No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's definitely deliberate: [link]

I stand corrected. And plunged into a combination of anger and depression.

Thrive to spite them

It is deliberate. They keep trying to frame this as a religious issue and that it's not about women. Just like when Santorum back pedaled on his comments that Griswold v Connecticut was a bad decision. He tried to claim it wasn't about birth control, it was about states rights.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I have outrage fatigue.

Good grief, me too. I was getting the outrage back until the current ultrasound-dildo-rape and men-know-best outrages, and now I'm exhausted again.

I had the transvaginal ultrasound before I got my Mirena, and it made me cry. I can't deal with how terrible it would be for someone whose experience was worse than mine. And how those horrible people just don't care. Or else they want it to make a woman feel awful because how dare she?!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Thank you Andy Borowitz:

I can only hope this backfires on them. I want to weep for my country if it doesn't.

Reading The Hunger Games isn't helping with any of my outrage either. It may be time to take a break and catch up on Revenge.

Heh.

RIP Gary Carter. Damn.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, they were right - it's not about women's health.

At least, notin the way we usually mean it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I saw someone captioning it, "casting agents for RL Handmaiden's Tale."

It definitely needs a mockery meme.
