Stupid people and birth control

That idiot Heidi Montag is talking again, that's one bitch you can't even accuse of being young-dumb because she won't get any smarter than she is right now and right now she's so dumb she should kill herself. Let me paste in a sample..
*
Heidi Dumbfuck quote: "I was just saying about birth control, because I got very scared about it the other day and I felt like God was telling me that this was something just created by the government that is really bad for my body and I was just getting sick, and I researched it, and one of the founding people who invented birth control said it was the worst thing they had ever done, they wished they'd never created it, how it morally corrupted society, it's just sickening to him. How it devalues women, how it causes depression, how it can cause cancer, how it sterilizes your body, and what it does to your body, how most women are suicidal sometimes on it, and in fact, in order to even stabilize the population right now, each woman would have to have three children, that the population is decreasing so much that population control is just a myth.
*
Forget the goofy conspiracy theory, does anyone else on here remember when there was no birth control?? I do. I grew up in that weird time in history when the evolution of all things pertaining to women were taboo. That's right, half the population didn't count. Oh, they had the vote, but, no one I knew used it. They raised the kids, but, none of them knew how. Every product aimed at women was supposed to make you more beautiful to men. And female problems of a biological nature were certainly not attractive to men and therefore not talked about in the mainstream. Can I imagine a Kotex, or god forbid, a tampax, commercial in 1960? Are you fucking kidding? No. The men who controlled the media would have literally shit their pants if vaginal blood was hinted at on their televisions. They'd just become liberated enough to stick those ads in the backs of women's magazines with a picture of a smiling freckled blond on the beach who had a secret. She could swim every day of the month! Wowzah. All things female were hidden.
*
It got a little better in the 70's, which is when I came of age (18) but, things weren't open yet, they were progressing, but, not openly discussed. By "things" I mean women's issues. Gloria Steinem and others led a women's movement. A bunch of us in Iowa got drunk and burned our bras outside the Legion hall. The men eventually forgave us. All that stuff really meant to me was that birth control became available. Up until then it was hit or miss, pure luck. Sure, men had condoms. We called them rubbers and talk about things like rubbers made the older women sweat and run to church dragging sinner teenagers with them. Rubbers were something truckers had. They had secret rubber machines in the bathrooms of truck stops. There sure as hell weren't any rubber machines where I lived. So unless you slept with a trucker, you were pretty much screwed. No pun intended. Just about every girl I knew either got married at 16 to avoid giving birth out of wedlock, or like me, they had a kid to raise on their own. That's just the way it was. We didn't think we were a sorry lot. And we didn't spend much time crying over lost childhoods.
*
When the birth control pill finally became available, it was the finest day in hick town history. That would have been in the early 70's. But, you know what? WE still couldn't get it. Nope. By we, I mean unmarried girls like me who already had a child to support alone. Oh, no, the sanctimonious elders of the town and churches wouldn't allow it. It was promoting sin. We devised plans where our married girl friends would get the pills for us. Or we went out of town and made up elaborate stories and fake married names. It was fucking horrible and awesome at the same time. To have that little round disc of pills in your hand was such a relief. Imagine planning your own future! Something women take for granted today. You can not imagine how liberated that felt. We were people! We mattered and we had choices! OMFG!
*
Now idiots like Heidi who never lived through that time have to talk out their ass. We knew the health risks, they were right on the package. Doesn't that dumb bitch realize women would rather face blood clots, cancer, sterilization and everything else than have no choices?? Doesn't she realize how many women died, bleeding to death from shoving coat hangers up inside themselves JUST because they wanted a choice? I think living in poverty and abuse with no money and a pack of kids to support is a wee bit more "demoralizing" and "depressing" than birth control. Suicide was the only way out. You women out there who are too young to remember this time, well, I hope you read about it and keep making a difference. Don't ever let that time happen again. Make women important, fight for what you deserve. And if you see Heidi Montag..kick her in the face. The world is definitely over populated with her in it.

