We are all sluts now*
Posted on March 4, 2012
*if by sluts you mean average women who use birth control for WHATEVER reason (which would be the business of a woman and her doctor), and would like health insurance companies to cover it exactly like men’s sexual health services are covered.
Regardless of what Limbaugh said in his backhanded apology, or what the righwing blogosphere is saying, or what the flunky Dittoheads argue, Sandra Fluke’s testimony wasn’t at all bizarre, she never mentioned her sex life, she WAS talking about a friend with cancer — and it’s all on tape – or you can read it. http://abcnews.go.com/images/Politics/statement-Congress-letterhead-2nd%20hearing.pdf
.............— Dittoheads who either want to defend Limbaugh’s lies or their own (by using arguments like those above), OR who want to argue that birth control shouldn’t be covered by health insurance (becauuusssee the EXPENSE! to every other insurance subscriber — that would be like paying women to have sex! OHNOES!!!) — okay, let’s talk about some things that health insurance DOES cover like health “problems” or “issues” associated with other people’s lifestyle choices / personal responsibilities:
1) Overweight people and all of their medical conditions and meds (why don’t they lose some weight?)
2)Drinkers, drug users, or smokers (hello, Rush Limbaugh?)
3) All of the olds who want their Medicare-paid Little Rascals (why can’t they use a walker or a wheelchair and save us ALL some money?)
4) Men with erectile dysfunction (it’s over, accept it)
5) Or people like Bristol Palin who don’t use birth control, have SEX, get pregnant, and make the rest of us absorb more insurance costs through our premiums for [a] her pregnancy, the birth, and [c] a new person’s healthcare for many years to come (Why couldn’t she have used BIRTH CONTROL? Because — by the way, and using the righwingnutosphere’s logic — if she would have used birth control it would have been so much cheaper for all of the other health insurance subscribers — it’s like everyone on her parents’ health insurance plan PAID HER TO HAVE SEX and then rewarded her for getting knocked up! Right, Rush?).

dropped their advertising. 
That was an unusual situation. I just tell my son to MAKE SURE he uses a condom EVERY time. Given that he's very aware of the consequences of being reckless, I'm fairly confident he'll get through college.
As for the conservative libido, I believe you're closer to the mark than you might think. I think that one of the problems conservatives have (not all, of course) is that they have a greater tendency for homo/bisexuality and pedo/paraphilias. Much of their hatred comes from the fear that society will reject them if their 'secret' gets out. It can grow into full-blown self-loathing too. I don't believe Rush went to the Dominican Republic to have sex with women. He can do as much of that here and in Las Vegas as he wants.
So the sheep remark may not be as far off as we might think.
i'm a fat slut.
I am so TOTALLY a slut.
Don't need contraceptives--the estrogen fled my bod like rats leaving a sinking ship a few years ago! But unlike Repigs, who don't care about anything unless it affects them directly, I will fight for my young sistas' rights to be as slutty as I now am (cuz I'm still pretty hawt 
so why nawt?) and not have to worry about the physical consequences.
Too bad the social consequences of female so-called sluttiness haven't changed in millennia. Even with contraceptives, women owning their sexuality and being confident is a HUGE threat to the patriarchal fundies, (as well as the corporations, who rely on women's low self-esteem so we keep buying useless shit to make ourselves feel prettier) so the stigma of shame is being kept alive, and the double-standard is firmly in place. I hate to think that women have to reach a certain age to finally acquire the confidence to enjoy their sexuality! So, c'mon, Young Thangs! You're beautiful, and deserve to feel sexually satisfied without guilt. Ignore those idiots--Sluts Unite!
