What is a Pussy Grab? - Repeated for the Gymnasts testifying.

We talk about PUSSY GRAB but nobody really defines the event. It does not sound all that bad. Sounds kind of cute and a bit funny. Some Republican said "What assault. There was no sex. Nothing really happened. She got away."

Anybody want to tell me this event is not sexual assault? I was frightened and humiliated. Did I get away?

The Cartoon Artist in this article is Steve Stack. Man is a SuperStar. Say his Name. 

I was 15 and babysitting for my Mother's friend, Ada Jean. I admired Ada Jean's collection of sparkly dangly earrings and thought her so sophisticated and glamorous. Ada and Hubby were dressed for dancing. I had my PJs on and was about to go to sleep. Her husband came into the bedroom. He pussy grabbed me and told me he would "be back to see me soon."

This is how a pussy grab works. You put your thumb at the top of the cleft, press hard to get through the vaginal lips with another finger, and stick the finger(s) into the vagina as far as the PJs will go and scratch the inside lining of the entrance to the vagina with a fingernail. I was a virgin. He hurt me for fun. I said nothing to my Mother. I felt confused and ashamed. I had no idea what sex was. That was how you kept girls pure in 1950s; you kept them ignorant. Soon came a week later.

Nobody locked their doors in 1958. I was home in curlers by myself. Manpig came into the house with his trousers unzipped, a hard on in hand with condom and said "See, I wore this just for you." I was calculating how I was going to defend myself when he inexplicably left without further ado. Never saw him again. Never saw a grown man's penis before that. No big deal, right?

I told my Mother. My Mother called Ada Jean and I listened to the conversation. His wife and my Mother knew he did things like that. They knew. They did not protect me but at least they believed me. Mom believed me because the Sexpig grabbed her by the pussy. Did anybody call the cops? Nope. Nothing happened, right? Little pussy grab.

TROLL DISAPPOINTED

“. . . it's dangerous to fool yourself into believing the online world is 'virtual' and the person behind the keyboard can't inflict real-life harm.”
― Ginger Gorman, Troll Hunting: Inside the World of Online Hate and its Human Fallout
“Certainly it constitutes bad news when the people who agree with you are buggier than batshit.”
― Philip K. Dick
Although it may not be obvious at first, your Troll has a goal. Never give it satisfaction or success once you have figured out what it wants. The simplest and best response of all is NO THANK YOU.

Do not feed Trolls. Take this aphorism to the maximum. Do not feed political Trolls and Ivanbots on social media. Peace must begin here at home where we live and have our being. I thought this Talk was useful. 

That said, I must admit I Troll the Internet. My Jessica said "Face it, Mom. You are a Troll." Yeah, well I am a Troll for Good. If you want to beat them, join them.

Infant and Mother Mortality in America

The Artist is Favianna Rodriguez.

Anthropologically speaking. H. sapiens has three strategies and three strategies only for control of reproduction (births) = contraception, abortion and infanticide/child abandonment. All three strategies are practiced around the world in every culture, currently and historically.

Those who restrict abortion and contraception make infanticide and maternal death inevitable. We have many in vitro examples of this. The one that haunts me the most at the moment is the mass grave of infants at Tuam. Anti Choice Zealots do not occupy the moral high ground.

More American women are dying of pregnancy-related complications than any other developed country. Only in the U.S. has the rate of women who die been rising.

Our infant mortality rate is a national embarrassment
https://www.washingtonpost....

Texas’ maternal death rates top most industrialized countries. Infant mortality rates vary by race.

Reproduction is serious business for women. Abortion and contraception are human rights, both part of comprehensive health care for women.

Senor PuttingItIn Sighs "Bozhe moy!"


Spring is here and bipolar bunnies like me can think and hop again. I told you I was Struck Dumb. So I put this together. And then I found the perfect illustration on Raw Story comment. Count on Cagle Cartoonists. They are the bomb! 

I have not paid them for this cartoon. I feel guilty. google has denied me the use of adsense. I am thinking about putting up a paypal contribution link so I can afford to stop pirating great cartoons.

We are Chimpanzees with a bit of extra brain power. Cannot refute such an obvious fact. I like Martin Buber: 'One must work to be good, but one happens to be evil.' Hope and faith in humanity against all the evidence.

Quick he hired an audience
To claque for what He sez.

"See my swagger? G.O.P.
I will grab your pu^^y.
You will elect me.
Just you wait and see."

Donnie Bonespurs

I have so enjoyed
My fat American toy.
