Michigan Wimminz Lawmakers Brown & Byrum silenced for saying “vagina” and attempting to regulate vasectomies.
June 15, 2012 by Uppity Woman
Do you remember when Florida State Rep Scott Randolph (D-Uterus) said the obscene word “Uterus” in front of all of Florida’s God and Vagina-Fearing Republicans, and all hell broke lose when the leadership declared that this was an inappropriate and obscene word to say on the floor in front of young pages and visiting children? If you don’t remember that, then read That filthy, disgusting and obscene U-word.
Hell, that was nothing. Now women (you know, those creatures that own the vaginas all these legislators want to regulate) dare not mutter the word, “Vagina” on the same legislative floors where men try to regulate vaginas.
Yes that’s right folks. This is happening right here in the USA.
We have Congress and State legislators and other jerkoffs discussing and probing our vaginas practically day and night. We have to listen to them discussing our menstrual periods as well (See Arizona regarding a woman being considered pregnant on the first day of her period, even if she hasn’t had any sex and doesn’t plan to; Just in case!). We’ve watched that dickhead Daryl Issa conduct panel discussions on what to do with women’s reproductive organs while declaring that women are not qualified to testify; And we’ve put up with about all we can take from the Vatican and their obsession with making as many babies as possible to keep women in that kitchen, in between increasing the flock–whether they want to or not. All of this is happening without input from the actual owners of the vaginas being regulated . This doesn’t seem to appear out of place at all to these women-hobbling psychos straight out of a Monty Python skit with actors on steroids.
However, don’t one of you wimminz DARE say Vagina yourselves, you hear? Men will decide what to do with your vagina, ovaries and womb and don’t you dare mention it. Your personal parts and processes belong to your government now. Furthermore don’t you dare discuss Boyz body parts or try to make any legislation that regulates them. Regulations are for you subordinate wimminz not boyz.
Well, Michigan House Rep and obviously Uppity Bitch Lisa Brown got that all wrong. These damned bitches just are so hard to train, who let them in the chambers, dammit.
It seems that Brown…..sputter… referred to her ewwwwwy vagina on the floor and completely forgot that her vagina is not her own. To make matters worse, her co-conspirator, Rep. Barb Byrum, indirectly referred to men’s parts with Brown’s blessings, which is a definite bad thing because men’s body parts belong to men and women’s body parts belong to men. That was two strikes against this obviously audacious and aggressive woman.
As punishment for speaking out of turn and not submitting to their superiors, Reps Brown and Byrum were barred from speaking on the floor on any issue.
A Michigan lawmaker was blocked from speaking on the state House floor as punishment for referencing her private parts in an earlier speech.
In a Wednesday speech on a controversial bill that would further regulate abortions, Rep. Lisa Brown concluded, “Finally Mr. Speaker, I’m flattered that you’re all so interested in my vagina, but ‘no’ means ‘no,’” according to The Detroit News. A day later, House Republicans refused to allow Brown, a Democrat, to weigh in on a school employee retirement bill.
This gets better.
Here you can see how Rep Brown created her own third strike against herself by supporting regulating the Sacrament of Vasectomy, which incidentally, has to do with men’s reproductive parts and therefore is neither wimminz’ business nor government business in the same way that vaginas are. So she and Rep Barb Byrum were barred from speaking, a punishment akin to Go Stand In The Corner because you displeased the Principal. (And just wait till your father gets home, bad girl! Now fetch me a beer!).
A spokesman for Michigan Speaker James Bolger released a statement explaining that Brown and fellow Democratic Rep. Barb Byrum “will not be recognized to speak on the House floor today after being gaveled down for their comments and actions yesterday that failed to maintain the decorum of the House of Representatives.” (Byrum had tried to introduce an amendment to ban vasectomies except when one’s required to save a man’s life.)
The obviously insubordinate and fractious Reps. Brown and Byrum got pretty sick and tired of this crap, so they had the audacity to hold a press conference of their own. It also appears that some other citizens showed up to support them. But, coincidentally, unless I missed something in this video, none of the Michigan Legislative boyz are very supportive of the concept that vaginas belong to women and men have no right to Regulate them. I don’t see what appears to be one male State House Democrat in this video. Or maybe they just all had a “prior commitment’ and couldn’t make it to this press conference:
Imagine the nerve of these two broads, fighting back against regulation of their bodies!
I recommend the witch burnings proceed immediately. I suggest they tie bricks on these two wimminz feet, throw them in the river and check to see if they float. But first, let us preview a Committee On What To Do About Women In Our Chambers, led by Michigan House Speaker James Bolger.

