Personally I have always been in awe of the vagina and have always approached access to it as a privilege. If I was disrespectful to the owner in any way, married or not, I fully expected to be denied contact with this special part of her anatomy, until she had forgiven me of course.
While in a relationship I never felt it was my right to have ANY say over what she did with her vagina one way or another. And I certainly do not believe that a person NOT married to, or in a committed relationship with, the owner, should even consider acting is if they have any authority over it one way or another.
One final thought.
I have often heard that women suffer from "penis envy," something which I find almost impossible to believe.
After all how can that be? Actual human beings are known to emerge from this most amazing body part.
All men can manage to do with THEIR appendage is write their name in the snow.
Not even a close contest. Women win hands down.
Of course the godless meme is clever, and well put considering the constant war that the ultra right are waging on women's freedoms.
ReplyDeleteI don't buy the "vagina" is special, or somehow inherently better than it's counterpart for men.
You are setting women on a pedestal, and glorifying "access" to sex as though it's some kind of privilege that a goddess might grant you as a boon, instead of being a natural part of any loving or lusting relationship.
That does no favor to either sex, and contributes to the double standard that pervades western culture to this day.
Bottom line? A false dichotomy resulting in vagina envy.
Another good post; I’ll do my part to make sure this War on Women costs the Republicans dearly.
ReplyDeleteMy stepson, now an adult, was raised by me; he more or less has my values. But even he gets caught up in the rhetoric he catches from the men around him. “Women should never have abortions.”
“What if the fetus has turned to cancer? What if the mother is in danger of sepsis?”
“Um, well, um well,” and then his face gets red. He doesn’t want to go THERE. The guy is smart, but he’s exposed to extreme brainwashing from talk radio and the conversation of men around him.
I love that poster! There have been moments at the Home Depot I wished I had a penis so I would not be talked down to by men who stereotype females. Lol
ReplyDeleteGryphen, That is awesome!! And also your commentary well said!
Delete♥ it.
And, I can hold my own in Lowes or any Home Depot!
Who is hardest hit by Sarah being on Today show?
ReplyDeleteJulianne Moore
Average number of viewers is 5 Million. That's more than total viewers for Game Change after four showings.
It sucks to be you
Are you that desperate, that you can't wait for Gryphen to write about the Today show, and that you have to post your drivel on a text about vaginas ?
DeleteBesides, how could a wordlwide renowned actress like Julianne Moore be hurt by anything done or not done by a political celebrity - even by one who were not as mostly forgotten as Ms Palin ?
Is Ms Palin thinking about competing with Julianne Moore for a leading role in some movie ? Or is your post just the mark of a spirit of petty aggressivity, like a poodle who's trying to find enemies, just to feel more important ?
Hi Sarah or Bristol or one of your many minions.
DeleteOne thing you must remember is that there may actually be an increase in the number of viewers for Sarah's little debut on NBC - but the vast majority of those will be lookie-lous waiting for Sarah to be Sarah, laughing at her as her foot once again hangs out of her mouth.
Millions of people laughing at who you are and what you say and that's sad because you are not a comedian - that is sure something to be proud of and that alone makes Sarah such a sad, almost tragic figure. Sarah cannot comprehend what a joke she has become.
People know Sarah is a joke waiting to happen. As soon as she opens her mouth, most of the audience will moaning, groaning or laughing their guts out. So, thanks, Sarah Palin for being the comic relief for the upcoming week.
I'm sure a lot of people will be watching to see if she manages to function normally- no pouring coffee down her lap- and speak coherently, now that they know how stupid she is. Most people pay no attention to Sarah and don't realize how consistently she's made a fool of herself in her public appearances when she's tried to give a speech or answer a question.
DeleteI wonder if Piper will be there to prop her up? And I wonder what she'll say about her daughters' sex lives? She so rarely misses an opportunity to talk about them.
Why would you even bring up Julianne Moore? She is an actress, she played a part. Deal with it.
DeleteI can see Game Change still stings, however. The film is there for anyone's viewing pleasure for generations to come, btw. The total number of viewers will just grow and grow.
I think if you tallied up Julianne Moore's fans around the world, based on her numerous fine films, they would absolutely reach numbers far beyond Sarah Palins' thousand or two admirers. And when we are speaking of international appeal, Julianne has Sarah beat by the longest mile you could ever imagine.
Sarah is a joke around the world.
Now who does it suck to be? Poor grammar intended!
This post applies to the frequently used vajayjay of Bristol Palin. So why would you interject her talentless, uneducated mother?
