Lefty women - how do you deal with being intimidated by Sarah Palin's fertility?

[NewJeffCT]

According to Free Republic, "The lefty women I know are threatened by her fertility. Really."

How do you deal with this crushing burden?

And, any suggestions for dealing with being so threatened?

[Solly Mack]

1. With lots of worry-free

dancing....

[NewJeffCT]

3. lol...

I saw what you originally wrote before the edit.

:P

[Solly Mack]

5. hehehehe I decided to be good

sorta

:)

[liberalitch]

2. To quote butterfly McQueen in Gone With the Wind....

"Miss Scarlet I don't know nothing 'bout birthin' no babies!"(Then of course Scarlet slaps her.)
But..... I think I can live with it. What I do have a problem with is her parenting style.... She didn't give her daughter the proper "ammo" with which to meet a world where.... people have sex.

[NewJeffCT]

4. I'm glad you can live with it

and, I hope you know I was being sarcastic in posting that Freeper quote.

[liberalitch]

6. Oh, but of course.....

My womb and I are fine with that..... I love peeks into their psyche.... Always good for a laugh.

[Phentex]

7. I eat placenta and grits every morning...

mmmmmmmmmmm....babies......

[Fire Walk With Me]

23. Exactly. We librul baby-eaters gotta get our babies from somewhere.

Nice of republicans to oblige our never-ending hunger for fresh baby meat.

:thumbsup:

[lizerdbits]

8. Oh Darn! I forgot to have kids!

If a woman was intimidated by another woman's fertility wouldn't she just have more kids? That's just really strange.

[SarahB]

9. Palin is threatened by MY fertility.

Four bio kids, one stepkid (as opposed to the 5th actually being my grandkid), I make a great living, AND I know both the countries involved in NAFTA as well as the fact Africa is a Continent! Conservatives want to put us in a box, but they're (as usual) full of shit. I know PLENTY of active, Democratic women with 3 (and more) children. The difference is that Democratic women don't tell other women that OUR choices should be the only option.

[NewJeffCT]

14. and, if you don't mind me saying

you're rather attractive, too.

[dropkickpa]

10. I recite the names of her children

Threat defused.

[NewJeffCT]

13. good one

:rofl:

[TZ]

11. hmm. I deal with that this way

Every day I start the day weeping for my poor empty womb and then I go off to work at my totally meaningless empty job of looking for a cure for chronic illnesses. How do I live with myself? I can't stand the guilt of knowing I haven't done my duty as a woman because I've been so busy using my mind professionally. Oh woe is me!



:rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

19. I can feel your pain

oh woe is thee.

[lizerdbits]

51. Bwaahaa!

What time do you weep every morning? We should coordinate times. :rofl: Only problem is using up my energy sobbing before working out.

[hippywife]

12. I threw out the cradle years ago

but kept the playpen. ;) :rofl:

[LaurenG]

15. How funny.

I deliberately chose to have a tubal ligation at age 21. I have no need for creating more people. No one should have children "unconsciously" and without thought of the planet.

Unfortunatly (imho)not enough people agree, especially on that site.

[Mutley]

16. I had to wipe the tears away after that one.

:rofl:

[MountainLaurel]

17. Better her than me, is what I say

I'll stick to furkids, thank you very much.

[Chorophyll]

18. Sigh. Yeah, I've only got one kid.

I know I'm horribly inadequate as a woman. It's my cross to bear. But I just take it one day at a time, you know? One... day... at a time.

Oh Lord! Why couldn't you make me a mindless breeder like Sarah???? :cry:

[Haole Girl]

20. Going by that logic, we'd be afraid of bunny rabbits, too!

:rofl:

[dropkickpa]

28. I seriously was afraid of rabbits as a kid

Their creepy bifurcated faces and twitchiness :scared:

[Haole Girl]

41. Aww

Bunny rabbits are sweet!! :hug:

[NewJeffCT]

45. Those rabbits can be vicious, with their nasty big pointy teeth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcxKIJTb3Hg

[Haole Girl]

57. Eeek!

:rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

80. See - they've got a vicious streak a mile wide!

look at the bones

[Aristus]

21. Okay, I'm a lefty man, not a lefty woman, but I wanted to say: fecundity is not a skill;

It's a genetic attribute, just like with cockroaches, sea horses and rats.

