Nice Girls Don't Say 'Vagina' -- What The Rep. Lisa Brown Controversy Is Really About

[4th law of robotics]

124. This is a particularly interesting response

on the one hand you have people arguing how silly it was that this woman was punished merely for saying the word vagina.

On the other hand you have *those exact same people* acknowledging that it wasn't about saying the word vagina, that it was about the rape innuendo but that it's ok because this is rape.

See how these two ideas are at odds with each other? She never alluded to rape but she also did but that's ok.

You can't, or shouldn't, be able to argue two completely contradictory conclusions at the same time.

And as for a comparable thing on the other side: if some politician were to get up and declare anyone supporting abortion to be baby-killing nazis I would likewise think that language is inappropriate for a government debate.
