Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

The revolution will be supervised.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

“But what about the lurkers?”

I was promised a recession.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

I predicted a freak-out about Plan B, but I didn’t think it would be this funny:

So guys, if you screw a 17-year-old and “forget” to use a condom, remember: Nothing says “thanks a lot, you cheap whore” like the gift of Plan B!

Alternately, your readers could stop screwing minors.

    Ahhh, the old “respect” canard. K-Lo tried this one a few months ago, resulting in much unintended lulz when she basically admitted she was a permavirgin.

    Dork, I believe the plan is to sell it over the counter, so the answer would be yes. They also sell tampons to guys, and condoms to gals.
    Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t R.S. McCain anti-choice, and of the opinion that your paramour should be forced to carry to term? And that’s not starting with all those religious nuts who oppose the pill, let alone those who fulminate against all forms of birth control …

    And alternatively alternatively, you could be a 17-year old who wants to have sex with another 17-year old and not think of her as a cheap whore!

    What a staggering douchebag this guy is. And typical for the assholes on the right.

    Plan B is a pretty clever name actually, because sometimes, in passionate/intimate moments, Plan A goes out the window. It’s not optimal, but it shouldn’t torpedo your life.

    2. We will not help prepare women for those difficult situations by teaching them the facts on sex and birth control.

    3. We will not support ending unwanted pregnancies-no matter what.

    4. We will not support and provide opportunities to the women we refused to educate or allow to end their pregnancies.

    How do they convince themselves?

    Finally, and I know this will produce gasps of astonishment from you feminists: Men and women are not “equal,” in the sense of being identical and therefore fungible.

    That’s the second erudite conservative I’ve heard use the word “Fungible” in the last 8 months. The Other?

    Oil and coal? Of course, it’s a fungible commodity and they don’t flag, you know, the molecules, where it’s going and where it’s not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it’s Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It’s got to flow into our domestic markets first.

    Methinks there is something clinical in their shared fractal wrongness.

    This is no defense of McCain’s idiotic hyperbole regarding use Plan B drug, but as far as the FLDS raids were concerned, there’s quite a few liberal bloggers-at least down here in Texas-who wouldn’t really disagree with his position on that. So as far as criticisms of his view on women go, his view on those raids isn’t something that I’d include.

    For some reason what I’m stuck on here is the practical issues. The author seems to be objecting to the availability of Plan B to 17 year olds without a prescription. But then he also seems to be suggesting the man will be buying the Plan B. If that is the case, then why does it matter how old the person who will be taking the Plan B is? As far as I’m aware men over 18 were allowed to buy Plan B without a prescription even before the rule change.

    I’m also slightly startled by the author’s strangely specific instructions on how to seduce a 17-year-old.

    Most of the relevant points have already been covered in this thread. Still, it seems worth noting that RSM is confusing “whore” with “slut”. This is a distinction he should probably get clear in his own mind before he lands himself in one of many easily-imagined forms of trouble.

    He says:

    First, I am anecdotally acquainted with specific examples of how guys are using Plan B in exactly the way described: “Hey, I don’t have to use a condom! Just take her to the CVS in the morning and dose her with the ‘morning-after pill,’ and I’m off the hook!” And their partners feel demeaned by this treatment: “Wow, he really doesn’t want to risk a permanent commitment with me, does he?”

    Translation: He’s talking to other guys who can’t get laid unless they get some girl liquored up enough to not remember what happened the night before.

    The bigger question is this: Why does a girl who decides to use contraception (either after or before sex) have to be a whore? Why does she have to be a whore at all?

    Further more, has this idiot not considered the fact that not only cheap whores whose dumb ass sex partner “forgot” to put on a condom use Plan B. I’ve known married women who used Plan B because they skipped a few bc pills and wanted to be extra cautious. I’ve known ppl in LT stable relationships who just really didn’t want to get pregnant.

    Also: What separates an 17 y/o using Plan B as a “cheap whore” from the 18 y/o?

    Me thinks that he thinks that all women, regardless of whatever age, who have sex to recreational purposes are “cheap whores”. Indeed, that’s a fundamental pillar in their ideology.

    !!!!! My jaw just hit the ground. The notion that young women PREFER to have the risk of pregnancy every time they have sex, in order to ensure commitment, is insane. The idea that the only thing that would ensure a permanent commitment is a pregnancy is insane. The idea that, conversely, a man wanting to prevent an unplanned pregnancy automatically DOESN’T want a commitment is insane. This dude fails at logic like nobody’s business.

