see, back in the day the Birth Control Pill was a novel item, and expensive

[librechik]

So waggy right wingers used to say their pill had it all over The Pill. A single, inexpensive aspirin.

Why? How could this be? Aspirin is good for birth control? Really?

Why yes! But you have to hold it between your knees!!!


Har har har--see the penis can't get in there if yer knees are clamped tight--Har har har!

I think I first heard this naughty joke from my dad when I was about 16.

That's how old fashioned --mocking of women's reality--and out of touch the Santorum party is.

(sorry, but someone asked for the joke to be explained becasue they just didn't get it. I guess you had to be there--back in 1966.)

1. I wonder what the statistics are for those who used the asprin method vs. parents

For any given time in the past, can they back up this suggested method with numbers?

I imagine not because those who use asprin are all parents.

2. just to recap, women did not actually ever use The Aspirin Method

it was always a stupid joke against women. Not a real method anyone was suggesting.

But you knew that, I'm sure.

3. I assume you saw that video on the home page.

5. I was watching MSNBC live when it happened

unbelievable--except that the hatred against women is open and everywhere in that party.
I hope they get blindsided by a tsunami of antiPug women voters.

8. Hopefully. But you'd think even Republican women would be horrified by this. If not,

then I think they're even more stupid than I can imagine.

4. Yeah, and back then, until everything you wanted to know about sex dispelled the notion,

Shake a bottle of Coke, and use it to perform painless pregnancy prevention. Oh how we pine for the good ole days.

I think we should replace the elephant, with a friggin stork. or maybe this.

6. Can rape be prevented like this too?

Oh, my isn't that wonderful the things you learn in old age. No more rape if women just carry around a little pill.

7. yes, but not foolproof--best advice is to lie back and enjoy it

Guess it's just not your day...