DeleteBut since you brought up the TODAY subject, the topic on Tuesday should be about Sarah Palin's SEX TRAFFICKING PIMP DADDY HUSBAND
AND HOW IT HAS CHANGED ALASKA. SUCKS TO BE YOU AND TODD.
Tundra Turd Troll,
DeleteThis is a thread about vaginas not assholes.
No, it sucks to be the director of and the subject of "The Undefeated."
DeleteAnd on Tuesday Sarah Palin lowers herself to the bottom of the trash can level of the likes of fame whores the Kardashians, Octomom, and the Duggars. And that's the category NBC puts her in.
Yup, sucks to be Sarah. And sucks to be you. Because nobody here really gives a shit about Julianne Moore's feelings. But you sure give a shit about Sarah's, LOL.
Ten years from now, Julianne Moore will still be a respected actress with many wonderful roles to her name.
DeleteTen years from now, Palin will be an asterisk in a history book who no one will even remember, except to make damn sure that no Presidential candidate EVER again picks an incompetent, unstable running mate.
Yea..more people watching to see what a dimwit Sarah really is! After her appearance on Today more people will watch "Game Change" out of curiosity..How the mighty have fallen, from Political VP contender/celebrity wanna be to host a show with reality stars and other wanna be's! Way to climb that ladder Sarah!!!
DeleteWhy is Julianne moore hurt by this Twatwaffle?
DeleteThe one who is hurt is NBC b/c now they are known by the "fruits" they bear, and
Baldy b/c when she opens her mouth everyone will switch to watch Katie!!!
It sucks to be a cult palinbot!
Anon 5:52 AM. Here we go again. This thread is NOT about Sarah Palin. Why is every thread turned into a thread about Palin, or someone in her family?
DeleteHi Bristol.Or Willow.I know it's one or the other.You just keep giving yourself away with the "sucks to be you" mantra.You really ARE that damn dumb.
DeleteWho's she got left on Main Stream TV? Oprah isn't on anymore. OF Course she chose Matt Lauer- he's the only one who kissed her butt and made her look "smart". She probably took him to the family masseuse when he visited and showed her "cooking" in stilletto heels, a short skirt, flag pin, and prom hair in the house Todd's buddy's (bwaaaahaaaaa) built.
DeleteShe's on for ONE show, the caboose of the trainwrecks called the Duggars, Kardashians, and Octopu..Octomom.
Katie's on for the whole week. You know, the one who gave her those hard questions like "What do you read?", and she couldn't even finesse (name ONE) an answer that made sense.
So your in for a big let down. Katie's going to swat that gnat within the firs ten minutes.
Sarah will make a fool of herself, as usual, then slink away like a snail while Matt ogles her "hawt sexy butt".
Sucks to be you.
Conservative not understanding how television ratings work. Everybody drink.
DeleteYeah, no penis envy with any women I know. That darn thing must get in the way, ugly as sin, not that vajajas are pretty, but it seems that the penis only ever gets men into trouble.
ReplyDelete"Penis envy" is one of those things, that you hear about, and that makes you doubt your ears.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, having been a female all my life, I wonder how such a thing as "penis envy" could have escaped me ? "Penis disgust", yeah, that I know of, it's very common in girls who have not yet understood what good use one can make of an oversized noodle hanging between someone else's legs.
But males are so intense about "penis envy" existing... Just like some are about the Rapture. Or Gods.
hewy AJ, Maybe if more people put women 'on a pedestal' there would be fewer rapes, ya think? And what is normal about 'a lusting relationship?' anyway? What does that mean? As a female, I have had crushes, but the only lust I have ever felt is for my husband. I suspect men lust after Playboy photos, Hollywood actresses, porn stars, and who knows who else. If women were held in esteem, there would be no prostitution, no porn films, and no cheating on one's spouse, would there? I think a little vagina envy would be a good thing. And by the way, no woman I know ever wanted a penis, no matter what Freud thought.
ReplyDeleteHey Palin troll...you notice that Today only wants Sarah for one shot right? That's because, like her self-promotional TV show, ratings would fall significantly after the initial view. And I suspect hour two ratings will be much lower after an hour of her self-promotion on Tuesday. And I doubt any of this hurts Moore in any way. She is a fabulous actress with a life. Poor Sarah is still trying to recoup the feelings she had when her rallies were shouting 'kill him!' Sucks to be her.
