See? I completely suck at that whole being-a-virgin thing.

[apocalypsos]

But, as I’ve written, a woman who doesn’t take long to agree to repeatedly put a needle in her body, generally doesn’t take long before she acquiesces to putting other things into her body. In other words,she’s easy.

Obviously my four tattoos mean I'm a whore. And I get bonus points for the Poe signature across my lower back! SCORE.

So I'm awful at being a virgin but I'm so good at being a slut I don't even have to have sex to do it. Awesome!

That makes absolutely no sense, even from a social conservative's pov. I know, 'cause I am one--well, at least compared to most of LJ-land--and I'm absolutely boggled. Makes me want to go out and get a tattoo so I can be a Not Good Enough Virgin, too.

That's...um...but...HUH???

If a woman has a sex drive, she's a slut. If she expresses the slightest interest in anyone who is not her good Christian husband, with whom she has sex once a month in the missionary position with the lights off through a hole in the sheets, she's a slut. Easy, I tell you.

If she has tattoos and thinks about sex, she's a loathsome whore who will burn forever in the fires of tartarus.

... This may be the most loathsome double standard currently going unquestioned in our society.

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

But it's so simple and easy to understand! Women get all the responsibilities and consequences of sex, while men get all the pleasure with no agency. Sure, it places undue burdens on women and treats men like brainless walking penises, but it's worked so well so far.

So what do my eight tattoos and twelve piercings make me? Whatever degree of ho-bag I am, I wish someone would tell it to me complete inability to get laid.

[gretazreta.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
You're awesome.

I said:
I love how there’s a bunch of assumptions made here:

First, that having a tattoo makes you easy.
Then, that all women are going to have children, or at least the good ones are.
Then, that you MUST HAVE AN EPIDURAL TO HAVE CHILDREN BECAUSE OH THE PAIN.

Not mentioning here the points ( a )one could not have children ( b )one could just not have an epidural if they were that concerned for the safety of their child …which is actually better for the child since you can feel when to push, etc ( c ) you can go around the tattoo, as it mentions in the article ( d )the fact that epidurals are BY NATURE potentially a risk to children because they’re putting chemicals in your bloodstream and can cause such things as stroke and sepsis, as well as infant death…

But then this is someone who thinks that tattoos = sluts; I’m not expecting a plethora of logic.


That article almost makes me want a lower back tattoo. Just so I can be inyourface about the trampstamp stereotype. Damn. (I hate that it's an assumed position even among tattoo artists and indie kids. It's ridiculous and completely anti-feminist to base your opinion of someone on WHERE THEY GOT A TAT.)

[eiluned.livejournal.com]

The thing that irritates me is that so many people assume that if you get a tat on your lower back, you're clearly just following the crowd. I planned my lower back tat out YEARS before it became the in thing to do, dammit. I should get some street cred for that. ;)

And you've made some fabulous points in your comment, though unfortunately they will probably go right over those idiots' heads.

[astaria51.livejournal.com]

That irritates me too. What's your tattoo of? (Have I asked you this before?)

Haha, probably. Side affect of going to a women's college: people actually question the childbirth system in america here. I forget that not everyone knows that epidurals are...not actually good for you, nor is having a baby on your back, etc.

Of course, one could just not have children. (GASP SHOCK HORROR)
Or adopt!

[eiluned.livejournal.com]

It's a stylized Leaf of Lorien. It's my geek tat, but it's pretty enough to pass off as just a design, haha.

I think it's funny in a sad sort of way that so many people assume the default in life is to pop out babies. I might want kids someday, but I'll probably not give birth to them. I'll adopt.

[astaria51.livejournal.com]

oooh, cool!! *is a geek*

It IS sad. I think the reputation given to people who are childfree is annoying (although I've met plenty of annoying childfree people) and while I think it's perfectly respectable to give birth and be a mom, whether working or stay at home (and similar for dads), it shouldn't be the default.

I'm definitely planning on adopting. Obviously planning on marrying a girl has something to do with that, but so does being the child of a child abuse case specialist. There are just so many kids who need good homes, especially older children, who don't get them because we're expected to have babies, or at least simulate it as closely as possible.

[foxxydancr.livejournal.com]

my roommate has the tree of gondor as a "tramp stamp"...

[eiluned.livejournal.com]

That is fabulous. I ought to get that one somewhere. I love the different designs and heraldry in LOTR.

[gretazreta.livejournal.com]

"before she acquiesces to putting other things into her body"...

what, like, jeez. FOOD?
Holy crap, those women and their EATING. You know once they start with putting food into their mouths it's only a matter of time before they start putting other things in there. I'd call this the food-cocksucking axis.

By this logic, you're a bad virgin if you had breakfast this morning.
Conservatives make me laugh with TEH STUPID.

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

I'd call this the food-cocksucking axis.