Remember the massive protest mail outs of 2008, when we sent all sorts of items to the Dem Party to protest their treatment of Hillary and the deplorable theft of the nomination for Obama? I would love to see a deluge of maxi-pads sent to these male legislators – and to the bozos in DC who want to usurp vaginal control, as well.
These good ole boys have taken crazy to a whole new level. Every self-respecting woman in America should be mad as hell, and determined not to take this crap anymore.
And Freud thought all females had “penis envy”! What about male Envy of the V? These dudes have it, big time.

I’ve taken the liberty of substituting “racism” with “sexism” here, with (insincere) apologies to David T. Wellman*:
Sexism extends considerably beyond prejudiced beliefs. The essential feature of sexism is not hostility or misperception, but rather the defense of a system from which advantage is derived on the basis of sex. The manner in which the defense is articulated – either with hostility or subtlety – is not nearly as important as the fact that it insures the continuation of a privileged relationship. Thus it is necessary to broaden the definition of sexism beyond prejudice to include sentiments that in their consequence, if not in their intent, support the sexes status quo.

One thing, of many, that fries my oatmeal about so many of these andoid congress critters, politicians, pastors, priests, deacons, popes, ministers, rabbis, (oh, keep it simple!)… so many of these males is this:
Males are ‘fertile” 24/7. Women are fertile only several days a month. This means males can impregnate 24/7.
Since they are focussing on what they view as a problem, abortion, and one they deem is within their realm to solve,
why are they not focussing on the source, and pitching preventive measures at that source rather than the after-the-fact reality of unwanted pregnancies?
Why are they not legislating for mandatory vasectomies for males? Vasectomies are reversible, meaning, a male and his willing partner who want to conceive a child, could together apply to their surgeons for a reversal. This would solve the problem of unwanted pregnancies, abortions, taxpayers supporting unplanned for children, and deadbeat parents who will not support the children they’ve conceived, it would go a long way in terms of parents who actually want the children they conceive, which in turn would greatly enhance the quality of life of said children.
Think about that 30-something loser who had 11 children with several women and wants the state to help him support them. As it is, he works a menial minimum wage job and each of the women receives monthly support from him in the amount of $1.25!

On CNN today there was this article about the book “50 shades of Grey”.
I have read about the crazy popularity of the book since it came out and no I won’t be reading it I can promise you that. Today I wonder if all these women were motivated and mobilized about something that helps some form of humanity, that would be a story and something to brag about. But really..reading soft porn,is it really engaging and empowering women in positive ways?
http://geekout.blogs.cnn.com/2012/06/15/fifty-shades-of-confused-why-do-people-like-this-book/?hpt=hp_c2

Ha ha Dances.
I was railing about the soft porn book that women across the country is lining up for (3 books) 50 shades of Grey. Some guys at the end of the article commented that they loved that women were crazed by the book because it means sex, sex sex for them. I wonder how many unwanted babies, babies that people cannot afford to bring into this world, some of these readers would find themselves with. Like I always tell Fred (dog), its all fun and games until someone ends up in a cone. (cone collar for you non pet owners).