I'm here too now. I'll follow you wherever you go! lol....I've been out of town for a while--we came back home to Detroit to visit family and I haven't been on but when I get home I have a picture to send you. Wish I had some time to get caught up on LQG. Hope all is well!

I lived in a house where the word sex was taboo. But I was lucky. I had a library card and a bus pass. I went to the library and took out the book "Our bodies, Ourselves. That book taught me everything I needed to know at the time.
I even bought a copy for my girls. They know I am pro choice and that birth control is a must when you are young. I made sure to not make them too embarrassed so that if they ever had to ask me a question or tell me something..they could.

Speaking as a Heidi myself, we are not all as dim witted as this numbnut.

Dirty Disher said...

Thank you soooo much for moving here. OMG, I had this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach, like I'd lose all my net friends! I'm so happy you're here.

Dirty Disher said...

Heidi, I know what you mean. I talked to my daughter about birth control too. I always made sure she knew she could come to me. Sex was dirty when I grew up. Kids who thought about sex were dirty sinners. Jesus. I can't even wrap my head around how fucked up it was...and if you actually had sex, you almost always got pregnant and that was your punishment for your "mistake." It still upsets me to talk about it.

I love what you had to say in this post! Montag is a sheep. Doesn't she realize bible thumpers are misogynists?

Dirty Disher said...

I have a lot to say about that time in history. It was an awesome time to grow up. Women, OMG, women were being heard for the first time. Girls today can not imagine what it was like. The hippie movement was nothing more than young people who refused to listen to the bible thumping anymore and we were willing to fight. It was an amazing time for women and blacks and politics and music and on and on. The forces grew large and change was forced. Sigh. It's to bad young people can't see past the headbands and fringed jackets.

Montag is just another idiot celeb who does not know anything, yet throws their opinions out there that may hurt many young women.

She is up with with political assholes, Penn, Hasselbeck. Environmental hypocrites who scream Earth issues yet fly in their private plane and sleep in their many lighted mansions, Dicaprio, Diaz, etc.And many others who need to shut their traps.

Celebrities are just people who have no education or class and their only skills are memorizing written lines that someone else tells them how to say.

Pat said...

You're last line said it all. I get so mad at them too. They do real damage.

Ok, I just posed this at the other site before reading yo were moving back. Luckily this place is still on my google bar;

Fan fucking fantastic. I'm 34 & was probably around one of the first really sexually liberated generations, I never knew there wasn't a pill or a coil or a condom given free at the local health clinic, they were alway avaiable. But I thank god for those women who didn't have choices, like my nan who had 9 kids by the time she was 38, who finally said, fuck this shit, we need a break. I have a coil now (after having my son 2 years ago) & my husband complains about not having more kids, my answer; "get a fucking girlfriend, as long as she dont expect money or support you can have as many as you want with her but stick a fork in me, I'm done. :D

Nina said...

After she gets done driveling about birth control is she going to try and convince folks the world is really flat and the Gov. only started rumors about roundness, too?

Maybe she needs to do some research on how folks took care of unwanted pregs. back in the day. Coat hangers caused more than depression...It always annoys me when morons preach...

I'm 51 and I remember my mom taking my twin sis and I to the Doc. on our 16th B-day. Mom is the quintesential modern woman. We got our birth control and then she took us to lunch to celebrate choices.

I did the same thing with my daughter. My sis did the same with hers. It's always the kids choice as to the when and where of sexuality, so they may as well be prepared.

This is the rest of that quote:

"You would have to kill me before I get a chip, that would never happen. The fact that people are even already OK with this is sickening, I could throw up right now. A chip? are we dogs? Not even dogs deserve chips. It says in the bible that it's the mark of the beast and that is a sign of worshipping the devil - so over my dead body would I ever get a chip in my body. My body belongs to Jesus Christ, to God alone, and no one will ever put anything in me, I will not worship the devil, I will not be conformed to this world, that will not happen."