Holy crap - I just sprayed coffee all over my monitor. ::rotfling::

[kittikattie.livejournal.com]

food-cocksucking axis.

*dies and is ded*

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

What cracks me up about that is that I lost my virginity waaaaaaaay before I ever got my ears pierced, and to date, I still don't have a tattoo (and I probably never will).

[tabaqui]

Wow. Some people are so freakin' stupid it's a wonder they remember to breathe. Jayzus....Christ.

*eyes tattoos*
*wonders who i should go out and fuck before i get my daughter from the bus stop*

[hemlock-martini.livejournal.com]

I don't like it when people insinuate things about my wife.

HASSAN CHOP

[astrothsknot.livejournal.com]

I love how these conservatives can't cope when real life bites them on the arse...

I have no tattoos and only one ear peircing.

I also have nary a clue who the father of my son is.

Clearly I fail at being a tart. How on earth are men supposed to know I'm easy without tramp-stamps?

[bnh.livejournal.com]

oh, so that's why i got the tattoo. it all makes sense now! clearly i am a dirty whore.

[eiluned.livejournal.com]

Heh. As a proud "tramp stamper," I say ultra-conservative douchebags like most of the commenters on that blog shouldn't breed. It's terrible to spread hatred in the world.

Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to live with such a narrow worldview. And then I get over it and go back to being a tolerant, tree-hugging hippie.

[scary-being-me.livejournal.com]

Well, you may as well go have sex with the next 6 guys, 3 women, and mailbox* you see. It seems you're already going to hell, so why not?

I have to wonder if it's painful to be that stupid and that's what makes her such a bitch.



*Obviously, having Poe's signature on your lower back makes you perverted, as well as a slut, so you must want sex with even bizarre objects.

[riskygamble.livejournal.com]

The ignorance, it buuuurrrnnnnss usssss!!!

[kreutzmarie.livejournal.com]

Because I have a celtic cross on my lower back (in memory of my father) I am obviously a slut and a loser.

Ignore the fact that I'm a Cum Laude honors college graduate with an academic full ride and now in graduate school. SO totally a loser incapable of anything at all due to my tattoo. Apparently I suck at life and should go throw myself out of a window-after sleeping with as many men as possible. Preferably all at the same time.

Hey, what if a woman is a Type I diabetic? It won't take long for her to agree to repeatedly take insulin injections. Is she easy too?

[lilacsigil.livejournal.com]

YES! Diabetic women are the sluttiest of all. And they (often) start so young! Disgusting!

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa---

No, what. Wut. Wha-ha-ha-hat.

She can't brane today. She have the dumb.

Dear god, it hurt me to read some of that.

My brain cells are crying out in agony. Particularly Nigel.

[allegraconbrio.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha. It is Debbie Schlussel. Of course she is making idiotic, outrageous and offensive statements. Once I read the name Debbie in the post you linked to I knew who it was, but I clicked the other link anyway. She is an equal opportunity hater. Consistent as always, Debbie. Well done with the over the top ridiculous statements that have no basis in fact.

Damn.

[chandri.livejournal.com]

It... they... tattoo... I... she... WHAT?

I do not understand. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

And is it completely wrong that all this really does is make me want to finally go out and get that tattoo?

[foxxydancr.livejournal.com]

everything else aside, I really, really, really hate the term 'tramp stamp' esp since I have one, and damnit, it's not working! I don't have lots of casual sex in bars! mine must be defective...

[l-vera01.livejournal.com]

omg, I'm a slut *beams*

Mom's going to be so proud. She never thought I'd amount to anything.

[raisedbymoogles.livejournal.com]

This makes me want to run right out and get a tattoo.

[marinarusalka.livejournal.com]

a woman who doesn’t take long to agree to repeatedly put a needle in her body, generally doesn’t take long before she acquiesces to putting other things into her body

Yeah, 'cause needles and penises are totally interchangeable.

[vass]

Oh fucking hell. Agree.

*got first tattoo earlier this year; is still virgin*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I think I should have just killed two birds with one stone and just nailed the tattoo artist. The one who did my back-of-the-neck tat was kinda cute.

[amontillado.livejournal.com]

She's right, you know. The second I got my lower back tattoo, I headed straight for a penis - any random penis would do. I barely made it out of the parking lot.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, see, I like a challenge. I strayed away from penises (they're a little TOO pedestrian, if you ask me) and went directly for the really hard-to-jam-in items. A television, a live chicken, a Ford Bronco ...

[amontillado.livejournal.com]

I wish I were that adventurous; I'm such a traditional whore. :/

[broken-enemy.livejournal.com]

That is totally insane. It makes me want tatoos even more. I really don't get the logic of some people.

[idealistagain.livejournal.com]

I don't think repeatedly agreeing to have needles stuck in you makes you a slut--just batshit insane.