VAGINA
25 Republican-Approved Ways to Say ‘Vagina’ Without Offending Political Pussies
By Erin Gloria Ryan, Jun 15, 2012 11:40 AM
SHARE
Yesterday, two female state representatives in Michigan were banned indefinitely from speaking on the floor of the State House because they refused to fall in line during a debate about abortion. The Republican who banned Reps. Lisa Brown and Barb Byrum said some nonsense about “decorum,” and another GOP-er took offense at her use of “no means no.” But this excuse doesn’t make a lot of sense, and so the women have been left to speculate about the real reason they were given the boot. Byrum spoke out of turn, but Brown’s most egregious crime seems to be using the word “vagina” in the presence of delicate Republican man-ears. So what’s a female legislator trying to defend her vagina against government intrusion to do?
Infantile slang! Here are 50 ways that Michigan women can use to refer to their “special husband zone” around men who find medically accurate words for women’s anatomy offensive, and suggested ways to use them in a sentence.
1. Love cave
Honey, can you go buy me some tampons at the store? My love cave is bleeding.
2. Baby chute
When I get home from work, I want you to put your mouth on my baby chute.
3. Forbidden area
It may seem unfair that Adam makes more money than Molly simply because Molly has a forbidden area, but that’s the way of the world.
4. Basement
The President inserted a cigar into Ms Lewinsky’s basement, then put the cigar in his mouth and said: “It tastes good”
5. Kid factory
Did you hear that Virginia passed a law requiring trans-kid factory ultrasounds for women seeking abortion?
6. Sin gash
My roommate’s not going out tonight because she has a yeast infection in her sin gash.
7. [uncomfortable silence]
Mr. Speaker, I’m uncomfortable with the government’s sudden interest in my [uncomfortable silence].
8. Man trap
Car insurance costs less because having a man trap makes you less reckless.
9. Hermetically sealed shame basket
Luckily, her gynecologist made sure to be gentle when prodding her hermetically sealed shame basket.
10. Spousehole
If I wanted the government in my spousehole, I’d fuck a Senator.
11. Schmegina
I can’t help it if I have a heavy flow and a wide-set schmegina.
12. Mystery machine
Don’t use flavored lube to make your mystery machine taste better.
13. Rape invitation
After sleeping with a man who claimed to be Joe Francis, Laura began experiencing discomfort in her rape invitation.
14. Wide receiver
Inez isn’t a slut; but her wide receiver is rarely unoccupied.
15. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
Why is it that men think that women really love it when they jackhammer the shit out of their Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?
16. Untapped resource
If you want to be tough, grow an untapped resource. Those things can take a pounding.
17. Inferiority complex
After a particularly difficult delivery, a woman’s inferiority complex may need a few stitches.
18. Spaghetti junction
After a romantic weekend at a bed and breakfast, Helen’s spaghetti junction needed a break.
19. Despair
The cool thing about this new vibrator is that it stimulates all of the most sensitive parts of your despair.
20. God’s stab wound
He told me I had the prettiest God’s stab wound he’d ever seen.
21. Penis house
I want to try using a Diva Cup, but I fear that my penis house is oddly shaped.
22. The not-so-fresh place
Moving from phonetics to etymology, ‘the not-so-fresh place’ originates from a word meaning sheath for a sword.
23. Pelvic interior
As compensation for their labors, men are given periodic use of a woman’s pelvic interior.
24. Kant
So few men understand how to navigate Kant.
25. Vulva
So there you have it! Nice, sanitized words for ladyparts that won’t scare Republicans. But a word of advice, for future reference: if you can’t bring yourself to say the name of the thing you’re trying to legislate, you should probably just let that shit go. It was never yours to begin with.