ReplyDeleteThis from the party that says, keep the government out of my life! Yet, they want to regulate my procreation? Every policy that comes from the right is outdated or not in the best interest of the American people. A strong belief against abortion is admirable. I for one, have never had to make that choice but it is between a woman and her Doctor. Don't some of these laws go directly against HIPPA??
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! I posted it to my facebook page.
ReplyDeletePW
It never seems to occur to these "Christian" Bozos that maybe, just maybe, decisions regarding a woman and her uterus are up to her and her alone or belong between that woman and her god. I'm telling you, if these profoundly stupid politicians don't back off, there is going to be a backlash from women that makes Armageddon look like a back page incident. We will not take kindly to losing rights for which we had to fight so long and so hard.
ReplyDeleteBetween that woman and her 'god'???
DeleteAhhhhhhhhhh! Talk about kristyun bozos!
I've got to agree with Anon here - God has no place in my vagina - and also too the stupidity of some governments in relation to women is quite beyond belief.
DeleteIf Griff puts women above it all - good for him - but mentioning God in relation to women's rights is seriously mixed up. It is the talk of those against women's right to choose - who are the same lot demanding women submit to unlawful raping by the state.
Yeah, only had penis envy when I was too far from a restroom and a "picnic tool" would have come in handy. Otherwise, no.
ReplyDeleteIf indeed Sarah Palin is hosting NBC's Today Show, even if for only a brief amount of time - I won't be watching NBC ever again. It is insulting to America that this cancer be given a voice on a Main Stream network, let alone the extremist outlet known as FUX NEWS. This is obscene, vulgar, and sad that American TV has sunk lower than the tabloids!
ReplyDeleteThe Godless Vagina. Describes Sarah to a T, right down to her rhinestone belt buckle. TWAT!
ReplyDeleteNo penis envy here.
ReplyDeleteI want those bozo's to shut up and get out of the anti women thing the right is pushing.
Santorum is a complete ass.
No woman envies a man's penis,
ReplyDeleteWe just want our fair share of the privileges that men have granted themselves and denied women.
Stop picking on my mom!!!!!I mean...whatever this post is about...uh...it sucks to be me,it sucks to be me,it sucks to be a teen mom even though I'm 21 now,at least I don't accuse people of being pregnant on DWTS when they aint,um,uh,STOP JUDGING ME!!!
ReplyDeleteYou don't understand Penis Envy because you have one. You've never had to watch a penis get more validation, be taken more seriously than yourself, make more money than yourself, get invited into more clubs than you, advance through life easier than you, or thought it offensive that so many things center around the importance of it.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I don't have a penis, so I'll stick to not speaking for it.
Only a man like Freud - a pompous ass - could come up with a theory (and indeed, it is just a theory, not a fact) like penis envy. Penises aren't all that good looking, as compared to the hidden mysterious wonder that is the vagina.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the first time my daughter saw a penis, she was 3. A 3 year old boy came out of the bathroom stall with his pants down in the ladies room. She looked shocked at what she was seeing. I was tempted to tell her he was deformed, lol!
And, I can't be envious of a penis. I can get one anytime I want one. *grins*

I never believed in the whole penis envy schtick. I can't speak for men because I'm a woman, but I think when men were allowed into the delivery room, they no longer bought into the envy thing either. Sure, it's out there and hard to ignore, but when a man sees a vagina while a baby's head crests then emerges, lust is the last thing on his mind, at least it was for my husband. It was more like awe.
ReplyDeleteThat aside, I love the graphic. I can appreciate the beauty of the bodies of both sexes, but there's so much more to all of us than the sum of our parts, I don't expect to be treated differently just because of my sex, I want to be treated equally for what I contribute to society.
This whole "war on women" is stupid, I'm glad all men don't feel that way.
Amazed that I have more respect than ever now for you Gryphen, didn't think that was possible. You get it....rare occurrence for the male species. I think that most of the world's hatred of women is based on power, men know that women give birth, our species depends on it,so it is inevitable that some want to control us with vaginas. I am always aware of the fact that men, even not thinking of what they are doing,treat women with little respect or think they cannot be logical thinkers because of their male upbringing or their peers who support their actions. It's tiring to constantly have to prove that I am smart enough to make my own decisions,thank you very much but the fight must continue....this war on women's rights is going to backfire on the buttheads, (love the Santoreum face).
ReplyDeleteWow! What a lovely bunch of coconuts we have! If I happened to have a wife today I'd be very happy to see her at a rally holding that semi- famous sign... "If I wanted the government in my womb I'd f*ck a senator"
