Remind them that that would make Rhett Butler a murderer and see how conflicted they get.

The impression I got from Talking Time's reaction was that it would make Scarlet O'Hara the murderer.

Oh.  Well they'd be okay with that, then.

Because she's a woman.




(Also, Scarlett O'Hara is a horrible person.  But that's rather beside the point.)

GOP State Rep - We have literally stopped abortion in Mississippi

Quote
They're like, 'Well, the poor pitiful women that can't afford to go out of state are just going to start doing them at home with a coat hanger.' That's what we've heard over and over and over.

But hey, you have to have moral values.

You left out the part after that where he tried to blame black people for his stupid remarks.

Because if there's one way to be CERTAIN a story will go away, it's having a YouTube video removed under spurious copyright claims.

DMCA, not Defense Contractor Management Agency.  Derp.

I work around the DCMA on a regular basis.

I believe that means they don't have to pay taxes any more.

On one hand, introducing troll legislation and making incendiary comments is usually a pretty good reason to ban a congressperson from speaking on the floor. However, considering the legislation they were trolling and the argument being (and always having been) about equality and women, I think maybe the michigan house needs to examine their decisions a little better. This is already a circus in the liberal blogosphere, if national news takes some time to do a story on it this is going to be very embarrassing for them.

You'd be surprised how often this happens.

I was mostly just playing a little bit of dangerously devil's advocate. I'd like to pretend that a body that is supposedly the height of professionalism is civil enough to recognize when somebody is too uncollected to be part of the proceedings, but the reality is that they just told her to shut up because they didn't want to hear a woman speak.

I think the faster we get rid of mccarthy-era congressmen the faster shit like this will stop cropping up in government. Fuck old people.

Here's the thing, though - dismissing it as a "troll argument" is missing the point completely, or rather, tripping right over it without even recognizing it.

Literally this is the womens' way of saying, "Guys, this is what you're talking about doing to us."  And instead of hearing it out, the men just gagged them.  The women didn't get to silence the men when they were talking about the same damned thing.

I am definitely not a fan of petty bullshit in politics and I'm not afraid to call people out on it, but really, this is what women have been reduced to now: trying desperately to show people how one-sided this argument is about who gets to tell who what they can and can't do with their own genitals.

It's mostly this that gives any benefit to the doubt:

Quote
. “I’m flattered that you’re all so interested in my vagina, but no means no,”

Which, while fucking hilarious is pretty goddamn inappropriate. But then again, so was telling a senator to go fuck himself, and nobody censored Dick Cheney. We're 100% in agreement on this. I'm really just discussing for the sake of discussion at this point.

So am I, in case that wasn't clear.  I think we've shifted the topic to "When is inappropriate floor behavior actually appropriate?"

The discussion itself usually is a sign that things have really broken down as far as civil discourse is concerned.

So much for that bipartisan feeling of approaching civil discourse when Gabby Giffords was shot.  You know, two years ago?