“Obama latest attempt to eke out goodwill from the Hispanics”
“end run around Congress to impose his new policy”
Just curious, are you folks against this new policy itself, or just against it because of the timing of when it was released.
The repub’s have absolutely refused to allow a vote on the “DREAM ACT” by using the filibuster. There is no way the Dems to get this bill a fair vote. This new policy doesn’t go as far as the “DREAM ACT” would go. This policy only gives a temporary relief. Undocumented immigrants will be protected from deportation if they prove that they were brought to the United States before they turned 16 and are younger than 30, have been in the country for at least five continuous years, have no criminal history, graduated from a U.S. high school or earned a GED, or served in the military.
So this is my question, do you object to the actual message(policy), or just the messenger(obama) and the assumed motives behind that messenger. (the political gain)
DancesWithPumas 06.15.12 at 6:23 pm
I oppose to the timing, the policy, the end run, and the messenger; although, the rulz are pretty good ones.
I’m confused by your statement: “the policy only gives temporary relief”.
freddiebrown 06.15.12 at 6:36 pm
OMG Dances.
I was going to ask that same question. Except I asked “And what the hell does
temporary relief mean?”
I opposed all and everything about this policy. I’ve paid enough taxes for nonsense and I am not willing to pay more taxes for illegals nor to encourage future illegals.
To all those who welcome this policy – timing notwithstanding. I have a solution. Assuming these people that support this policy PAYS taxes… on your return there is an area where you can elect to donate $2 (or something)to the wildlife foundation (and whatever else). I think people ought to be able and willing to check off how much they would like to donate to support these illegals. Ya, put your money where your mouth is otherwise STFU !! It is grand to have that high horse to ride into fairy land but hey show me the money you’d like to pitch in to help, won’t you ???
DancesWithPumas 06.15.12 at 6:55 pm
Actually, I’m against all immigration (legal or illegal) from countries that place women is 2nd class status and demand they (we) adhere to rigid assigned gender roles.
And, I also do not believe criminals should be rewarded.

“I’m confused by your statement: “the policy only gives temporary relief”
This policy does not give them an accelerated path to citizenship, all it does is say that for two years you will not be deported, and can possibly be given a temporary work permit for two years. This new policy is just temporary relief for them, only promises two years. After two years, if the dead lock congress hasn’t done anything, they will be back to where they were to start with. (the policy is basically the same as if he would have given temporary relief from being kicked out of the military to lesbians and gay before don’t ask, don’t tell passed)
Hope that makes it more clear, sorry for the confusion.

There is no reason to be snippy, it was a valid question as to how the members of this blog view immigration reform. My broken watch is right twice a day, that doesn’t mean I like it, or count on it.

I don’t think the question warranted that that flippant response.

Isn’t this an executive order?
He rejected the GOP argument that Obama’s move was all about politics, noting “there will be those who vote against him because of this decision, too. That’s what leadership is about.”
Durbin also noted that Obama repeatedly called for Congress to pass immigration reform legislation, including the DREAM Act. Now that it is clear no progress would occur this Congress, the president acted, Durbin said.
Obama has used executive orders more frequently in recent months to launch initiatives he advocates that have been stymied by the deep partisan divide in Congress. A White House campaign of such steps involving economic programs was labeled “We Can’t Wait.”

No, it is not an executive order. This is just Obama telling the immigration department the new policy is that if these people fit this description and these circumstances (by using their legal discretion) to grant them a two year deferred action. It is legal discretion the immigration office already has, (like a cop choosing to right you a ticket, or letting you go with just a warning) Obama is just asking them to grant the two year deferred action if the person fits those parameters.

