Woman lawmaker banned from speaking on the house floor...
« on: June 14, 2012, 05:04:58 pm »
After she said the word "vagina" during an abortion debate.

Quote
Michigan House Republicans prohibited state Rep. Lisa Brown (D) from speaking on the floor after she ended a speech against a bill restricting abortions by referencing her female anatomy, the Detroit News reports.

 Her comment, which is on video: "Finally, Mr. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested in my vagina, but 'no' means 'no.'"

Republicans said Brown was "offensive" and wouldn't allow her to voice her opinion on an unrelated school employee retirement bill.

 Responded Brown: "If I can't say the word vagina, why are we legislating vaginas? What language should I use?"

Seriously, you're legislating the female reproductive system? What was she supposed to say? "hoo-ha?" "vajayjay?" "She-who-must-not-be-named?"

For some reason I'm reminded of this:



Back on topic, it's funny how prolife congressmen think agina is an obscene word considering how they've done even more offensive and obscene things.

What...

How is the correct medical term vulgar?  Especially when on the subject of abortion.

*sigh* Idiots.

I propose we ban non-procreative sex.  Anyone who wishes to object is not allowed to use the word "sex" or any euphemism thereof, or any reference to reproductive anatomy, because it is offensive.

... Whelp, I'm not hearing any opposing arguments!  Passed!

I propose that the names of all the body parts are hereafter prohibited from the English language. If a representative makes a comment about his grandma's heart during an Affordable Care Act discussion, he is banned. Humans are offensive, after all.

I remember in 6th-grade sex ed, there were separate classes for boys and girls. The girls' class was giggling the whole time, but later we found out that in the boys' class, if you giggled at a word, then you had to go up to the front of the class and say it three times.

Banned from EVERYTHING. Banned from life. Banned from death. These men are now, by definition, criminals.

I get the feeling they were not genuinely insulted by the word "vagina", but used it as an excuse to silence a "troublemaker".

Can I go to Michigan, find these immature twats, and start screaming "VAGINA!" over and over again through a megaphone to their face? You don't see women telling men to be silent after they mention their trouser sausages...
