Heavy sarcasm ahead ...

I think the "all women are pre-pregnant" thing is a fabulous idea. In fact, I think we should all go take hits off the air in the nearest cigar bar, mainline tequila, and have unprotected sex to celebrate.

For the record, my mother's been cleaning up cat feces since before I was born, and it hasn't had a negative effect on me. Well, unless you count those years she decided *I* was old enough to clean it, and I sure as hell do.

I need to write today. Deprivation! My next Supernatural story will be my fiftieth and I still have to finish the House of Wax recap. Of course, recapping's always better with booze, so that may have to wait for Friday.

I'm getting my haircut on Friday and I'm torn between getting it styled in a nice little bob to my chin or just getting a trim and letting it grow out for Winchestercon (YAY!). Eh. I'll probably let it grow out, although that just means it'll be a bitch to deal with until Winchestercon (YAY!). (Heh. I'll probably be doing that until October, because Winchestercon = YAY!. Speaking of which, USA Today says SPN's been renewed for a second season. They'd better be right, goddamn it.)

oh, and there's the point at which all men have to know that all women are 'pre-pregnant' and so are not toys god damn it or belongings or furniture or objects or just there for you to fuck you asshole

oh, scuse me, is my rant showing?

I'm so gonna link this article. Once again, you rock, babe!

See, to me the wording suggested that we (men) are supposed to think of women more as baby factories just waiting to get to work, which would increase the objectification.

As TP said above, the suggestions are sensible, but the wording and implications thereof are more than slightly disturbing.

dude i absolutely agree. there's so much like that out there. god. this is an egregious example of it.

Honest. As an RN trying to find teaching materials for my women clients: you'd be surprised how much of it has this underpinning it. And not from a 'hey, one day you might want to have a baby, so take care of the equipment in case you want it later'. no, it's 'you have an obligation to us (society) to keep this running in case we want it later'.
Brrrr.

I am SO not agreeing with the tone of this article. it gives me the creeps. I love that it's so blatant tho, and thus can actually be used to make that point!