Just to be clear, I refuse to allow that empty suit in the white house turn me away from the values and principles I hold dear. I will not turn from the core principles and policies JUST because he happens to get to put his name on them, and I will continue to fight against those that stand as obstructionist simply because they fear that anything that is good policy or that will actually move this country forward might help him get reelected.
IT IS WRONG to fight against or become an obstructionist to good policy/procedures/laws and allow this country and the people within this country to suffer just because they fear he might jump in and take credit for it.
Obama, or fear OF Obama will not turn me from my core democrat values, I WILL NOT give him that kind of POWER over me. If standing up and fighting for those values/principles is seen as “chastising” and making you feel “obligated” to correct me on this blog, you just let me know. Because if that is true I should not be here any longer. I will certainly make it so that I never put you in that position again.
freddiebrown 06.16.12 at 2:40 am
Invalid, I am sorry to say your views are just like your name. Perhaps a coincidence. Don’t patronize us by saying “IT IS WRONG to fight against or become an obstructionist to good policy/procedures/laws ” Perhaps we should start our Kumbaya because suddenly you feel a kinship with your president ever since he was for gay marriage. I am all for gay marriage but I don’t have a tingle in my leg for your president.
Perhaps also, we are wrong to assume that you insinuate that we are so clueless and shallow that we cannot see the good in Obama even when the CORE values he suddenly parades is for the good of all mankind.
Perhaps also, we should suddenly embrace that illegals are suddenly OK because Obama thinks we should do what is right, right before election when his polls are trending down.
Perhaps also, YOU should come to California to experience for yourself what a Fucking problem illegals are. Have you ever had to give up hiking some pristine hillside, to give it up because there are too many signs of illegals, meeting groups of them hiding in trails and not knowing if you and your dog would get jumped. Never mind a minute that there are trolley loads of them coming into San Diego to go to schools on our dime – OUR DIME, not yours. Never mind that they fill up our emergency rooms. I don’t necessarily mind that if I don’t see it daily but I mind that your president, uses his power to further his career. Everything is Honkey Dory if it is not in your backyard, right ?
More power to you if you want to stand up to your CORE values…there are lots of illegals out here. I can round up quite a few easily – so you can stand up with them. I wonder what you mean by “stand up”. Does that mean a warm tingly, I am better than thou feeling? or new found support for your President or do you and have you given a bit of pocket change to some Mexican recently ??
Perhaps we have such a fear of Obama as you so nicely suggest, that his power over us is so paralyzing that we cannot see or bear to see the light of his ways. Pardon me while I go see if I can find a utube of him parting the waters.
Either way, don’t be one of those that threaten not to be here again if you feel corrected, blah blah blah….this is an open entry / exit blog.

Just wondering if anyone here has read the book? Delle ?
****
No Freddie – that is definitely not my type of book.
Actually right now I am reading a book called “American Eve”. It’s about the exceptionally beautiful young model, Evelyn Nesbit, who was tossed around from man to man. The usual story. What makes her story worthy of a book, is the fact that her husband murdered her lover while he was sitting in the rooftop restaurant of Madison Square Garden. This happened in 1906 and the murdered man was Stanford White, the most famous architect in the country at that time. From there the story became the ‘Crime of the Century’.
It’s a very interesting book. It has a little of everything – including a look at what life was like in NYC at the turn of the last century.
FLBarbara 06.16.12 at 7:34 am
“Core Values” and Obamas name do not belong in the same sentence.
His core values have not a damn thing to do what is “best for the American people” they revolve around what is best for Obama Period. I am not shocked at his edict at all..its his get out the vote campaign as with his “evolving” with same sex marriage. I am surprised we didn’t hear a Malia and Sasha have friends who are illegals story.
Let me be very honest here..I do not like this man..he stole his presidency, do I need to remind anyone here of that. He and the DNC showed us their core valued democratic principals on May 31, 2008 and they didn’t give a rats ass about what was best for the American people then and they don’t now. He is a fraud and his presidency is a mockery of the office.
For me, core values include standing up for truth. He is a Liar. His sanctimonious speeches infuriate me. Preaching about fairness and what’s right and just. If he gave a damn about those core values in 2008 Hillary would be President. Too damn bad he didn’t stand up in Denver and say “I want what’s best for the American people and it is NOT me its Hillary. But we are told the boy with no morals/principals/values has evolved. It was BS then and its BS now.
He could part the seas and I wouldn’t give him one ounce of support because I will never forget and I will never forgive what he stole from me and Hillary and this country.
I want him to be a one term president because I want his legacy to read FAILURE…and IF accomplishing that means my core values are compromised till November so be it.
One and Done.

I really appreciate the posts at Hillaris44, but the last time I posted there, I was attacked. They seem to have some kind of “if we all say it is so, then it is so” policy there that makes them more of a propaganda blog than a discussion blog.
I agree absolutely with FlBarbara, but I hope that does not shut down open discussions here. Obviously BO manipulates all issues to his advantage. So, even if the issue is legitimate, it can hold or fold depending on how his wind is blowing.
That does not invalidate the importance of the issue. Just BO’s position n it.

