Damn, these signs are good (Women's March):

[demmiblue]

[BlueGreenLady]

1. Those Are some great signs!

Thanks for posting.

[Irish_Dem]

2. OMG these signs are fabulous.

I am so proud of these young women.

[a kennedy]

3. OMG.....and the post ahead of me just said it.......I love these women......

[stillcool]

4. Those are awesome.

someone cutting onions? A few signs should not do this.

[Solly Mack]

5. K&R

[iemanja]

6. "If pregnancy is God's will, so is limp dick."

[OrangeJoe]

15. Funny quote, but not really accurate

First off I am 100% prochoice and actually think men should just STFU about the issue. However I've noticed that many young women like to joke about Viagra. First of all "Medicare generally does not cover Viagra or other medications for ED treatment. Under Medicare guidelines for coverage, these medications are not considered medically necessary." Medicaid doesn't cover it either.

A second more important point. For every hetro man using Viagra there is a happy hetro woman whom can still enjoy sex. One would think that the young would have a little more compassion for their elder sisters, because their day is coming. It's biology and you can't escape it.

[iemanja]

16. The point is

men's dicks are held as sacred, while women's bodies are treated as property.

[North Shore Chicago]

44. Yup

Mens dicks are SAC(rosanct).

[OrangeJoe]

53. No argument there

[efhmc]

18. Not the same in any way shape or form.

An erect penis lasts a few minutes maybe but a pregnancy lasts 9 months and the responsibility for a child last forever.

[OrangeJoe]

54. Not saying you are wrong at all

I just know that ED drugs help older women enjoy sex.

[North Shore Chicago]

43. Pssst

Excuse me, but a hetero woman probably does not need an erect penis to enjoy sex or orgasm.

My guess is an erect penis is primarily a mans desire, he believes THAT is what will satisfy a woman.

[soldierant]

52. THIS

They think it's a magic wand. It isn't.

To quote Samatha Bee (from memory so might have some minor inaccuracy): "Even the woman who loves you more than anyone else in the world wants you to hurry up and get it into her so she doesn't have to look at it."

[OrangeJoe]

57. Hasn't been my experience

Samantha Bee is very funny and I have no way of knowing her true desires. But her experience is not the same as mine.

[OrangeJoe]

55. Toys work.

But I know my wife likes the real thing as well as everything leading up to it.

[OrangeJoe]

66. Don't attack your allies

If you truly believe that, then you can't argue that contraceptives should be free. (n.b. I think they should be free to anyone without question or permission slips from parents, etc.). In your scenario men aren't involved therefore women can't get pregnant which means right wingers restrictions have no effect on women. Unless you are arguing that full p and v sex should only be used for procreation you aren't making sense. Again, you can enjoy sex anyway you want, but for many older men and women a little bit of chemical help keeps the fire burning and you should check your privilege and recognize that fact.

[iemanja]

72. Good for you

So much for women's rights. You honed in on what really matters in society: men's sex lives. That is why men are never held accountable for the women they impregnate, while women's bodies are pathologized. Thanks for sharing your priorities.

[OrangeJoe]

74. Read what I wrote

I wrote "for many older men and women a little bit of chemical help keeps the fire burning. Nowhere did I "hone in on what really matters in society: men's sex lives". I emphasized that older men AND WOMEN benefit from the little blue pill. I am assuming you are young and unfortunately have no regard for others who are not in your demographic. Someday you'll see.

[iemanja]

84. You insisted on making this discussion about yourself

and you continue to press the matter to the point of anger. This OP is about a protest for women's basic rights, yet you were more concerned with your own sex life. Those are facts. It's exactly like when white people turn a discussion about race into their own feelings.

[North Shore Chicago]

78. Lol

Have a nice day Orange.

[crim son]

48. Your first point is valid if true.

Your second is not.

[OrangeJoe]

56. Maybe not for you

I'd never attempt to define how you should conduct your love making or what works for you. You should extend the same courtesy to others.

[iemanja]

58. Yet you made a universal proclamation

"A second more important point. For every hetro man using Viagra there is a happy hetro woman whom can still enjoy sex."

You didn't say in your experience.

[dianaredwing]

62. isn't there something in there

about a fish and bicycle?

My auto mechanics teacher (both of us female) was from a buffalo ranch and said that the male buffalo were so much of a problem that they froze the sperm to impregnate the females so they'd have less males to deal with.

[OrangeJoe]

67. Do you really mean this?

Your story is very close to the fundamentalist belief that sex should be undertaken only for procreation, not sure you really want to go there.

