A haunting documentary entitled The Mechanical Bride.
The fantasy of creating the perfect woman is as old as Pygmalion, but how close is it to becoming a reality?
This provocative documentary reveals the state of the art in artificial companions - from life-sized silicone sex dolls to humanoid robots - and offers a surprisingly human, at times humorous, look at the men who build, animate, and love them.
25 Republican-Approved Ways to Say ‘Vagina’ Without Offending Political Pussies
Yesterday, two female state representatives in Michigan were banned indefinitely from speaking on the floor of the State House because they refused to fall in line during a debate about abortion. The Republican who banned Reps. Lisa Brown and Barb Byrum said some nonsense about “decorum,” and another GOP-er took offense at her use of “no means no.” But this excuse doesn’t make a lot of sense, and so the women have been left to speculate about the real reason they were given the boot. Byrum spoke out of turn, but Brown’s most egregious crime seems to be using the word “vagina” in the presence of delicate Republican man-ears. So what’s a female legislator trying to defend her vagina against government intrusion to do?
Infantile slang! Here are 50 ways that Michigan women can use to refer to their “special husband zone” around men who find medically accurate words for women’s anatomy offensive, and suggested ways to use them in a sentence.
1. Love cave
Honey, can you go buy me some tampons at the store? My love cave is bleeding.
2. Baby chute
When I get home from work, I want you to put your mouth on my baby chute.
3. Forbidden area
It may seem unfair that Adam makes more money than Molly simply because Molly has a forbidden area, but that’s the way of the world.
4. Basement
The President inserted a cigar into Ms Lewinsky’s basement, then put the cigar in his mouth and said: “It tastes good”
5. Kid factory
Did you hear that Virginia passed a law requiring trans-kid factory ultrasounds for women seeking abortion?
6. Sin gash
My roommate’s not going out tonight because she has a yeast infection in her sin gash.
7. [uncomfortable silence]
Mr. Speaker, I’m uncomfortable with the government’s sudden interest in my [uncomfortable silence].
8. Man trap
Car insurance costs less because having a man trap makes you less reckless.
9. Hermetically sealed shame basket
Luckily, her gynecologist made sure to be gentle when prodding her hermetically sealed shame basket.
10. Spousehole
If I wanted the government in my spousehole, I’d fuck a Senator.
11. Schmegina
I can’t help it if I have a heavy flow and a wide-set schmegina.
12. Mystery machine
Don’t use flavored lube to make your mystery machine taste better.
13. Rape invitation
After sleeping with a man who claimed to be Joe Francis, Laura began experiencing discomfort in her rape invitation.
14. Wide receiver
Inez isn’t a slut; but her wide receiver is rarely unoccupied.
15. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
Why is it that men think that women really love it when they jackhammer the shit out of their Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?
16. Untapped resource
If you want to be tough, grow an untapped resource. Those things can take a pounding.
17. Inferiority complex
After a particularly difficult delivery, a woman’s inferiority complex may need a few stitches.
18. Spaghetti junction
After a romantic weekend at a bed and breakfast, Helen’s spaghetti junction needed a break.
19. Despair
The cool thing about this new vibrator is that it stimulates all of the most sensitive parts of your despair.
20. God’s stab wound
He told me I had the prettiest God’s stab wound he’d ever seen.
21. Penis house
I want to try using a Diva Cup, but I fear that my penis house is oddly shaped.
22. The not-so-fresh place
Moving from phonetics to etymology, ‘the not-so-fresh place’ originates from a word meaning sheath for a sword.
23. Pelvic interior
As compensation for their labors, men are given periodic use of a woman’s pelvic interior.
24. Kant
So few men understand how to navigate Kant.
25. Vulva
So there you have it! Nice, sanitized words for ladyparts that won’t scare Republicans. But a word of advice, for future reference: if you can’t bring yourself to say the name of the thing you’re trying to legislate, you should probably just let that shit go. It was never yours to begin with.

This is the new music video by Katy Perry entitled Part of Me. First off, I would like to say….wtf?
Not only is this video quite ANTI-feminist and regressive to equality for women but it also glorifies war.
I am completely and utterly in shock that a woman so powerful i the music industry has produced yet another music video degrading women. So heterosexual women, after discovering their boyfriends cheat, retaliate by joining the marines not by their own desire or want to be in the military. This movie shows that the male influence in women’s lives is what evokes women’s power. So women do not truly have their own means of acquiring power , it is the man who catalyzes and is responsible for that gain.
“All women are created equal, then some become marines” ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Everyone is equal but because you’ve created this stupid ass music video there will now be a further divide not merely between men and women but between women and women in the service. Then Katy Perry finds it necessary to cut off all her hair and bind her breasts before joining the marines. As if riding herself of her “woman” and “femininity” hair and breasts do not make you a woman. You make you a woman! If you identify as a woman, then you are a woman.
Oh, and then we must watch Katy Perry as she dances around in a uniform underneathe the American flag and parade around a “desert” setting with guns and tanks. I am sorry but when did this war or any war for that fact become so glorious? It didn’t and it isn’t.
This is not merely a Marines advertisement but government propaganda encouraging youth to solve problems with violence and force. In now way is this empowering women. It is degrading us. I am offended by this music video and the message it portrays to women and men in this country. The song is a good song, but the video bites at my very soul.
Disappointing, insulting, and infuriating
How can any woman, or any human for fact, not find Google’s design for International Women’s Day offending and completely sexist? Pastels and flowers….
No Google, I do not appreciate your design for International Women’s Day. As much as I love flowers and pastels I find your design offensive, degrading, regressive, and enforcing once again the gender roles with you think women must adhere to. Boycott Google. I am a BING woman now.
my feelings as my boyfriend drunk texts me tonight about the girl he is hanging out with and how she “is absolutely amazing and im in love with her more than anyone”
5 minutes later ” except you of course”
message to my boyfriend. soon to be ex, you should learn to choose your words wisely. and your women even more carefully. don’t cross me or play me for a fool. I am one badass feminist who won’t take shit like that. pissed off HOWEVER my daddy complex allows me move on quickly
