Superheroines and Supervillainesses or Bimbos and Skin Flick Chicks U B the Judge

Now I am no right-wing conservative nor am I a radical feminist, so I believe that smart, strong and sexy can all be rolled into one individual, and I strongly advocate that. So why on earth do our media heroines and villainesses have to be so on or two dimensional? Our media heroes and villains are so well rounded. The heroes are strong, handsome, and intelligent and they have a background all complete with family, friends, enemies, hobbies, and sometimes even a spiritual side. Even the villains in cartoons, comic books, movies or television stories have a history explaining how and why they became evil.

On the other hand, our media heroines just appear on the scene with sketchy backgrounds. They form alliances, but no real relationships. There is usually no explanation for how the villainesses became evil or even how their rivalry with the heroines or heroes began. However, when there is an explanation, it is usually a case of the villainess being a tool of"The Man" to keep a hero or heroine down. An example that comes to mind is from an eighties cartoon, the Smurfs. The main female character Smurfett, was created by the evil Gargamel to seduce and destroy the Smurfs. If it were not for the efforts of Papa Smurf in reprogramming Smurfett or casting a permanent good spell on her, she and the whole Smurf village would have been lost. One thing that almost all of the heroines and villainesses share is their skin-tight, short, skimpy clothing all complete with seductive smiles and mannerisms. Most disturbingly, even the characters who are little girls and teens are very sexualized.

Is this really acceptable? What message is this sending to young and impressionable people about femininity, power, intelligence and most importantly integrity?

Tool Time: 'Aspirin Between the Knees' a Joke to Santorum

Maybe Rick Santorum, Foster Friess and all of the right-wing conservative men are not going to extremes with their efforts to limits women's access to contraceptives and other health services. Rick Santorum says that contraception is dangerous for women. Foster Friess said in an interview with Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC on February 16,2012 that our country is too preoccupied with sex and that in his day, a much simpler time "they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly." On the same day Congress held a hearing on women's reproductive health with no women on the panel. Maybe the conservative lawmakers and supporters aren't right winged. They are just right,just maybe..............

............Duh.....WRONG!!!!!!!!!!What a bunch of crap. Santorum is talking this crazy mess about keeping women out of combat support roles in the military and that it is not right for women to choose to have careers. I really want to organize a sex strike to bring these sexist control freaks to their knees by using the birth control method Mr Friess referred to on last week to protest their serious attempts to throw women back into the dark ages. Sex strikes have worked for women to bring about social change in other countries. There is power in the punany ladies. Let's call it the Un-Occupied Vagina movement. I just hope we aren't as addicted to sex as Foster Friess thinks that we are as American women and that we can make this protest work against the keep 'em barefoot and pregnant agenda. Can you help me please to organize for woman's lives? That's what I'm talking about sisters. This being the beginning of the Lenten season for Christians (I'm ignorant about other faiths so please educate me on other religious observances). Aren't you glad they waited to go crazy and didn't ruin Valentine's day or the weekend before for us? So, this is the perfect time to give up sex for at least the next forty days and forty nights, focus on spirituality and our health as women. However, we should be prepared to fast from sex as long as it takes for the extremist to abandon the bull-crap. We may want to give our bodies a break from the Pill or not take the Depo shot when it comes due during this time of sexual abstinence since Santorum is right about the fact that these birth control methods do negative have side effects. Additionally, when we do resume having sex with our husbands or lovers, we can allow them for a very short time to shoulder the burden of wearing protection when we make love. They will then hopefully truly appreciate all that we go through to make life go more smoothly for all parties involved. Will you join me ladies in the Aspirin Between the Knees Sex Strike of 2012?
