Remind me to quit clicking links in the Gaybortion-o-sphere; it only gets me into trouble. Speaking of trouble, ladies, don't get into it. Don't get into trouble. You know, "trouble." In other words, keep your fucking legs closed, slut. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Get it? It's a joke, only it's not, but it is, but it's a good joke because the underlying message is good and TRUE, dammit. Why can't you sluts just keep your legs closed?! Mark Steyn likes the Aspirin joke because it's not a joke to him. And if you find it deeply misogynistic, too bad for you, slut.
These are lines about societal views of sex, and, while they’re certainly “antiquated” (in Michael’s word), the response to Mr Friess suggests an attempt to criminalize not the gag so much as the attitude underlying it.
Criminalize it? Oh, if only, Neckenbeardensteyn. Yes, obviously a lot of slutty people--for the purposes of this entry we'll call them "women"--find it goddamn offensive. Because what it implies is that if women have consequence-free sex, they are sluts, which in Chunkyneckbeardshire is the worst thing you can be. Are you a liar? S'okay. Are you a hypocrite? Grand! Are you a chunkyneckbearded bully? Throw this man a ticker-tape parade!
"Where the slutty Hobbits at?!"
A woman Neckenbeardensteyn wishes all the sluts women of the world emulate? The one who said this:
All that Swinging Sixties. It didn’t do anyone any good, did it?‘Easy sex and the Pill. Marriages were ruined. I never did approve. I never really enjoyed the sex.’
I think it's the idea that some woman somewhere is enjoying sex that really shrivels the wingnut-o-sphere's already shriveled Cheetos dust-covered penises. Women are not entitled to sexual fulfillment, full-stop. I'd like to comment on what residents of Chunkyneckbeardshire think about male sexual fulfillment. Oddly, they never discuss it. It's almost as if a man's sexual health and fulfillment are not subjects are that up for debate. I wonder why, especially since so many of these cretins seem to think men are little more than primeval rape-machines.
I demand that we start imploring the residents of Rapingshire to...oh, I don't know..."tuck it in" or "slap it down" or "hack it off with an ax, if it gets too uppity." You know, UPpity. Come on, THAT'S FUNNY. Or, we could all move to Actlikeanadultown and recognize that people are sexual beings and provide them with the proper reproductive care.
PS--I know Thers already touched on this, but it made me so angry, I wanted to address it, too, only with long, winding sentences that may or may not make sense.