[dianaredwing]

73. not a matter of belief

simply a tongue in cheek reference and a true story from a buffalo rancher

[OrangeJoe]

75. It is a pretty good story.

So let's leave it at that.

[OrangeJoe]

68. Not sure where you are going with this

My point was that many young women fail to acknowledge that many of their elder sisters still enjoy a healthy sex life due to advances in ED drugs. (Enough qualifiers in there for you?) Now from your privileged position of youth and good health you may think that the olds knocking boots is icky, but that's just your ageist prejudice talking.

[iemanja]

70. My nearly 60 year old privilege as youth

try again.

[OrangeJoe]

77. Lucky you

If you are in a relationship that satisfies you without any help from the pharmaceutical industry then congratulations.

[iemanja]

71. the fact that you've managed to turn a discussion about

reproductive rights into your own sex life says just about everything. It's not about you. Your rights aren't under attack.

[OrangeJoe]

76. My reaction was to the admittedly funny sign

Last edited Mon Oct 4, 2021, 01:03 PM - Edit history (1)

I was attempting to provide a little clarification to a subject that is commonly misrepresented. Unfortunately you are stuck with your prejudices and seem to be incapable to understand anything that is not from your viewpoint. You insisted I need to add the phrase "in your experience" and then turn around and accuse me of making this all about me. Bye.

[iemanja]

86. I did NOT insult you

I pointed out that you made a universal proclamation ("every" hetero woman), only to later say it was about your experience. I made an observation about that discrepancy. I NEVER commented on your sex life. You worked yourself into a rage over that simple point. You chose to lash out at me rather than at the people who did comment on what they saw as the lack of necessity for dicks.

You chose to make the conversation personal. I did not, and I resent your making comments about my sex life. I don't discuss such things in open forums because its no one's business. I don't share your self-focus. I care about abortion rights, despite the fact that I am far too old to conceive.

You made it and continue to make it clear what really matters to you: Your own sex life. Coddling the ego of "allies," you insisted, justifies making the conversation about you. That is your male privilege, which is so important to you that you attack women watching their equal rights be destroyed. Being an ally is fighting for the rights of others, not making it about one's own fragility.

[yellowdogintexas]

61. There are some non-government plans which do cover it.

You are quite correct regarding medically necessary and/or effective (true for many items if person is using Medicare). Also, one needs to add "experimental" to the list. If Medicare designates something as experimental, most insurance carriers will follow along.

If the employer who negotiates the plan with the insurance carrier wants it included in the prescription coverage, there is a good chance it will be allowed.

[OrangeJoe]

69. True

My post was really a reaction to the commonly held mistaken belief that ED drugs are fully covered by Medicare. Combine that with the view, consistent with patriarchal beliefs (only men benefit from them), and throw in a little agist prejudice for good measure. Like I said the sign was funny, I get the anger that women feel having to submit to idiotic men telling them what to do with their bodies, but everyone need to examine their own beliefs for bias, too.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Damn but these are superb signs! I am so proud of my sisters! ♥

[redstatebluegirl]

8. Love these! But hey women are the smarter sex!

[Traildogbob]

12. I fully agree

But the Marginal Trailer Queens, Bang Bang Bimboberts, Sara Palins, Blackburn’s, McCain, all Fox women and the newly exposed Karen’s and making that argument tough. But some very stupid men elect and believe what those idiots say.

[calimary]

82. Marginal Trailer Queens!

OMG, I just have to say I LOVE this one! And the Bang Bang one also!

Yeah, name-calling. But sometimes you have to fight with whatever weapons you can find. Trashing their brand is fair game. Especially if their public positioning, statements, and behavior not only invite it, they almost literally beg for it.

[Traildogbob]

83. Maybe being childish

Keeps me young😁 I think MTG is brick house wealthy so the Trailer Queen fits Bang Bang Bimbobert better, but they both exemplify “white” trash spot on. Can’t get whiter, or trashier. Marsha Blackburn has been feeling left out so she is making a strong comeback. She hates the black in her name. Probably why she always acts like that stick up her ass has a stick up it’s ass. The Queen and Bimbobert will make great Halloween costumes and from our side, Kyrsten will do good as well. I still believe women are what will save us, but the fight for equality in stupid has me worried. Look behind Trump at the Kkklan comedy shows, lots of women, lots of stupid. All dressed up for a Saturday night out, (a break from the normal Waffle House/Wresslin/Dirt track) date night, with hooker red lipstick.

