Spears family birth control

[pstokely]

1. Is this supposed to be sexist bullshit?

or am I misinterpreting something?

[datasuspect]

2. how do you read sexism into this?

you by far are one of the most interesting people on this board.

[noamnety]

3. How do you NOT read sexism into this?

I'm open to listening to the OP's explanation of why they posted a giant sponge as Spear's birth control here, and how it isn't some sort of sexist statement.

[datasuspect]

6. can you characterize it a bit?

i think he said "spears family" which by definition isn't limited solely to females.

on edit:

do you seriously peruse the web expecting to NOT be offended?

consumerism offends me. discussion of television programming and teevee in general offends me. but does it make sense to rail against this? are people insensitive because they discuss things i personally don't agree with?

[madeline_con]

31. Yes

:popcorn:

[cabraverde]

35. its a violation of the 28th ammendment

the right NOT to be offended!

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Sexist?!

Holy shit, I've seen some stretches here, and that's one of the biggest.

[rug]

9. I need an opinion before I post this. Is this sexist?

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. It's certainly an affront to vegetarians, you bastard.

That sandwich clearly has meat in it.

[rug]

11. Damn, I'd better delete it. Thank you.

[DS1]

30. nutjob, this one

[Nailzberg]

8. What's wrong with being sexy?

[matcom]

19. that is such a douchebag statement

:eyes:

[Danger Mouse]

25. Please explain to me how that is sexist.

I'm trying. I'm trying hard. I'm not seeing it.

[noamnety]

27. Apparently I'm outnumbered.

So I guess the common feeling on DU is that mocking women for getting pregnant is not sexist, posting giant photos of "sponges" that imply that women who have gotten pregnant (apparently all on their own) do so because they are too stupid to figure out the basics of birth control, that's not sexist either.

Young women who get pregnant are dumb broads who deserve public mocking, I clearly forgot about that when I implied this was sexist.

[madeline_con]

29. Thanks for explaining. eom

[fizzgig]

33. it's not hard to not get pregnant

if a woman doesn't want to use some sort of birth control, she can insist her partner wears a condom. to me it is stupid to have unprotected sex if you don't want a kid.

[Danger Mouse]

36. hope you put your big-girl flame proof panties on.

[fizzgig]

38. don't get your panties in a twist

[Danger Mouse]

40. what you gonna do, cry about it?

[Mz Pip]

39. Stupid

is the operative word with those women.

The make the movie "Idiocracy" seem like a documentary.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[fizzgig]

41. i agree

but apparently we can't say that

[Danger Mouse]

42. god forbid a woman be held accountable for her actions!!

[fizzgig]

43. it takes two to make a baby

but it's ultimately the woman's decision whether she wants to take the chance, at least to me

[Mz Pip]

45. I was thinking

the sponge wasn't really effective enough.

Maybe a mop.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Danger Mouse]

34. Well, presuming that she didn't want to get knocked up...

what would you call her behavior?
The guy's a moron too, but she deserves her share of the responsibility.
And I never said anything of the sort. Thank you for putting words in my mouth.
:banghead:

[Lex]

4. maybe you could find a more giant pic

to post

[judaspriestess]

5. its actually lack of birth control

[CGowen]

12. Sponge Bob? n/t

[Nailzberg]

13. That looks like a piece of wheat toast.

Perhaps that's why the Spears girls keep getting knocked up. :shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

15. Oh, man, it has been edited!

x(

[Nailzberg]

17. I know. What's with this 1984 stuff, rewriting posts!

What are you talking about - wheat toast? We've always been at war with sponges.

[datasuspect]

14. that piece of toast is breadist!!!!1111

BLAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111

[Nailzberg]

16. Now that one is a sponge.

And I'm gonna make a grilled cheese on wheat.

[Deja Q]

18. I heard Mr. Squarepants was to get his own spinoff, but this is ridiculous...

:yoiks:

[Quantess]

20. At the risk of being sexist, maybe this is their preferred birth control....

Shake it up.

And no, it isn't effective either.

[Fire Walk With Me]

21. Marketing is more important than the facts.

Don't rain on their parade.

[Quantess]

24. LOL, no their marketing doesn't take you that far down the road..

In the commercials everyone just wants to have sex with you. :rofl:

[Deja Q]

22. Britney should have read (?) Madonna's "Sex" book of the early 1990s...

For "read", I mean "view" as it had more to do with showing pictures... one of which involved such a bottle...

Or was it that movie of hers?

Oh well. Either way, it was Madonna, a bottle of coke, and one of several potential openings...

[Quantess]

23. Weird.

I haven't seen that (thankfully).

Years ago, I read a teen sex info Q&A pamphlet that said "Douching with pepsi or coca-cola after sex is NOT effective birth control".

[ChoralScholar]

26. RC Cola, however, will fix you right up..... EOM

[Dr. Strange]

32. I love my vagina.

Every time someone brings up Madonna's sex book, I can't help thinking of Phil Hartman's portrayal of Charlton Heston doing the audio version...

[bbernardini]

28. You must be one of those misogynists I've been hearing so much about.

They're everywhere in the Lounge, from what I understand.

[Danger Mouse]

44. Beware....he drinks blood and casts no shadow, so deep is his hatred of women!

[RiffRandell]

37. Obviously it doesn't work. n/t

[Fire Walk With Me]

46. Pop celebrity birth control sponge is the new kudzu.

:hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

47. non-existent

apparently.

[BlueJazz]

48. I assure you I am "Sponge Worthy" n/t

[Writer]

49. A little hot water... a little soap...

you can have all sorts of fun with that.

[Blue-Jay]

50. I don't get it.

[mitchum]

51. This thread is sponge worthy!