It's not a skill Smarmy Failin' worked hard for years to perfect...

God! Freepers are dumb fucks!

[NewJeffCT]

22. Personally

I think Freepers are just upset that Obama Girl is hotter than Sarah Palin.

[KitchenWitch]

24. I just had a hysterectomy because I just knew I could not compete.

[Gormy Cuss]

38. snap! n/t

[La Lioness Priyanka]

25. what do i look like? some sort of farm? a garden?

those are the only things that should be prized for fertility

[NewJeffCT]

26. Well

when I see you "farm" and "garden" aren't exactly the first things that come to mind...

[Aristus]

30. No. the words "plowing" and "grazing" are the first to come to mind..

:evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. Must. not. think. of.

"lay of the land."









:hide:

[SOteric]

27. I throw my infertile self

into reading and intelligent discourse. It's a sad, sad thing to have only the knowledge that Africa is a friggin' continent and no babies spitting up on my $150,000 wardrobe or teenyboppers getting knocked up to comfort me.

[Fire Walk With Me]

29. Okay, I'll do it.

"Idiocracy".

Happy?

[pitohui]

31. winners have achievements, losers keep popping out babies, all women know this

intelligent thoughtful women take steps to limit the size of their families

no one is impressed by fertility, any stupid person who can't understand how to use birth control properly can be "fertile" -- and usually is!

no one envies the lady with 5 children, they pity her, and to be honest the pity is usually heavily tinged with contempt because, you know, after two kids, she really should be able to figure out what's causing that

[siligut]

33. "The lefty women I know are threatened by her fertility. Really."

He knows lefty women? I think the knuckle dragger is actually trying to brag. Like we would even associate with this ass.

58. This is what pisses me off.

I had 4 children. If it makes you feel any better for my pathetic liberal soul, my parents had only two and some psychotic babysitter knocked my brother in the head when he was a year old leading to a severe seizure disorder and subsequent profound mental retardation. He can't take care of himself much less have children, so in the grand scheme of my generation in my family, we still broke even here.

Thanks for your open mind and respect for choices others make. Blanket statements such as your would alienate lesser people into feeling excluded from the Democratic Party which is the ENTIRE freeper talking point. Fortunately some of us are better and more knowledgeable than that and while I understand in theory what you're saying obviously, again, it it divisive and unnecessary. On a global scale, education and options lead most women to better family planning all on their own without lectures.

[dawgmom]

61. >

I stand by my original statement. Zero population growth. Live it. Believe it. Americans, especially, are killing this planet with over-consumption. Knowing that and living it IS a Democratic ideal.

And btw, ZPG calculations take into account non-child bearers. You earn no points for having the children your brother couldn't have. The statistical ideal is actually 1.8 children per couple.

I don't see a culture in America that celebrates population control. What I see is a culture that goes ape-shit every time some woman has an obscenely large litter of babies, as when the media goes nuts over multiple births. Those idiots the Duggers actually have a freakin' TV show now, as if the specials weren't enough.

It's a uterus, not a clown car.

[Zuiderelle]

69. My, you are disgusting.

[Midlodemocrat]

77. You, my friend, are too kind.

I'm totally with you. What a flaming asshole.

[Ikonoklast]

75. I have three children, all good liberals.

Thank god narrow-minded fools like you don't make the rules for the rest of us.

[Zuiderelle]

59. They'd love you in China. You should move right now.

:eyes:

[dawgmom]

63. Welcome to ignore.

[Zuiderelle]

66. Excellent. I must be in good company!

[PeaceNikki]

60. Aren't you a peach?

:eyes:

[dawgmom]

65. Welcome to ignore.

[PeaceNikki]

67. Sweet. One way to "StopTheMadness", no?

:*

[AlCzervik]

62. wow you should run for something, really.

:wow:

[Ptah]

64. Stop talking about my mama.

:evilfrown: :wtf: :spank: :nuke: :thumbsdown:

[dawgmom]

68. Different time -- nobody knew any better

I come from a family of four myself.

[IndianaJones]

70. I have 3. the 3rd was to offset you in particular. nt.

[Shakespeare]

71. Oh, do get over youself.

Good god, what a jerk you are.

