You’re bad at this, Rush Limbaugh. You don’t even understand how babies are made, let alone how people can have sex without making a baby, and you would like the government to take over decision-making on these issues on your say-so. And you don’t get it. You biologically don’t get it. You just don’t understand it. You were absent that day. - Rachel Maddow
Oh Rachel, I love you for this segment.
This segment was flawless.
The only thing I wish she’d added at the end was the the reason he may be confused is because he thinks birth control pills have to be taken every time you have sex just like the prescription Viagra pills the he continues to be caught with.
The thing about this whole saga is it’s exposed a whole new facet to the argument- these grown ass men talking about contraceptives literally do not know the first damn thing about them. And not just in the how they work on a biological level, their practical uses, alternate benefits etc. THEY LITERALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT A CONTRACEPTIVE PILL IS. I’ll be honest, I never even considered that in 2012, in the most privileged country in the world there could be hyperprivileged men who didn’t know the superbasics of the contraceptive pill, so I’ve never thought to address that, but FUCK ME, apparently our arguments about complex wombproblems and all that really were lost on them, not only because they’re nasty bigots, but because they literally do not have the mutual information base upon which the relative arguments are formed.
SHOCKING.
Oh god. The only thing better than this is when Rachel Maddow schooled Mittens on how birth control works.
I was asked to post this last ask as an image so it would be rebloggable. :-D
We challenge all of the GOP Presidential Candidates & All Republican / Tea Party members of Congress to PROVE that their sudden politicizing of birth control is NOT a Women’s Rights issue by passing legislation that prevents Men from getting Erectile Dysfunction drugs or penile enhancements unless:
- They are married
- Can pass a fertility test
- Are of an age where they can raise a child
Reblog this if you’d like to see The GOP treat men the same way they treat women.
Oh my god that would be awesome. Fucking conservatives are all in a rage about birth control pills, but they can give fuck all about boner pills.
The fact we have such publicly strong acceptance of fucking boner pills, and yet you don’t see the same kind of “horny pills” for women plastered in advertisements everywhere you look says a lot about how our society is set up.

Alright. Here’s That’s Bull! #2.
Idk. I think it turned out okay.
Feedback is always appreciated, and if you have any ideas on what we should do next, shoot us an ask!
