Don't you ladies worry your pretty little heads about it.

[LuckyTheDog]

The men of the Republican Party will figure out the whole birth control thing.

Considering how politically toxic it is for Republicans to continue in this foolhardy campaign against regulations requiring insurance companies to offer complete contraception coverage, you would think the smart move would be for Republicans to drop it. Instead, the strategy is to wage this battle while insisting against all common sense that it's about "religious freedom," even though the tweak to Obama's original policy allowing insurers to cover women directly instead of going through their employers addressed that concern. Refusing to acknowledge that their stated concerns were addressed is simply revealing that the Republican war on contraception coverage is in fact a war on contraception itself, and no amount of hyperbole Rep. Darrell Issa uses in titling hearings can change that.

1. Whew, what a relief!

Now all I need to worry about is whether my detergent will deal with that yucky ring-around-the-collar
and whether I smell flowery fresh all day.
Whee!

2. You'll also want to make sure your makeup and hairdo are touched up for when hubby comes home

from a hard day at the office or plant. Also better make sure your apron and crinolines are adjusted and properly starched. And what ever you do, make sure there is not a speck of dust in the place to put hubby in a sour mood.

Sorry to be so flippant and silly. It scares me that Repukes want to send America back several decades.

3. You forgot, have dinner on the table and warm no matter what time he comes in.

Have the children all quietly doing their homework.

And always be cheerful and eager to please your man.



(I know you were joking, I just thought I'd add some salient points. This wasn't a joke in the '50s.)

6. and a fresh martini

waiting for the Man of the House.



Oops. Time to take out my hair curlers and spritz on the Aqua Net hairspray!

7. probably a lot of those women had already HAD their martinis before the Man of the House got

home! My parents knew a few of them...it was actually sad, esp. for the kids, coming home and seeing their mother drunk on the sofa...

4. It really is a bit disconcerting

to see how readily they've jumped on to this. It always seems to be waiting just under the surface.

5. Don't you boys fret about this, we are under control.

We are willing and able to use the aspirin method of birth control. And the aspirin will stay between our legs until things change.

From what I figure, that will not take long.

[Tennessee Gal]

8. I betcha quite a few of these Republican men

have been with multiple "gals" who didn't keep that Bayer aspirin in place.

9. I enjoy being a girl!

Especially now that republican males want to be the boss of me!

I'm way past the age of needing contraception coverage, but my daughter isn't, and neither are my three grown granddaughters.

I hate republicans with a passion.

10. I was a teenager in the 50's

And we were basically taught in school you would either be a secretary or a wife. No way in hell will I go back to that way of thinking. And don't ever call me the "little woman"!