    It’s a shame he’ll never be able to know that women don’t take the morning-after pill for fun, and that nobody would routinely take it, since IME, pretty much nobody likes spending three days with one’s head over the toilet, getting one’s period suddenly, and that gut-wrenching interval of time where one is thinking, “Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, is this actually going to work, or not?” I’d really enjoy it if he could. I’m not one of these nice liberals, and I figure antifeminist stupid should hurt as much as possible.

    Tangentially, I don’t see why anyone who was okay with the sale of condoms wouldn’t be okay with the sale of Plan B, since all Plan B is, is a chemical condom for women. If you’re a woman and you haven’t already ovulated, taking Plan B will ensure that you don’t suddenly wind up with female gametes in your reproductive tract that you don’t want there . If you have already ovulated — and there’s usually no way to be sure — taking Plan B pretty much ensures that you’ll wind up pregnant, because it contains the exact same hormone compound they give to women who’ve just had IVF, to increase the chances that their pregnancies will “take.” I have to chalk up lingering resistance, then, to a wingnutty belief in Sperm Magic™, misogyny, the idea that Plan B is an “abortion pill” (not even close), or some or all of the above.

    Looking at it from a mother’s perspective, I’m a little torn on this. On the one hand, if Plan B keeps even one teenage girl from an unwanted pregnancy, that’s good. On the other hand, my kids couldn’t get medical attention without my permission, sans an emergency, while under 18, and this is a medication with some adverse possible side effects. Heck, as minors they couldn’t even purchase certain over-the-counter cold medications.

    When I was 21, and my girlfriend (now my wife) was 20, we had a condom break. Planned Parenthood and Plan B were our only recourse. We’d been safe, we were responsible, and yet shit happened.

    The hell with anyone who would have mandated we have a child because of a bad batch of polyurethane.

    The notion that young women PREFER to have the risk of pregnancy every time they have sex, in order to ensure commitment, is insane. The idea that the only thing that would ensure a permanent commitment is a pregnancy is insane.

    Here’s a perspective to consider: speaking as a woman who has used abortion (long ago, at this point) more than once due to failed barrier methods (sponge, diaphragm) and an inability to tolerate Teh Pill, I almost fell off the couch one night back in the late 90s when I realized that had I chosen not to terminate, those men would probably still be in my life, simply because we’d comingled genetic material and created a life that we were now both responsible for.
    Shudder.

    @Mary-A:

    You forgot:

    5. We will provide as little support in the way of job training and day care to the women who gave birth to children they didn’t want

    6. We will justify this by citing their “bad choices” (all the choices we made for them after that don’t count)

    7. We will talk incessantly about the ethics of abortion, but not even consider that there might be ethical pitfalls to adoption (boy howdy, that’s a big one, too)

    8. We will refer to all of this as “equality of opportunity,” because “Junior Anti-Sex League” isn’t quite Orwellian enough (despite being, you know, ripped straight out of Orwell).

    @JR:

    Precisely. I was 21 I think when my boyfriend and I had a condom break. I was on the Patch at the time, but I went and got Plan B anyways just to be safe. And whether it be due to the Patch working correctly, or to the birth control I was on, I didn’t get pregnant (much to my boyfriend’s relief).

    I did post in that douchebag’s comment section. I also noticed that some people commenting on his post seemed to think that his writing was satire. Did anyone here think it was satire?

    @Laura W: But Laura W., no female would ever voluntarily have sex with a man she didn’t want to spend the rest of her life with! Right? RIGHT???

    @Laura W. –

    I’m sorry that you have ever had to face that decision. It probably wasn’t easy. No matter where anyone lies on the issue, it is not an easy decison to make and it’s something you never forget.

    @Church Lady: I appreciate your empathy but I always knew I didn’t want kids, so I was more upset that the “preventive” methods available to me at that time were so ineffective and that I was apparently as fertile as a rabbit.

    I had the good fortune to have a health insurance plan that offered voluntary sterilization for a $5 co-pay. A tubal ligation was my 30th bday gift to myself. I don’t ever dwell on it or regret a thing. As I said, I feel relieved that the men involved are no longer in my life solely out of some sense of shared “duty” that outlived (interesting word choice) whatever relationship we had at that time.

    Well, R.S. McCain’s from Georgia. Sixteen won’t get you twenty there … and when ol’ R.S. was 18, fourteen wouldn’t either. He may well have been brought up to think of a 17-year-old as a old maid.

    If the girl’s a whore for her willingness to have casual sex with you, what does that make you for your willingness to have casual sex with her?

    OK, so the term “whore” isn’t so neatly symmetrical here, but that hardly means there isn’t an apt answer: a complete ass-hole jerk.
