(15,805 posts)Nor is there advocacy of such action. The suggestion is that extreme legislative measures should have expectation of extreme response. How long should women endure the dismissiveness of legislators who ignore the brutal realities of their lives? A simple "tsk tsk" is hardly sufficient to gain the attention of those who are determined not to look.

(111,274 posts)who are trying to legislate things that are none of their business and will maim and kill women if they succeed.
So yeah, I support that message.

(10,602 posts)They are already maiming and killing women with their intransigence. When you ignore all protest, remove the right to speak, take away the vote, and block women from ALL grievance and push you agenda up their vagina and tell them you will force them to comply by force, you leave few other options except to wack something off. Metaphorically speaking.
These men are saying we will rape your rights and make you like it and we will suppress you if you resist is an act of war and war has consequences.
If I had a restaurant and one of these bigot come in I would throw them out.

The Bobbitt's however are both alive and well. In fact today is the 20 year, 20 day anniversary of the event which brought them notoriety - June 23, 1993, 20 years ago: Lorena Bobbitt <snip> of then husband John Wayne Bobbitt in case that horrified and fascinated the nation
I assume the Bobbitt suggested by the bumper sticker Bobbitt is Lorena and not John.
Lorena would be an excellent candidate for office and a strong proponent of Women's Rights:
Throughout her marriage she was a victim of domestic violence. Today, Lorena no longer considers herself a victim of domestic violence. With the formation of her non profit organization (Lorenas Red Wagon), she is now able to speak out against domestic violence. The primary function of her organization is to try to prevent domestic violence through family oriented activities.
From her organization's website:
and awareness events. Lorenas Red Wagon has facilitated numerous charitable events from donating toys, sponsoring a food drives, to speaking with neglected and abused women and children.
Helping to prevent domestic violence through family oriented activities.
John, well, no.... While some porn stars have become politicians and John's roles in John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut and Frankenpenis were convincingly acted, the films were hardly (sic) Oscar material. His band, The Severed Parts, had no Top-40 hits. Then there are the later conviction for spousal abuse and the half-dozen busts for everything from assault to grand larceny. I guess his brief stint as a minister at the Universal Life Church in Las Vegas might garner some of the evangelical vote.
