There's a predictable but bizarre reaction from Republicans with penises (and a few without) to the backlash against the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision: only sluts and whores use birth control. The obvious conclusion is that these guys aren't getting much in the way of action if they don't think women should get to have sex for fun. Or they're only getting it when they pay for it.
TPM has the male pundit reaction.
"Pregnancy is something that you have to do to cause. ... Yet we treat it as a great imposition that women need to be protected from. It's a sickness, it's a disease, it's whatever, and there's gotta be a pill for it,"
[Rush Limbaugh] said on his show. "Yet they wouldn't have the problem if they didn't do a certain thing. It's that simple." [ ]
Sean Hannity wondered about the liberal "obsession with birth control" on his radio show Monday, and basically told women to just go get condoms.
"I was in the drugstore the other day, and guess what? Theres a whole section of birth control. Go buy it!" he said. "You can get a condom in a New York bar for free. As a matter of fact, you can take a handful."

Jill Filipovic highlights the reaction of the conservative general public. The conservative general public sucks.

That last one is particularly good, with that avatar. No, no whoredom there. But I'm sure @AllAmericanGirl (along with all her Republican friends who are so thrilled with this ruling) has only ever had procreative sex. How that explains Limbaugh, with his gazillion marriages, unfortunately public Viagra problem, and no children (thank whatever deity you like for the fact that he hasn't bred!) isn't clear. But don't spend too much time thinking that one out, because that's just not a place anyone should have to go.

(115,661 posts)GOPer with new girlfriend: "Do you use birth control? I need to know that before we have sex together."
Girlfriend: "Of course I use birth control. I don't want to get pregnant right now."
GOPer: "Birth control is against my religion. Women who use it are sluts and whores."
Girlfriend: "Uhhh... So, you'll pay for my abortion if I get pregnant?"
GOPer: "Absolutely not! Abortion is totally against my religion!"
Girlfriend: "Then I assume you'll marry me if I get pregnant, or at least support our baby?"
GOPer: "....Uhhhh...."
(Sound of door slamming)
GOPer: "Wait, what? Women! I just don't get them, they're so emotional."

(3,539 posts)at sex. Well at least people other than themselves having sex. Then of course its wrong, evil and "dirty" in any way shape or form.
This strongly implies that they "ain't getting none".
I suspect it is in our best interest to ignore their jealousy driven foul mouthed insults and make no attempt to enlighten them.
We should NOT encourage them to reproduce.

(24,761 posts)They only get their jollies either when they pay for it or force it on unwilling victims (shifting the blame on them in the process) or inappropriate "partners", e.g., kids or farm animals. They don't believe in consensual sex.

(18,998 posts)We are talking about coverage on an insurance policy fro christ's sake...They are up in arms about what is covered on an insurance policy...and act like they are being forced to pay for birth control...That is a frivolous claim and should have never been heard by the courts at all.
And our side is reacting to this outrage as the PTB knew we would and wanted it to happen.
And they will keep us fighting at windmills while the important shit is done.
Yes I have a conspiracy theory...they conspire to control both the government and us by just pushing a few buttons and sit back and watch the show...they push the buttons all the time now...so a lot must be going on.

All the big things are secret until they are leaked. NSA spying, TPP, etc...

(89,244 posts)but changes in society and women having goals in life other than get married and be a mother means there are less women available for their types.
so they are bitter over women who want to have sex just for the sex . because they prefer to have their own jobs and be independent they can have sex with someone without caring about long term relationships.
birth control of course plays a role in all of this because this is what allows women to be independent.
they probably blame liberals for even people like Bristol Palin getting pregnant when she was a teen and not married.
