I long for the day when sexual analogies will not be used to describe a woman's job performance. #fauxnews

Laura Ingraham, on the other hand, will only sell (out) OTHER women, thank you!

Yes! It's about time a politician took the necessary steps within the bounds of the law to get important legislation passed that will aid all Americans. Right on!

(Oh, Laura Ingraham, that wasn't what you meant? You think our politicians should just phone it in like you do? Right.) #fauxnews

You know what, I would sell my body to GWB if it meant reproductive rights for all women.

This coming from the wingnut who wouldn't eat restaurants with gay staff fearing they'd give her AIDs by breathing on her food.

@Understater: How could she tell which restaurants have gay staff? What, did she quiz the owner beforehand? That's a great way to guarantee foreign substances will be introduced into your plate of pasta. #fauxnews

Is schoolyard bullying has taught me anything, it's that if you don't have anything of substance to make fun of, go straight for the person's looks. Even if it's not true or doesn't make any sense, you'll make them self-conscious. You might even make them cry. #fauxnews

Random question - someone private message me on this cuz I can't check Jez @ work, but is this legal?

I mean, openly selling sex over e-Bay or whatever? Does she live in Nevada? Am I missing something?

I listened to the first half of the interview (before Bruce calls in) and I thought that Laura Ingram was slightly condescending, but overall--pretty nice to her. Do things take a drastic turn after the break?

On another note, I wonder how the the male-female dynamic would change if it were against the law for men NOT to pay women for sex? Because this 'women who have lots of sex are whores and men who have lots of sex are studs' thing simply is not working.

@jinxykb: I don't think it should be against the law to have sex for free but I definitely feel that having it be illegal to charge money for sex is a form of slavery.

Is it just me, or is it kind of ridiculous thing to ask: you don't think God helped create the human form and that God has a special plan for you?

It sounds as if s Ingraham honestly thinks EVERYONE believes the same things she does. Or did Natalie Dylan come right out and say she is a devout Christian?

Ok, I have a question for y'all.

This community has been talking a lot about whether or not this is "empowering" (most of us falling on the "uh, no" side) since it came up -- likewise with all manner of conversations about how women deal with their sexuality.

But, if money is power (and $3.7 million, or the 50% of that that she keeps, is a hell of a lot of money), then why is this not "empowering" for her?

I agree that it isn't, but I'm foggy on why. And I think I'm not thinking about her in a vaccum, but rather her-as-a-woman, part of a continuum of women and our needs. Like, it might give her some power, but as this deal further entrenches notions about women and property, it dis-empowers (makin' up words!) women in general and thus, ultimately, her too.

OR: Maybe, just maybe, by seeing a woman treat her virginity as NOT precious, is this a wee bit subversive of the conventional discourse about women and sex? (Apologies to the commenter who just yesterday asked with some justification that the world retire the term).

But as you can see, I'm not being very articulate here.

@ellaesther: Well her virginity IS precious to her- $3.7 million worth of precious.

It's perhaps more subversive to eradicate the notion of virginity altogether, not to capitalize on it's inflated importance (for women exclusively).

@ellaesther: I actually don't agree that it is disempowering. I think it is exactly as empowering as 3.7 million is. I don't think it makes women like property any more than any other kind of worker. And guess what? Last time I checked, property is pretty fucking sacred and honored in a capitalist society. I think you make great points.
