I’m not going to say too much about the supreme level of imbecile that is republican representative Todd Akin. The Onion did such a good job, I don’t have to.
The Onion has a fantastic take on why Akin is such a monumental dumbfuck when talking about women who had been sexually assaulted. Maybe if he had known a woman who had been sexually assaulted, in any way, ever, he might have more sympathy (I’m assuming he’s incapable of empathy). This is pretty much what he sounds like to most women.
I could readily rip him a new one about how he is a General in the war on women and how he proves my point that the men trying to tell women what to do with their bodies deliberately know nothing about them, etc. but the Onion really cuts to the point. I particularly like the part that says “I am essentially everything that’s wrong with this country and with humanity in general.” The entire last paragraph is also full of win and accuracy.
I might also add that Akin is a fan of abstinence only sex education. An education of reproductive health that centers on Jesus might help explain his extremely erroneous ideas regarding women’s bodies. Maybe if he and other people in America were getting factual information, they would know that women can’t voluntarily shut down a pregnancy (a superpower many women would have exploited by now).