[RetroLounge]

72. And your statement shows you're an idiot

EOM

RL

[Dora]

73. Your opinion is legitimate. Your name-calling is offensive.

You want to make a point? Stop calling people names.

[Danger Mouse]

76. This post is just about as uncalled for as it gets.

What right have you to judge?

[skygazer]

35. I continue to look for a gun-toting, hard-drinking moran to breed with

But they have better taste than to hang around with me. :(

[LeftyMom]

36. By remembering that I prefer quality to quantity.

:rofl:

[crim son]

37. The FReeper couldn't have been serious.

First, I can outdo any woman in the area of fertility, but I have chosen not to. Second, I would say it's more likely that Palin and other conservative women envy and resent the freedom we lefties give women to choose what they do with their bodies.

Honestly, how deluded can these people be?

[NewJeffCT]

39. I think you'd be surprised

These are people who had a yard sign "No Ape in '08" in reference to Obama... when the sign made headlines, the guy claimed he couldn't think of anything else that rhymed with '08.

First off, Ape and Eight don't rhyme.

And, my 5 year old daughter could probably come up with a few on her own - date, hate, late, mate, bate, cate/kate, rate, trait, sate, nate, etc.

[crim son]

40. I'm laughing, noticing that you felt it necessary to point out

the non-rhyme! :rofl:

But I guess you're right... that the guy was serious, but seriously lying. He doesn't know any lefty women who are intimidated by anything about Failin' Palin!

[Shell Beau]

42. WTF?

What sense does that make? I don't want that many damn kids. That is like saying I am jealous of her stupidity!

[NewJeffCT]

44. Now they would respond

You don't want any kids because you're threatened by her fertility. See how perfect is their logic.

[Z_I_Peevey]

43. I call one of my children and vent.

In a pinch, grandchildren will do.

[LynzM]

46. Hahahahaha....

I got pregnant the first time I ever had unprotected sex. Ever.

Take that, Sarah Palin. :rofl:

[SarahB]

56. Me too!

:D

[KamaAina]

47. I would imagine they either adopt cats

or scarf down a pint of Haagen-Dazs Butter Pecan.

:sarcasm:

[mopinko]

48. i have an idea. let's

never mention sarah palin's name again.

btw, i have 5 also. none are knocked up, and none are on their way to iraq instead of jail.

[NewJeffCT]

49. She's an icon to the Freepers, though

and, we need to be prepared for when she tries to run in 2012.

[redqueen]

50. I just pull out my "Every tenth abortion is FREE!" punchcard that I got from the clinic.

Got that sucker halfway filled up I do.

[NewJeffCT]

52. Only half?

Or, is that your second card?

[redqueen]

53. Are you trying to make me feel infertile?

:cry:

[Left Is Write]

82. I guess that makes you an "abortion enthusiast."

:shrug:

(And yes, I really did read that phrase the other day...!)

[NewJeffCT]

83. I think enthusiasm for abortion is a requirement of being a Lefty, no?

we just see pregnant women and hope to convince them to abort!

[Burma Jones]

54. the last time I looked "funny" at my Leftie Wife

another baby just popped out........

My Leftie Wife's so fucking fertile I had to go and have some work done........

[AmyDeLune]

55. HA!1! I've got her beat!!!1!

I'm having all my ova frozen, then I'll have them artificially fertilized, simultaneously implanted and give birth to enough children to populate Alaska all at once!!1!!:silly: HA!!!1!

...because that makes as much sense as being "intimidated" by fertility.:P

[NewJeffCT]

78. and hopefully turn the state blue in the process

I think turning Alaska blue is an uphill battle.

[woo me with science]

74. Wow, over 70 responses, and

not a single Duggar clown car picture.

[1Hippiechick]

79. Her fertility? As she is full of $hit? n/t

[Left Is Write]

81. By trying to prevent additional pregnancies. I've had several.

I have three kids.

I am afraid Sarah Palin's fertility will spark my own back into action (something about fertility molecules circling the air until they find an unsuspecting womb to land on), and I'm just too dang old for that.

[LeftyMom]

85. That sort of thing is how my Dad has a nephew a year older than he is.

At one point, my grandmother and her two oldest daughters all had babies within about a year of each other. Those late-in-life babies can sneak up on you. ;)

[livetohike]

84. Childless by choice here

Her fertility is no concern to me. Her stand on environmental issues is of concern to me.
