More Hot Chicks In Combat, More Men At The Gyno

by Sulagna Misra

Yeah, we're pretty awesome

This morning is filled with Amazon warriors, college tuition costs, and new and exciting ways to make conservatives mad! Wow, that sounds like a CBS sitcom that’ll never happen.
  • Female soldiers want to be involved in front-line combat. Feminism, bringing you closer to the action! [MSNBC]
  • Jeffrey Neely, the General Services Administration high roller who took Vegas by storm, has left the agency. So sad. [Washington Post]
  • Here is an infographic on college tuition. Tell me what it says, would you, I can’t seem to look at it without my eyes burning. [NPR]
  • Finally, we are one step closer to the male contraceptive pill. They need to hurry up on that, we here at Wonkette are super-excited for how Rush Limbaugh is going to insult a male 30-year-old law student at Georgetown. We’ll start: you… total stud! [BBC News]

I would totally take a contraceptive pill!

…if I could find a fertile chick to fuck an old man

Morning, Sluggo!

Terry May 25, 2012 at 12:40 pm

It's easy. Just be rich or famous, preferably rich AND famous.

widestanceromance May 25, 2012 at 1:11 pm

Or just convince a Kardashian that you are (couldn't be that hard to fool one).

prommie May 25, 2012 at 1:08 pm

Its always possible. Some horrendous catastrophe, asteroid strike or nuclear war, could leave you the last man on earth.

"More Hot Chicks In Combat, More Men At The Gyno"
Anne Coulter is now totally confused.

ManchuCandidate May 25, 2012 at 12:20 pm

Not really. "She's" never needed a gyno.

SexySmurf May 25, 2012 at 12:26 pm

If Manne needs her prostate examined, she just asks Sean Hannity.

Come here a minute May 25, 2012 at 12:12 pm

Republicans will support women in front-line combat if the enemy has women on the front line, because, come on, Girl Fight!

actor212 May 25, 2012 at 12:13 pm

But all those monthly infections! They could destroy the enemy before we can bomb them to hell!

boobookitteh May 25, 2012 at 12:19 pm

They'll all sync up and there will be some kind of nucular PMS explosion.

It's science.

ph7 May 25, 2012 at 12:40 pm

Poor Republicans. In one decade, fags and rags have entered the foxhole.

Doktor StrangeZoom May 25, 2012 at 12:13 pm

Too many snobs going to college! We need an economy based on REAL American values, where no one takes birth control and all the men join the Army.

PubOption May 25, 2012 at 12:15 pm

Sounds like Wasilla values.

nounverb911 May 25, 2012 at 12:17 pm

That was a court ordered enlistment.

Chichikovobarb May 25, 2012 at 12:39 pm

And a quite unreasonable one, I might add. I ask you: what teenager hasn't gotten drunk and cut the brake lines of school buses?

radio-of-owls May 25, 2012 at 12:55 pm

Where I went to school, that was what the lamers did. The cools tweaked out on scag and poured fulminating silver into the pre-K nap room.

V572 Is this him? May 25, 2012 at 12:18 pm

Wine coolers for everyone*

Except for those that go into a missionary position in Paris.

Dashboard Buddha May 25, 2012 at 1:01 pm

Try to hang on until 2020

nounverb911 May 25, 2012 at 12:15 pm

I thought that Foxxy NC womenz said college only cost $87.

SorosBot May 25, 2012 at 12:15 pm

Women soldiers? The pill for men? What is this, girls will be boys and boys will be girls; it's a mixed up muddled up shook up world.

boobookitteh May 25, 2012 at 12:17 pm

Except for Lola.

actor212 May 25, 2012 at 12:19 pm

Hang on, now!….

L….O….L….A….Lola.

Go on?

nounverb911 May 25, 2012 at 12:24 pm

Whatever Lola wants….Lola gets….

Oops, sorry wrong song.

Dashboard Buddha May 25, 2012 at 12:59 pm

Win

C_R_Eature May 25, 2012 at 12:25 pm

I heard that the Gyno office was serving champagne that tasted just like cherry cola, C…O…L…A…Cola

actor212 May 25, 2012 at 12:27 pm

COCA COLA LIBEL!

jqheywood May 25, 2012 at 12:57 pm

But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man

gullywompr May 25, 2012 at 12:43 pm

Well, I've been around, but I ain't never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

BarackMyWorld May 25, 2012 at 1:31 pm

I love you guys today.

Goonemeritus May 25, 2012 at 12:15 pm

Sure college prices have gone up lucky for me my thriving car window cleaning concession on Canal Street is keeping pace.

Barb May 25, 2012 at 12:17 pm

Do these combat fatigues make my butt look big?
Just remember that she's armed before you answer that.

actor212 May 25, 2012 at 12:19 pm

Is that a parachute in your pants, dear?

rickmaci May 25, 2012 at 3:39 pm

No, your butt makes the fatigues look too small. And then the fight started. Bang.

V572 Is this him? May 25, 2012 at 12:19 pm

"Sure, sweetheart, we don't need a condom. You can trust me. I took the Pill!"

