War on Women Thread?

Simply Fated

I can't find/see the War on Women thread from earlier today and I was looking for it because someone had asked where the women were to defend women's rights...

As it turns out, they were kicked off the House floor for saying the word, "vagina." The House head found the word offensive and banned her from talking any further. When another women tried to defend her, she was banned, too, I think...

It is assine legislation like this that makes me sad to be a resident of Michigan and look forward to the day when I can retire and leave the state.  Kudos to Representatives Byrum and Howard for standing up for what they and their constituents believe in.

Wrote letters to my State Senator and Rep this morning. They can go fluck themselves. Jackasses.

I saw this from Snips this morning. WTF? What is going on in Michigan? Have the state representatives lost their collective minds?

How backwards a world do we live in?  

I, too, would like to know what word would be preferable to vagina?  Or are medical terms off-limit?  Should we also not show our ankles because we need to keep things mysterious for men?  Sweet.

The men who decided to kick her out for speaking frankly (and correctly) during a debate are diicks.

[QUOTE]I think it's ludicrous to say that what she said was "too offensive" to be repeated in mixed company.  Oh Michigan...