Rendell added that he worked tirelessly on Clinton’s campaign: “I believe Hillary Clinton would have made a great president in 2008, and, as you know, I worked my heart out for her. In the last month and a half of the campaign I was almost the last spokesperson she had; in fact, one reporter called me the last of the Mohicans. But her job as secretary of state has convinced me, and I think also has convinced millions of Americans, that she would have been a lights-out president.”

Obama has had not quite 4 years to work on redesigning our immigration policies, especially as they pertain to illegal entrants to the US. He could have bailed out those he is targeting now, but, he didn’t. Now, 5 months before the election, suddently he spews a temporary bandaid solution that will affect 800,000 illegals for two years. Why not sit his bulbous ass down and do some actual work on a comprehensive longterm policy?
Obama said he supported gay marriage and promised to stand by gays 16 years ago. During his 2008 campaign and throughout his presidency he relied on his “evolving” stance statements instead of stating what he, ostensibly, believed in. Then, 6 months prior to the election, with waning support and DONATIONS, he’s all about Teh Gey.
Obama doesn’t do anything because it’s the right thing to do. Everything he does is for his own benefit. He will use and abuse anyone and everyone to that end.
Forgive me for not jumping for joy because he is using serious human issues in a seriously inhumane way.

——————————–
A temporary solution for a smal segment of people in the US illegally garnered by an end run around Congress does not qualify as good policy/procedure/law. What Obama was wrought can easily be reversed by the next president.
Ironically, Obama wasn’t will to do an end run around congress when the issue was DADT. I paraphrase, but basically he said, I want to do this the right way. I want it to go through congress. Of course, he was in as strong a campaign mode as he is now, whoring for dollars.

Oh baloney.
The last two times you commented (once re: gay marriage and this second time re: illegal entrants to the US) you were in fighting mode. Your comments were flavored with accusatory assumptions and commentary.
You should realize by now that for many of us the issues Obama is now seen as a champion of were a given with Hillary.
I know you must recall domestic partnerships were recognized at Hillary’s State Dept from the get go. She doesn’t use human rights as a bargaining chip to self-empower herself, she does it because doing the right thing is part and parcel of her DNA.
Given the contrast, most of what the Amateur does is a clusterfuck for many of us.
PS We each have our pet issues. My primary focus is women and girls, lesbian or het or asexual as a class. Everything else is secondary. What major accomplishment has Obama achieved for women and girls specifically.

I’m wondering if teh cufflinks are a more sinister equivalent of the tie Monica Lewinsky gave to Bill Clinton.
JP Morgan CEO testifies wearing the Presidential cufflinks given to him by a White House resident.

If this isn’t an eye-opener, I don’t know What Is.
This is JP Morgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon flashing his Presidential Cufflinks. Make that his Presidential Cufflinks given to him by and Unnamed White House “Resident”.
Mr Dimon says he uses them for his “best” dressup days. Apparently, a day in which he testifies before Congress regarding the millions he took off with after JP Morgan lost $2 billion is just that kind of day.
Yes that’s right. He testified in his cufflinks.

Yet another “Historic” notch on Obamas belt.
The emails are a flying. I am furious at his get out the vote give me praise and give me money I have risen again and I will save you all..from the evil doers.
Barbara –
Today, I am reminded of why I’m working so hard to re-elect President Obama. His decision to make our immigration system more fair and more just for nearly one million young immigrants is nothing short of historic.
I hope you’ll read the message below from Katherine Archuleta, National Political Director on the Obama campaign, and then join me and other supporters in standing with the President on immigration reform:

Barbara, I got tons of those emails myself. Enough to make me vomit.

From day one, he has tried to show the world he is the boss man.
He robbed us of our very first female President – Hillary Clinton.
I stand proudly by my conviction. Nothing Obama can say, do or threaten will make me change my mind about him. I am single minded, tunnel visioned and proud of it.
