the point that the law would affect her and so she felt entitled to weigh in.

How dare a WOMAN interrupt those men when they were having a discussion of female reproduction issues?

Is she in jail? I hope she's in jail.
