Vulva Spaceship
Forget rampant inflation, uncontrolled borders, the collapse of our education system, political leadership that is incompetent and insane, stratospheric crime rates, the decay of morality, and incipient societal implosion. We have a more serious problem that is potentially as vast as the cosmos: phallic-shaped rockets.
This shape makes the most sense from the viewpoint of physics, but these days, the viewpoint of political correctness takes precedence.
A solution comes from Germany. WTF? I mean WBF? has introduced the vulva spaceship:
The group Wer Braucht Feminismus? (WBF?), which translates to “Who Needs Feminism?”, created the Vulva Spaceship concept to challenge the convention of phallic spacecraft design. …
“We want to restore gender equality to the cosmos,” said the group.
If they are restoring it, there must have been gender equality in the cosmos until male chauvinist patriarchs ruined it.
Take Dr Lucia Hartmann seriously or you are both a sexist and a racist:
Top that, Babylon Bee!

Ms. Magazine: Pregnancy Is Not a Benign Condition
If Satan were to design an ideology to promote evil at the most fundamental level, it would not merely wish specific people harm, the way garden variety malign ideologies like Islam and Nazism wish harm on Jews. A truly evil ideology would wish the entire human race the ultimate harm — it would wish people not to exist.
One ideology that takes malevolence to this extreme is radical environmentalism, which demands humans stop existing for the sake of the weather. Another is feminism, as demonstrated by this Ms. Magazine headline:
Pregnancy and Childbirth Endanger Women’s Lives and Health: “Pregnancy Is Not a Benign Condition”
War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, sustaining life endangers life.
Why are we warned in lurid detail about the minimal risks of abortion, but not told a word about the tremendous risks of continuing a pregnancy?
By definition, no child has ever survived a successful abortion. If that is minimal risk, imagine what tremendous risk must be like.
“Pregnancy is not a benign condition,” said Dr. Warren M. Hern, director of the Boulder Abortion Clinic. “Women die from pregnancy.”
When you want a judicious opinion, turn to an abortionist in the moonbat enclave of Boulder, Colorado.
In 2019, 754 women died from pregnancy-related causes in the U.S.
Compare that to the 629,898 American children whose death by abortion was reported to the CDC in 2019. This does not count women who died as a result of physical or psychological complications of abortion.
Hern calls legalized abortion “one of the greatest public health successes in the history of medicine.” Abortion has killed over 63 million Americans since Roe v. Wade — 10 times as great a “public health success” as the Holocaust.
Covid taught progressives that where the data fail, sheer hysteria can push the agenda forward:
“Pregnancy itself poses a ‘serious health risk,’” said Hern. “A woman’s life and health are at risk from the moment that a pregnancy exists in her body, whether she wants to be pregnant or not.”
Ms. provides a list of symptoms pregnancy might cause even if it doesn’t kill you outright, including fatigue, body aches, frequent urination, and tingling hands.
Everything bad is racist. Pregnancy is no exception:
Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women.
Ms. sells its magazine to left-wing women, not to babies. But half of the babies killed by abortion would have grown up to be women.
Admittedly, if women did not have babies, there would be no sexism — since there would be no people to be sexist.

Addressing the Menace of Benevolent Sexism
If you are polite enough to open the door for women or help them with heavy packages, repent at once, for you have committed benevolent sexism:
Benevolent sexism involves the belief that men should cherish and protect women, and “put them on a pedestal”. This is because women are viewed as being more morally pure, weaker, and in need of protection.
Research proves that those who indulge in benevolent sexism actually hate women. Because this is patent nonsense, it has to be explained with the use of theory:
While it may seem paradoxical that benevolent sexism and hostile sexism are correlated, ambivalent sexism theory holds that benevolent sexism is reserved for “good” women who conform to traditional gender roles. Hostile sexism tends to be directed towards women who are perceived to be seeking to usurp men’s power.
Whether you are letting a woman take the taxi you were first in line for because it is pouring rain, or you are wincing in distaste because a purple-haired 300-pound lesbian is shrieking theory in your face, it is all one sexism.
According to experiments that were no doubt conducted by Experts in the field of sexism, “exposure to benevolently sexist comments led women to perform worse on a cognitive task” and worse yet, “benevolently sexist feedback led to women displaying cardiovascular responses similar to experiencing threat.”
Given a preexisting heart condition, a remark like “Your hair looks nice like that” could kill.
If you see a moonbat acting rudely toward a woman, don’t be quick to condemn; it may be a heroic act of restorative countersexism.