Really, ladies? Are you going to buy this?

Callyson May 25, 2012 at 12:25 pm

Snark off…

No, I would not want to rely completely on the guy to be responsible about taking the pill, but I can think of a good reason to develop one anyway. I think a birth control pill for men would appeal to those guys who are terrified of the thought of having to pay child support for a kid they do not want or are not ready for. You know, the kind of guys who are responsible and decent enough not to cop a hateful "your problem, babe" attitude. So, go science…

V572 Is this him? May 25, 2012 at 12:28 pm

B-but invoking stereotypes is so much easier than actually thinking before posting! (Talking to myself here)

weejee May 25, 2012 at 12:19 pm

 

MissTaken May 25, 2012 at 12:19 pm

Finally, we are one step closer to the male contraceptive pill.

Finally gay men can stop impregnating each other during the buttsex! Because that's how gay babbies are formed! I know this because that lovely lady from NC told Anderson so!

Billmatic May 25, 2012 at 12:21 pm

Bulldoggin hoes like them Georgetown Hoyas.

SexySmurf May 25, 2012 at 12:21 pm

Finally, we are one step closer to the male contraceptive pill.

It involves an aspirin and your urethra.

Fairtackle May 25, 2012 at 12:24 pm

Actually not as pleasant as it sounds.

Schmannnity May 25, 2012 at 12:23 pm

Equal opportunity to be a double or more amputee. Progress!

BornInATrailer May 25, 2012 at 12:34 pm

DARN IT. I had an "The amputee fetish community broadly supports this initiative" type joke all lined up.

V572 Is this him? May 25, 2012 at 12:25 pm

The good news about today's military is that the plastic surgeons (which they have a genuine need for to treat people disfigured by battle injuries) keep their chops skills fresh by doing boob jobs on servicemember families.

Sharkey May 25, 2012 at 12:26 pm

Finally, an end to unwanted male pregnancies!

ManchuCandidate May 25, 2012 at 12:29 pm

As cool as the idea of no-baby daddy sex is, there is still no "social disease" protection.

actor212 May 25, 2012 at 12:32 pm

You can buy a bottle of Listerine in the dental aisle

Oh. You mean STDs…

BigSkullF*ckingDog May 25, 2012 at 12:29 pm

Women can't be on the front lines for the simple reason that it is very hard for them to pee on a corpse. Priorities people!

actor212 May 25, 2012 at 12:34 pm

Straddle.

Terry May 25, 2012 at 12:43 pm

At Abu Graibe, the women found ways to be horrible, too.

C_R_Eature May 25, 2012 at 12:32 pm

A Male Birth Control Pill? I'm afraid that God would See Right Through that!

MosesInvests May 25, 2012 at 12:52 pm

So it's medical experiments for the lot of you.

Jus_Wonderin May 25, 2012 at 12:33 pm

It is best to not look directly at the NPR graphic. The correct technique is to get two index cards…punch a needle in the center of one card. Stand back to the graphic, holding the first card up and the second card behind. In this way, the graphic can be seen safely.

gullywompr May 25, 2012 at 12:33 pm

I once captured a female Marine at Camp LeJeune. She surrendered.

ph7 May 25, 2012 at 12:41 pm

And all you're left with is her name, rank and serial number.

gullywompr May 25, 2012 at 12:54 pm

And every Memorial Day, I remember the fallen.

Dashboard Buddha May 25, 2012 at 1:01 pm

Laid low?

gullywompr May 25, 2012 at 1:14 pm

Oh, she survived the squirmish, but I'm afraid that she walks with a limp now.

metamarcisf May 25, 2012 at 12:35 pm

The imminent discovery of a male morning-after pill will have even the support of conservatives.

proudgrampa May 25, 2012 at 12:36 pm

Re: College tuition.

(This is totally plagiarized):

Q. How much will college cost?

A. How much you got?

Lascauxcaveman May 25, 2012 at 12:42 pm

I'm such a sucker! i paid full 'sticker price' for my college tuition! Back then it was about $1800/year, but still.

Oblios_Cap May 25, 2012 at 12:43 pm

One employee told GSA investigators that Neely “squashed like a bug” a regional director who questioned his spending on conferences and travel.

Sounds like the next GOP "Young Gun".

BarackMyWorld May 25, 2012 at 1:33 pm

You know the sarcastic, fake-western-accented way Rachel Maddow says "Young Guns"? That's what I hear in my head now whenever I read those words.

fuflans May 25, 2012 at 12:47 pm

Sulagna:

your infographic says we need more tax breaks for american job creators.

Mumbletypeg May 25, 2012 at 12:49 pm

from MSNBC regarding women suing to be allowed into combat:

"This limitation on plaintiffs' careers restricts their current and future earnings, their potential for promotion and advancement, and their future retirement benefits"

Panetta, et. al need to get into the current century and over this bullcrap sad attitude that women can't cut it. If working moms kick ass because they have round the clock flexibl-adaptability to withstand sleep deprivation, conduct reflexive judgment-on-the-fly, maintain physically nimble and/or endurance-proven — then take these MOTIVATED women, whether parenting or childless, out of your twee menagerie of frozen perception and enhance your military's chronically challenged forces. We could actually prove "exceptional" in the world's eyes, or much of it, if we'd only act on this.

