It continued, “We also know that emotionally authentic portrayals of these experiences are still extremely rare — and that’s part of a much bigger lack of honest depictions of certain people’s lives and communities. Okay, this is all fine, but cartoons can have abortions and two of these ones—if not more!—almost certainly have.”745
One Planned Parenthood branch president issued a statement about the controversy saying, “Planned Parenthood believes that pop culture—television shows, music, movies—has a critical role to play in educating the public and sparking meaningful conversations around sexual and reproductive health issues and policies, including abortion.”746
In 2004, a feminist launched the “I Had an Abortion” campaign, encouraging women to “come out” and publicly admit that they had an abortion in order to “reduce the stigma” around it. Some women even wore “I Had an Abortion” t-shirts, including Ms Magazine founder Gloria Steinem.747
A few years later a woman decided to start the “Shout Your Abortion” challenge by posting on her Facebook page that she got an abortion at a Planned Parenthood facility the previous year and encouraged other women to brag online about their abortions too.748 Actress Lena Dunham said she wishes she had an abortion so she could better identify with other women.749
The online dating website OkCupid partnered with Planned Parenthood to allow users to include support of abortion on their profiles and enable people to find others on the site who also support abortion. As you know, all dating sites (and apps) allow people to search for others with common interests like sports, cooking, and other hobbies; but OkCupid was the first to include supporting abortion as a common interest.
“OkCupid’s partnership with Planned Parenthood is really exciting because it enables us to help people connect on the issues that matter to them,” said their Chief Marketing Officer Melissa Hobley.750 “In this current climate, this matters more than ever when it comes to finding ‘your person.’ We know that Planned Parenthood is driving conversations, support and education that millions care about. When we looked at the data, we saw that our community on OkCupid was talking about Planned Parenthood, so we decided to make it easy to find the folks who cared about the same thing.”751
Since there are countless unplanned pregnancies due to reckless sexual behavior by many who use dating apps, I guess OKCupid wanted to ensure guys that if they got one of their dates pregnant she would be happy to kill the baby so it wouldn’t interfere with their future online hookups.
Prostitution is “Freedom”
Prostitution is most often a result of desperate and drug addicted women or young girls who are coerced or forced into the business by gangs and organized crime syndicates. While there are some “high class” escort services, the majority of the sex trade is a dirty and dangerous business that almost everyone agrees is morally bankrupt. Everyone except for liberal feminists.
After the FBI shutdown BackPage.com, an infamous website used by sex traffickers, the organizers of the “Women’s March” (which spawned the creation of the “pussy hats” and hosted Madonna when she said she wanted to blow up the White House), denounced the crackdown. The group’s official Twitter account tweeted, “The shutting down of #Backpage is an absolute crisis for sex workers who rely on the site to safely get in touch with clients. Sex workers rights are women’s rights.”752
They retweeted a post from another group which said, “The crackdown on BackPage is not about ending trafficking; it’s motivated by the patriarchal notion that women should not be free to do what we want with our bodies.”753
The tweet included a graphic that said, “People choose sex work for a wide range of reasons — flexible schedules, higher pay than many entry-level jobs, or just because they enjoy it. There are also many people who engage in sex work because it’s the only option available to them while experiencing homelessness.”754
Liberals’ casual attitude towards prostitution is causing college students to turn to sugar daddies for help paying their tuition and student loans, and of course there are websites (and probably apps) to facilitate that. One of which is Sugar Baby University which claims they have several hundred students signed up from most major universities.755
A Washington Examiner reporter noted, “College is so expensive that students are willing to prostitute themselves to pay for it. While SeekingArrangement.com is not “technically” an escort service, students are, at the very least, objectifying themselves for supplemental income. The vast number of college students signing up demonstrates how the sugar baby trend is quickly emerging as a socially acceptable and typical way of paying for college. Some students are willing to do anything to eliminate student loans, leaving less of a stigma for sugar daddy relationships.”756
USA Today reported on one girl who admitted registering at SeekingArrangement.com, saying, “For the next four years, she met with 30 different men between the ages of 42 and 75. She says the average sugar daddy she met on the site would pay around $1,000 for a one-time meeting, or would set up monthly allowances to help cover her expenses.” She says she made nearly $300,000 while earning her masters degree in writing.757
“I treated it like any other dating site. If you think of it like a normal dating site, it’s just like OkCupid, but for money. So then you think, what’s the point of doing it for free if you can do it for money?”758
A Liberal Democrat politician in England named Dennis Parsons has suggested that career counselors in high schools be able to encourage girls to get into prostitution, saying, “Why shouldn’t they?”759 He’s disappointed that there is a stigma attached to sex workers and he’s upset that recommending such a “career” to students is a violation of school policy. “The fact that we are asking ‘should we seek to prevent people entering sex work?’ is part of the problem,” he said. You wouldn’t ask the question ‘should we prevent people from becoming accountants?’ You’d just take it for granted.”760
Wonder Woman is Sexist
When the film Wonder Woman (2017) came out, many feminists celebrated a female super hero starring in her own big blockbuster film, but some were upset that she shaved her armpits. “It’s really hard to believe that Wonder Woman, who has been on an island filled with strong women her entire life, is worried about waxing and then bleaching her pits,” whined one feminist reviewer.761
“It also comes down to freedom,” she went on. “To have or not have armpit hair is a woman’s choice and it’s one that she’s often judged for. With Wonder Woman standing in as an example of female strength, it would have been exciting to see her with a little hair under her arms. To prove that women — even those who are superheroes — don’t have to cater to beauty standards that are meant to make them more attractive to men. Women can instead celebrate their bodies in whatever way they see fit, hairy pits and all.”762
It isn’t only Wonder Woman’s lack of armpit hair that upsets feminists. A protein bar company called ThinkThin Products had a Wonder Woman tie-in campaign which also angered them because it was “body shaming” fat women by promoting the idea that they could be fit and healthy like Wonder Woman since that’s offensive to those who are overweight.763
