…I could swear that over the past year or so news have become more depressing than ever.
I don’t know, have you ever been to/gotten to use a kitchen with granite countertops? They are amazing and stupidly expensive and I want them someday when I make all my millions…
That Michigan thing, I just… argh! One (male) lawmaker who censured her said that he’d never consider saying such a thing “in mixed company”. And these are the people who are legislating how sex ed goes? No wonder there are so many pregnant teens in the US.
I love that the retaliation has been to send tweets, emails, etc. with as many instances of the word vagina as possible.
Also I suspect that vagina itself was not the culprit but the fact that she said “my vagina.” Cause vaginas are  fine as a amorphous concept, but when someone admits to having one, whelp that’s just rude.
I think you’re absolutely right. Especially when we’re talking about people who don’t even like saying the word “vagina” (If I hear something like va-jay-jay one more time, I will throw something!).
Ha… Yea. I loved the bit where Mike Callton said it was something he wouldn’t want to say “in front of women.” Fer serious? Us poor delicate womens can’t handle hearing about what the doctors call the weird stuff between our legs? I just… Really? AAAAAAHHHH!
It’s just jaw-dropping. Undemocratic or not, I don’t think it’s too much to ask that we automatically decree people who aren’t mature enough to be comfortable with discussing human genitalia in proper medical terms, unfit for public office.
