Be Dangerous
Mar. 14th, 2012 10:31 pmRepublican men are afraid of me. No really. They are absolutely petrified of all five feet four inches of me. It's not the gay porn. At first, I thought it might be because... you know... I write it a lot. Except, it's probably not the gay porn.
Then I considered that it might be vagina envy. Republican men have spent a great deal of time, money, and effort lately attempting to legislate, control, dominate, and destroy women's rights on level that boggles my fucking mind. My husband says they want to control the pussy because they aren't attractive enough to get pussy without paying for it. In Rush Limbaugh's case--I'm sure that's entirely accurate. He's so damned ugly on the personality front that even if he looked like Hugh Jackman he wouldn't get laid without paying for it one way or another. (well, okay, he totally would if he looked like Hugh Jackman but he would have to keep his pie-hole shut the entire time!) Limbaugh is like the only guy who would be safe from "sexual overtures" in a Super Max Federal prison because even Bubba Joe St. Frances from Bumfuck, Mississippi couldn't be situationally gay enough to hit THAT. (Was that offensive? I bet one (or more) of you is glaring at your computer screen and thinking -- My God, Keira, that was a fucking horrible thing to say!)
Even if we allow that they want to control pussy because they can't get pussy and the frustration of that situation has all but forced them to lash out in very nonconstructive ways... it still doesn't explain the fear of my badassness.
Then, earlier today I went and got my mail. And inside my mail box was the answer to my puzzling dilemma. I received my updated voter registration card.
That's right.
Republicans fear me because I'm a SLUT WHO IS REGISTERED TO VOTE.
Go ahead, I dare you!
BE DANGEROUS.

Hell I am a registered slut as well and I am with you. I am voting this year, just like I did four years ago & I am *not* voting for a Republican. Those used douches have lost all respect from me.

Date: 2012-03-15 03:48 am (UTC)Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2012/03/08/for_women.html) wrote a blog entry on International Women's Day about this. She pointed out that giving women the freedom to choose means that they also have the freedom to choose to support something that we think is detrimental to women. And this worries me, because thanks to TruTV, I'm well aware that there are a lot of dumb people in the world.
Yes, I'm a SLUT and a registered voter -- for now at least, until the menfolk decide it's just too much responsibility for little old me.

Date: 2012-03-15 04:10 am (UTC)What boggles my mind is... the Republican party obviously has not figured out that women make up over fifty percent of the population in the U. S. And not all of them are Republicans, and not all of those who are Republican are in lock-step with the party. Seriously, why piss off the majority of the voting population unless you're trying to lose??
If only!
Nope, I'm registered to vote, too. Can't let down all the women who fought so hard to get me that right, you know? We've only had the right to vote for 91 years. Don't want it to get rusty or anything...

Date: 2012-03-15 04:48 am (UTC)Honestly, at one point in time, the Republican party was a decent group. They were started by abolitionists, and were completely against government mucking about in people's lives. And then, somewhere along the line, they all went insane! (I did my research). Honestly, the only person I want to vote for is Ron Paul, and in some of his ideas, he's looney tunes. Obama and I are quits. I detest how he's voted on certain bills, and some of the things he's done. All the other Republican nominees are............despicable. Hell, with it. I may just emigrate. Or vote for Mickey Mouse. Possibly Donald Duck.
My feeling on the vagina laws is if you don't have one, you don't get a vote, you don't even get to make legislation on it. Although, I think this is the best thing yet.http://jezebel.com/5893040/smartasses-deluge-pro+ultrasound-male-lawmakers-facebook-page-with-detailed-vagina-updates

Mostly, I ignore crazy American politics, but that Limbaugh guy totally made my jaw hang open in shock. Most unattractive!

Date: 2012-03-15 10:25 am (UTC)Yeah; a guy on Twitter summed up the #GOPplanforwomen:
"No sex ed. No birth control. Pregnant? No abortion. Have a kid? Stay home. No income? No assistance."
It kills me that a bunch of old white men (people that don't have a uterus or vaj of their own) think they have the right to tell me what to do with mine.
News reports are that women are fleeing the GOP vote in droves because of the Republicans' blatant sexism (like: even MORE than usually blatant).

Date: 2012-03-15 12:24 pm (UTC)thanks to the various posts from American friends on FB - I just found out that several of the Republican states now have it that a woman can be imprisoned for *murder* if she has a miscarriage or stillborn baby if they can find *any* way of accusing her of causing it (ie drinking/drugs/wearing a skirt above the knee I'd bet)
Also now in one place they are trying to make it that you have to prove you need the contraceptive pill for 'medical purposes' to keep your job!
See my 'medical' reason for not wanting a soon to be screaming parasite? - the fact I refer to a fetus as 'soon to be screaming parasite' may be a clue - I like kids just don't want one of my own, I like them aged 5 and up when they start being hilarious
Anyone who objects to women being allowed to control their own body should be forced to throw up once a day, beaten in the stomach for 6 months, made to carry a 15-20lb 'simulator' suit and then have a melon rammed whole into whatever orifice that comes to mind
Then they may appreciate it's not something you want to do every year or indeed ever in some cases

So if the mother's life is in danger she'd better hightail it another state if the bill passes.

I know one thing. If Rick Santorum is nominated and then elected I will know my country has died and I will leave the rotting corpse and move to Wales. I like Wales. Only spent 2 days there, but I really liked it.

I'm not frowning, I think it's fucking hilarious.
I live in the UK and have been following this crap on twitter between you and Martha Plimpton I've learned more than I think I wanted. I love the states and was always kind of jealous of the fact I didn't get to live there. But seriously all this shit is becoming kinda scary. I hope women stand up in November and show these morons exactly who's the boss!

Women's suffrage in the style of Lady Gaga! It is made of so much win, and seemed so appropriate to the topic of conversation. Dangerous voting sluts? That just means that we are doing it right!
Scary Times
Date: 2012-03-16 06:51 pm (UTC)Not confident that the Repubs wont get a lot of women voting for them. After all, there are women like Cindy McCain,who seem quite bright and feisty...but they're lifelong Repubs.Women often vote against their interests, it seems to me.Large tranches of women must have voted for W for him to be in power for 10 years.
And women politicians can be reactionary- Mrs Thatcher had NO interest in promoting women's causes, or even helping women in her own political party, for example.The demonizing of single mothers came to its height during her government.Yet I remember feminists here suggesting voting for her when she was first running for Prime Minister.I'm sure the Repubs have smarter versions of Palin and Bachman waiting in the wings.
I'm worried- when I hear the shit being said by Pols like Santorum- that the US could become a Theocracy. Afghanistan-Christian style-with-nukes.Because they hate the idea of the seperation of church and state- despite the constitution.In that regard, Mr Empty Suit Romney seems the best choice. He just..has no interest in those other than the rich. He could care less about women's bodies. He's into making the wealthy, wealthier. Whereas much of the Party is now ideologically driven.
On a happier note, I was never a big Julia Roberts fan. But I am now. She said “Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant.” WooHoo!
And George Clooney got arrested outside the Sudanese embassy, trying to bring attention to the genocidal dealings of that government. Something he's been doing for years (the man has rented a f***king satellite to monitor human rights abuses there!)
Re: Scary Times
Date: 2012-03-17 08:12 pm (UTC)I consider myself a Democrat philosophically, but I hate the way they implement their policies. I much prefer the way Republicans operate (not that I'm crazy about how ANY politician operates), but the intolerance I see in so many of them makes me want to scream. I'm registered Independent, but I'm wondering about changing just so I can weigh in on the current Republican idiocy.