Dashboard Buddha May 25, 2012 at 1:03 pm

"conduct reflexive judgment-on-the-fly, maintain physically nimble and/or endurance-proven"

…and can pass something the size of a bowling ball through a narrow opening.

An_Outhouse May 25, 2012 at 12:54 pm

e.g. the NPR graphic.

The top row shows the eyes of a cat watching a small mammal just before it leaps on it and tears it to shreds. The left is when it was a little kitty, the right shows the larger, more mature cat eyes.

The second row is the same cat's eyes on LSD.

owhatever May 25, 2012 at 12:55 pm

All men are created equal. Don't say nothing about womminz and the gehs. Love America and he'll love on you right back.

LiberalMantra May 25, 2012 at 12:56 pm

First they were burning bras, now it's going to be neighborhoods and schools. It just ain't fair.

Supremectjester May 25, 2012 at 1:17 pm

No wonder more men are going to the Gyno–
A team from Imperial College in England found that between 15,000 and 20,000 men have been admitted to obstetric wards each year since 2003, and almost 10,000 to gynaecology wards. (http://flowingdata.com/2012/05/17/why-are-so-many-men-pregnant/)

prommie May 25, 2012 at 1:25 pm

Feather-footed through the plashy fen passes the questing vole.

Cause, I am silly.

prommie May 25, 2012 at 1:26 pm

Hey, how come the fat bigot lady's picture is on this page, too?

Ohh, wait, thats the Tyson pig ad.

RedneckMuslin May 25, 2012 at 1:32 pm

Female soldiers want to be involved in front-line combat.

Well, settles the argument about which sex is smarter. Hope they don't pay them the same.

BarackMyWorld May 25, 2012 at 1:38 pm

…we here at Wonkette are super-excited for how Rush Limbaugh is going to insult a male 30-year-old law student at Georgetown…

Hopefully it'll be something men will have to take daily, regardless of sexual activity, so he can explain how that's nothing like female contraception BECAUSE HE'S THAT FUCKING STUPID.

Eve8Apples May 25, 2012 at 2:21 pm

MEN ON THE PILLZ?1?11!! BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SPERM BABIES?

Can we stuff a probe up their schlongs and make them watch pictures of fetuses before we write the prescription?

pinkocommi May 25, 2012 at 4:50 pm

I read that last bullet point as, "Rush Limbaugh is going to bone a male 30-year-old law student at Georgetown," which makes more sense to me than anything else I have ever read about Rush Limbaugh.

ttommyunger May 26, 2012 at 11:25 pm

We called them WACS in the old Army. I knew one that loved popcorn so much she would eat it in her bunk every night. One morning she woke up with a Colonel between her legs.

actor212 May 25, 2012 at 12:33 pm

What do you think strap-ons are for?

Well, not *only* for, but we're talking about girl-on-girl action and STOP JUDGING ME!

Jus_Wonderin May 25, 2012 at 12:35 pm

But, which one gets preggers from the scissoring. This, btw, is the first time I have heard of scissoring. Sounds fun though.

C_R_Eature May 25, 2012 at 12:33 pm

The Kinks actually had to change the lyrics because of that – at least for a while.

boobookitteh May 25, 2012 at 12:37 pm

I' m not the world's most masculine man but I know what I am and I know I'm a man.

MissTaken May 25, 2012 at 12:40 pm

The band Scissor Sisters is named for the position! The fun part is both lesbians get preggers from it. It's a girlie bonding thing.

actor212 May 25, 2012 at 12:45 pm

Brings a whole new meaning to this band's name, eh?

Jus_Wonderin May 25, 2012 at 12:43 pm

Oh, I see. So they both get a baby. They don't have to stay like that through gestation.

actor212 May 25, 2012 at 12:43 pm

I have one of the original single pressings that was sent to radio stations for air play. The album still has Coca Cola, but the BBC refused to let the product placement air on their networks, so Davies had to fly from America back to London to dub in "cherry cola" for the single to be released.

actor212 May 25, 2012 at 12:44 pm

And……?????

boobookitteh May 25, 2012 at 12:49 pm

SO WAS LOLA.

C_R_Eature May 25, 2012 at 12:54 pm

So's Yoda! Yo, Yo, Yo…

Heyyy, WAIT A MINUTE!

C_R_Eature May 25, 2012 at 12:51 pm

That's really cool! I didn't know that Ray had to fly back to do that. Those BBC executives were real badasses.

actor212 May 25, 2012 at 1:04 pm

And that's how the Blue Man Group was formed.

actor212 May 25, 2012 at 1:05 pm

And remember, Pan Am (and BOAC) still flew prop planes, so it wasn't like 6 hours in each direction…

C_R_Eature May 25, 2012 at 1:13 pm

Well, at least there were drinks…

and no TSA.