[Snackshack]

9. Nice

Especially the “Fallopians 13:13” and “gods will” rt above it.

[Wounded Bear]

10. K & R...nt

[burrowowl]

11. Really good signs!

[Cozmo]

13. I'm so sorry that I didn't march today. Never underestimate the power of women!

[niyad]

36. Especially angry, fed-up women!

[BobTheSubgenius]

14. Those were ALL good.

Some were brilliant!

[smirkymonkey]

17. K&R

[bucolic_frolic]

19. What I take away from that is

Vaginas will vote you out, you limp dicks.

Isn't that what I read?

[KewlKat]

20. Everyone of these is a winner!

[malaise]

21. Fabulous

Thanks

[2naSalit]

22. Fallopians 13:13!!

Those were all good.

[liberalla]

24. Yes that one is very clever! I like the vaginas will vote you out, too!

What am I saying? They're all great!

[mzmolly]

23. Love!

[calimary]

25. Just a whole bunch of "Almond Joy" -

“Indescribably Delicious”!!!

[crickets]

26. All of these are wonderful! K&R

[The Jungle 1]

27. Love it: So is limp dick

[Kath2]

28. I was at the DC event today.

The signs were fabulous and the energy there was incredible.

[sop]

29. Thanks for this post.

[Beartracks]

30. Spot on and clever! BTW, is there a significance to "13:13" ?

[niyad]

35. Not surecwhat it means on the poster, but there are 13 lunar cycles in a year, and

women used to menstruate to those cycles.

[ShazzieB]

31. "Ruth sent us."

That is my favorite. Especially the lace collar. Even the woman's mask has a lace collar! RBG would be so proud. *sniff*

[PlanetBev]

32. One of my all time favorites

“Think outside my box.”

[Hekate]

33. "Ruth Sent Us" just about made me cry

“Limp Dick” being God’s will made me laugh

Sisters!

[niyad]

34. These are fabulous. Would you consider cross-posting in Women's Rights And Issues?

Thanks in advance.

[Takket]

37. The limp dick sign is at least four years old

I discovered this by accident when looking up a claim earlier in this thread the Viagra is not publicly funded. Taxpayer dollars do pay for it for retiree military personnel.

But the article I found is from 2017 and contains a link to the exact same photo. So that photo must be from 2017 or earlier.

Link

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.inquisitr.com/4053164/viagra-government-funded-pregnancy-birth-control-sildenafil/amp

Where did you fond this pictures? They might be from the first women’s march against drumpf maybe??

[yellowdogintexas]

60. OR someone just used her sign from 2017. I think I have seen something very

similar at all 3 of the marches I attended (2017, 2018. 2019)

It is a classic!!

[Takket]

65. it was the same photo of the same woman.

[MurrayDelph]

38. I couldn't go,but if I had

my sign would have said:

"If a man wanted to control a uterus, he should have grown his own when he had the chance."

[Bernardo de La Paz]

40. +1. Some male legislators have vagina envy. . . . nt

[BigmanPigman]

39. Someone came up to me and asked to put mine in the museum

today. That's never happened before. I have hand drawn signs from 22 protests over the past 5 years and most are more elaborate or just better than the one I made for today. I can't post a photo from my tablet but the sign is a take off from the Joan Crawford based movie "Mommy Dearest". It said "No More Wire Hangers" with a red circle and slash through the hanger. I attached a real wire hanger to it and it swung back and forth as I marched.

The really sad part is that several women came up to me as we marched (8,000-10,000 people) and told be real stories of family members who had wire hanger abortions and they were really horrific.

[lordsummerisle]

41. Great signs!

Thanks for posting.

[Vinca]

45. Some of those are definitely t-shirt worthy. I especially liked the faux Bible verse and

"Don't tread on me."

[llmart]

46. These are just so fabulous.

I can't pick a favorite but the one that hit me the hardest was the "Ruth Sent Us". Just amazing.

Thank you to all the wonderful women who marched across the country. Keep the fire burning!!!

[duhneece]

47. Husband listed his daughter, granddaughters, great granddaughter

And me. His sign said,

I’m here for:
Ronda-D
Heather-GD
Madison-GD
Ella-GGD
Denise-W

[StocktonNative]

64. Way to go!

Good Job sticking up for women!

[duhneece]

85. I'm 70 years old, will be married two years Oct 17

So far, so good. Lol

[kpete]

49. My personal favorite

[Hortensis]

50. Damn, yes! Thanks, Demmi. We saw an "Abort Abbott" this morning too.

[Blue Owl]

51. Hell yeah!