Genious!!! Not! Dumb twat!

she has no fucking clue how truly liberating birth control was for women...she needs an edumacation...

DD, I was also of age in 70's. 1974 I got my 1st pap test and pill pack. Those suckers cost me over $20 each month. My daughter pays over $20 each month at PPH and it's not even the brand she originally used. So, at least the price has not gone up. $20 a month is a hella better way to spend money than trying to buy diapers, wipes, baby formula, baby food, pay for a babysitter. be stuck at home 'cuz there is no sitter. No way, as soon as my daughter was 18,out of high school and on her way to college she got the pill. I paid for them. I told her I didnt wanna be a grandma anytime soon, no surprises. We talk openly. She knows I will not judge her or scorn for having a relationship with her bf's. Thats the problem with our generation, we were told sex was horrible, eveil, bad, and only bad girls did that. Then ok...one day you get married and suddenly it's not evil or bad anymore? Explain that BS to me again. I am 51 yrs old and I know that was stupid then as it is now. Heidi is such a hypocrite, she has been sleeping with Spencer this entire time, then she preaches her BS Jesus shit. Who made her exempt from her own rules? Oh yea, she did! She's probably pregnant and wants to make it look like it's Jesus that did it and she's not evil for having premarital sex. Who gives a shit? When is she gonna realize we dont' care one iota! See? I said "iota"...thats old timey! DD, right? LOL!!

Unknown said...

Is this chick for real? Why is she relevant again?

Pat said...

There were babysitters back then????? Holy crap. I never knew that. Seriously, if you had a baby back then, you stayed home and took care of that baby by yourself 24/7. I'd read about rich people who had nannies..I thought they were all English.

My mom was raised by a black mammy, in Georgia. Just like in GWTW. Her name was Idela, just like in Driving Miss Daisy. This was in the 30's 40's. Cooks, housekeepers and mammies. It was the norm. "Ladies" didn't have to do that much. Out for a day with hats & gloves and always red lipstick. Beautiful gossomer dresses and gentle southern breezes. That was the life!!!

Jen said...

Love it! I teach 8th grade and had a parent complaint last year when we discussed the best inventions of the 20th century. You guessed it, I said female birth control!

WTF was that parent thinking; we live in a huge city and her kid did not grow up in a cave. Thank goodness the principal was supportive....

Dirty Disher said...

6:36:00 PM, my daddy was German but raised in the south. He had a heavy accent, but, anyway, they had black servants and one of the ways my moms family insults him is to imply his mama had a go at some black man and he might have some black blood. And of course, me too. You've seen my little albino kid photos, but, it would have been funny if I'd popped out with an afro and black features. Pffft, it's bad enough as it is, being the only blond in the family.

Dirty Disher said...

Jen, I can imagine. People are so ignorant. I used to teach in a town dictated by the bible. It was a public school, but, they didn't care because they were always right and fuck the law.

As the mother of two daughters, I cant even imagine not informing them of every choice they have now....sb

Wonderful post, Pat.

I'm gonna talk to my daughter when we eventually do "the talk" about all areas of birth control. Birth control is a wonderful gift that gave women a little of the sexual freedom that man has always had. Birth Control from a womans pov says "I like you,I think your cute,I'd love to fuck you,but in no way do I want you to be the father of my kids."

12:39 Anonymous is my comment. I hit the wrong thing.

10doll said...

These days telling your kids about sex,isn't focused mainly about how not to get pregnant like long time ago. This is now a "how not to catch a disease & die" talk. It can make the difference in who lives & who doesn't. It's a life or death talk.

Bill said...

Glad your back DD! Our daughters have been informed and sex talk has always been honest as they want.

This post makes me love you even more. I have such a problem with young woman who fail to research where their mothers and grand mothers came from. Everything is taken for granted.

Dirty Disher said...

I never regreted having or keeping my son, but, if I could have waited until I was older and still had the same exact kid..there's no doubt I would have. Teenagers shouldn't raise babies and young people DO have the right to have sex. It was crazy back then.
