The Farce of “Forcible Rape” 0

Hadley Freeman, in the Guardian, dissects the meanness and misogyny lurking in the right wind’s anti-abortion, anti-birth control tactics (emphasis added):

An exciting update on last week’s discussion about how certain US politicians believe that, while some women are unfortunate enough to be raped, not all of them have been raped enough.

Consequently, some right wingers wanted to finish the job politically.

The “forcible rape” tactic succumbed to the derision it deserved, so now the Republicans are looking to a tax increase strategy.

Which leads to a wonder that I’ve wondered before: Why are Republicans so interested in other persons’ private parts?

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
