Here's something not about video games

The whole fight over contraception has exposed a lot of ugly bullshit, which is actually great. Because sunlight is a great disinfectant, and too long have the same resentments and misogynist undertones been circling without full exposure. It's hard to take a lot of the time, especially when legislatures controlled by a) men and b) Republicans get to change laws that no one asked or wanted them to change. But I have to remember that this sort of thing exposes them for the ignorant assholes they are.

To whit: Responsible women shouldn't be having sex. No really, that's what some asshole in North Carolina said to justify turning down funds for family planning. Because sluts, you know:

Chairman Ted Davis said he thought it was a sad day when "taxpayers are asked to pay money for contraceptives" for women having sex without planning responsibly.

Call me a sex-crazed feminazi (thank you!), but I thought taking contraceptives was planning for responsibly for women having sex. There's a better quote where someone else says something to the effect of lamenting all the sex these women are having (presumably not within ten feet of him, seeing as he's a lady-boner-killer), but the one I've highlighted above was the most hilarious to me.

Someone on Bill Maher's show suggested that women do exactly what these men want--women should just stop having sex with them, Lysistrata-style until they back the fuck off. I know it would hurt some women not to be able to get their itches scratched (except the lesbians and bi-ladies; they can go to town). I think, therefore, we should mandate taxpayer-funded vibrators for all women until such time as we stop fighting the battles of yesteryear for women's rights.

Thank god for hulu. Now I can watch only the funny bits of SNL, which I will need to tide over the sex-crazed feminazi ban on hetero-normative sex!

Well, that and porn. Until the feminazis come for it.

Oh, your XXXTube is not safe, my friend. But it won't disappear entirely. More, if women get their hands on it, it will feature almost exclusively slash fanfiction. HA HA HA!

NOOOOO-wait, are you limiting "slash fanfiction" to the yaoi variety?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Whatever makes our male oppressors suffer more, I guess.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO-wait, most actors in gay porn are actually straight. Which means that they'll be affected by the ban as well.

SOLUTION! Brothers, we have but one course before us! We must ban sex with other straight men for cash until women stop their ban first! Until they accede to our demands, the only people having sex in America will be real gay people!

We're through the looking glass here, people.

*slow clap while choking on drink*

Most gay porn involves straight men? That seems ... counter-intuitive.

It's a numbers game, really, and it's not especially different from lesbian porn in that regard. Homosexual scenes pay a lot more (for guys, we're talking orders of magnitude here) than straight scenes for both genders.

If you're a straight male porn star who isn't bothered by homosexual sex, just not aroused by it...well, they have a pill for that.

Besides the numbers game, there's also certain folks who manage relationships around porn that way. Jenna Jameson stopped shooting pornos with any man other than her husband and did a lot more female-female porn after she got married.
