    Default Help get women-hating a-hole off the air

    Rush Limbaugh has called women who use contraception "sluts" and "prostitutes", and said women who get any assistance in paying for contraception should post sex videos online so he can watch.

    Here is a link to a petition asking advertisers to pull their support for Limbaugh:

    People trying to take away contraception from women is something that affects a lot of members of this forum.

    Do you really find it rabid, batshit crazy to oppose someone who calls women "sluts" and "prostitutes" because they use contraception?

    Normally, I'd agree that political stuff needs to be off the site, since that's the rules...however, I don't think that this topic should be political in nature at all. It's really disgusting to me that sexism is currently a political issue, because it shouldn't be. Everyone should be behind this and it saddens me that anyone would look at this and be like, "Oh, it's just those elitist liberals with their war on my religion." No, it's the 21st century and we live in a first-world country that should be waaaay beyond this.

    There is another thread that was just started on this topic, called "Birth Control is for Sluts". Here's the link for anyone interested in reading the comments posted there:

    I honestly don't believe that there is anyone in this forum that would go along with Rush Limbaugh's statement that women who use contraception are "sluts" and "prostitutes". I am not trying to stir up animosity and hate here. I am giving members of the forum that are disgusted by such statements a chance to express their views to those who are sponsoring them. Anyone who feels different is free not to sign the petition.

    I don't view this as a political thread, and I don't see anything here that was intended to stir up animosity and hate between members. Rush Limbaugh is famous for his ultra-conservative rhetoric, but he is a radio personality, not a politician. The issue is with Limbaugh's choice of language and use of slut-shaming to make his point/get media attention, not with his political beliefs themselves. While I'm sure many members here do not agree with his view on this topic, I doubt there would be two simultaneous threads popping up expressing outrage and desire to get him off the air if he had expressed himself differently. He made an extremely offensive comment on the air, and there will be backlash for it - here on SW and many other places as well.

    I don't see anything in the original posts, either in this thread or the one like it, that is intended to slam another person's political views.. When Don Imus referred to a group of college students representing their school's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos", it was generally agreed that his language was racist, disrespectful, and unacceptable. The same applies here, but Rush's comment was misogynistic, disrespectful, and unacceptable. No matter what his political views are (or anyone's, for that matter), there was no need to make such a hurtful and ignorant statement on air.

    "Hey women, fuck you for wanting fair access to medical care! Fuck you for deigning to have sexualities! Fuck you so much that I am entitled to your bodies! Fuck you even more because I have no shame in saying this publicly!"

    Seems like it's not a very divisive issue on a board like this. Instead of seeing it as politics, try to look at it from a human rights standpoint.

    Sexism has become ok to talk about which disturbs me. Replace slut with a racial word and see how fast he would have been taken off air.

    Women object to being called 'sluts'. That's not political at all.



    Thank for the petition.

    I don't see it as political.
    If RL had expressed his views in an intelligent and articulate manner I don't think he would be getting any attention from anyone.

    I completely understand some people think the gov't or health ins etc should not cover bc, that it should be considered elective, and there are ways of stating that point. I might not agree but I understand.

    I don't know maybe he was just trying to be an entertainer and generate heat or maybe he really is an unhinged woman-hater (I think both).

    But I don't see this convo as being political, it's not about politics.

    It is political-in that I can't offer an alternative opinion of his statement without bringing in politics.

    I do not like Limbaugh, I don't. How he worded this was extremely distasteful. But I do understand his point, and quite frankly, I agree with it. But there's no way for me to expand on that and defend myself without being political. So instead I'll just get torn apart for being anti-women and anti-choice (neither which is true), because my hands are tied.

    I think I know where you are going and I have to agree, though I think he's a douchebag. As I am sure you are aware I have far more conservative than most on this board, and have been reamed a few times for being "anti woman" which I am not. I lurk on a Catholic site and there have been comments about this whole topic and while a few are extreme others have good comments, though I may disagree with some.

    Perhaps you misunderstood the point of this thread. I didn't start this thread to discuss whether or not Rush Limbaugh's point of view is correct about employees or students being provided with contraception. The point of this thread is whether or not a woman can publicly state her views on this issue without being called a "slut" and a "prostitute" and whether or not it is appropriate to call all women who use contraception "sluts" and suggest that any woman who gets assistance for contraception should be required to put videos of herself having sex on the internet, so that Rush Limbaugh can watch.

    I don't think Rush is a politician and I don't think this about politics. It's about using the media to dehumanize women. Saying this is about politics is like saying the Nazi party is about politics. So what if it is? That isn't the issue.

    If birth control was Oxycontin Rush would be allover it.

    The issue isn't whether or not women or men should get free contraception or condoms. It's whether or not it's acceptable to call women "sluts" or "prostitutes" for expressing their views, and if it's acceptable to call women who use contraception "sluts" or "prostitutes".

    I understand the point of the thread. Again, you're tying my hands-because that's not what he did. He never said all women who use contraception are sluts. He said women that are demanding tax payers pay for their contraception are essentially asking for $$$$$$ from other people in order to have sex.

    Then he followed that with the very clip-worthy "And what do you call women who are paid for sex? Sluts".

    Again, I don't like Limbaugh or his shock tactics. But I agree with him.

    *EDITED TO REMOVE POLITICAL VIEWS*

    See? Really no way to give an alternative view on Limbaugh without getting political. Commence throat-tearing.

    But contraception is a medical need. And sex is also a need. Limbaugh's views and reasoning are as overly simplified as a 5 year old's. It's just not anything close to reality.

    Rush also seems to think that the more sex you have, the more money you spend on birth control. Maybe he's thinking of the morning after pill or something.

    Contraception is not a medical need-I understand for some women with real hormone imbalances, it can be-but for your average woman, no birth control is not a "need".

    I love sex, and I love my birth control. But when I was broke and couldn't afford it, I found other ways. Buying condoms for instance, or else doing everything but sex. I certainly didn't ask for a handout so I could bang my boyfriend.

    You have to pay a co-pay for most common drugs. Why should birth control be any different? Why should taxpayers and insurance companies have to eat that cost, raising premiums for everyone? It's just ludicrous.
