It’s pretty tough being a socially conscious person in an un-educated world.
Not just because there are many idiotic arguments for why you should be silent, but the abundance of terrible logic at which you have to gawk quietly.
But, that just gets tiring after a while. So, I've compiled a list of the dumbest things said about women.
Let’s take a look:
- Todd Akin (US Missouri representative) – "If a woman is a victim of 'legitimate rape,' she won’t get pregnant because her body 'has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.'"
Oh Toddy Woddy, I will never forget the way you made me gawk that year. He’s totes right guys, even though science says women are twice as likely to get pregnant from rape than consensual sex, Todd is spot on.
Because science is a thing that liberals made up, like poverty and racism. In the real world, after rape a women’s uterus becomes a biological replica of Fort Knox and sends mini storm troopers out to shut the whole thing down.
Seriously, it’s like a Micheal Bay movie. True story.
- Liz Jones (columnist at The Daily Mail) - "Rihanna promotes the sort of fashion sense on stage that surely invites rape at worst, disrespect at least."
Thanks Liz! I always knew Ri-Ri was behind it all. I mean who does she think she is, wearing what she chooses and acting as she chooses? If she would just cover her nubile body up, then men would be all "damn, I’m gonna stop raping now".
Yep. Rape is totally her fault. And I’m also pretty sure that her nude dress at the CFDA Fashion Awards started this whole Gaza thing. We should probably stone her.
- Rick Santorum (US presidential candidate) - "Women shouldn't terminate pregnancies resulting from rape because it's what God intended"
Ah. Another old, white Republican. These guys have all the fun! If a horrifying thing like rape happens to you and results in a life-changing thing like pregnancy which will make you responsible for another person’s life until you, or they die, you should just accept it, since the all-seeing eye intended for it to happen to you.
Because men do it all the time, see… like when they get cancer. They don’t piss God off by getting treatment.
That would be disrespectful, his plan was death, wasn’t it? What if you think child labour is bad? Well, tough. God intended it that way. You lost a leg in a car accident? Don’t wear a prosthetic, God wanted you one-legged... right.
- Lana del Rey - "For me, the issue of feminism is just not an interesting concept. Whenever people bring up feminism, I'm like, god. I'm more interested in, you know, SpaceX and Tesla, what's going to happen with our intergalactic possibilities."
Ermagherd Lana you’re so right! What’s up with all this equality talk? It’s like, gosh, it’s just a concept you know, like, human rights are sooo boring.
But, like, intergalactic teleportation, how do you even pronounce that, I’m sure that’s so up your ally you genius. You are so smart for a girl!
- Fabio Martínez Castilla (Mexican archbishop) - "Abortion is much more serious than the rape of children by priests."
To be clear, this fine man of the Catholic spoke about how family planning, including using condoms, is so much worse than child rape in the church. Way to go Fabio. Represent!
I knew I was missing out on a lifetime of trauma and counselling by not choosing Catholicism. Damn.
- Bülent Arinç (ally of the Turkish Prime minister) - "A woman must not laugh in public. Where are our girls, who blush delicately, lower their heads and turn their eyes away when we look at their faces, our symbols of chastity?"
They’re busy sowing little flowers into curtains and making potpie in 1786, Bulent. I do apologise.
On behalf of all Turkish women, South African women stand in solidarity with your plea to stop the hearty laughter of females accumulating into undelicate and perverse guffaws that terrorise nations in their sleep.
I will spend the rest of my days laughing into a bucket while turning my eyes away from the bucket, lest the bucket thinks too that I am not chaste.
- Katy Perry - "I am not feminist but I do believe in the strength of women"
Go home Katy, you’re drunk.
