I miss Molly Ivins, but I love Amanda Marcotte
Amanda Marcotte has a great post about the Texas AG attempting pressure the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to reinstate the ban on dildos. The YouTube clip embedded in the post features the late, great Molly Ivins, who would have had a field day with this lunacy. I miss Ivins' wit, but Marcotte's own comments are not to be missed:
"I'm trying to imagine the mindset of a man who doesn't realize that when you try to take dildos away from women, basically everyone with a brain and/or a sense of humor is going to assume it's because you're afraid you can't handle the competition." [emphasis added]
Could fear of the feminine be the real cause of the Great Texas Dildo Massacre? No, I'm certain that Marcotte is correct when she writes that:
"No misogyny, control issues, or wariness of female sexuality has any part to play in this."
