The RPOJ comes for thee BJ!

I had a sense on this one, as I was typing my reply to the burning stupid present on this site, that my commentary might not be published.  Given that dudes, with what they deem to be important opinions, tend not to like being shown how audaciously wrong they are.  I took it upon myself to save a copy of my reply.  Much to my surprise(?) my comment did not make it past moderation, and thus, because of the supernovae grade idiocy on display, the commentary in question became a prime candidate for a RPOJ post.

This fine individual, I think we’ll call him Bobby-Joe, has some strong words for the female folk and how they need to behave to make his man-wishes come true and for society to continue to function.  BJ’s notion of bodily autonomy and women’s rights fits nicely into to Dark Ages – I’m sure he and the New Pope-pitude could hate-fap for days about the nefarious wimmenz and their evil plot(s) to destroy mankind.

This RPOJ post is a little on the low-hanging fruit side because the exceedingly insipid nature of the argumentation, but hey, even dour feminists need some R and R once and awhile.  So let us explore, together, the deep wisdom BJ expounds but cowardly won’t defend in his little corner of the Internet.

Let us begin:

“I have been looking for something to write a blog about and why not this(not naming the topic, in well, your topic sentence isn’t usually a good start BJ, unless of course you are deliberatly being obtuse to increase the tension, not that you have much choice…). It seems to be in my newsfeed a lot lately. And is definitely something (oooh! this may actually be purposeful) that cannot be ignored. You would not ignore a serial killer would you(Drama!! No, says the careful reader, we certainly would not!)?”

I believe women have the RIGHT to end their pregnancies (Wow! A firm statement of support for women and their autonomy, hurrah!), I also believe they have the RIGHT to be arrested and tried as a murderer for doing so (Oh, so close! Throwing your hat in with the crackling anal-fissures known as the forced birth movement just destroyed your credibility!). Just as anyone has the right to do whatever they want in this country (It would be nice if you would exercise the right not to act like a privileged, ignorant, misogynist bastion of douche-a-tude.) but they also have to face the consequences (and yours will be the upcoming excoriation of all the stupid shite you’ve written and posted on the internet.) for their decisions in this country.

I find the entire abortion thing hilarious (because the discussion surrounding the rights of women are of a particularly jocular nature…but full marks for setting up and then slam dunking the incredulity fallacy.) For a country trying to turn to “science” for answers, it is completely ignored when it comes to unborn babies (Let it be noted here that BJ does not have even the faintest idea was Science is, how to use it, or what it actually says on the topic of abortion). Science (One might, if not dramatically ignorant, delimit “Science” down to “Biology”) proves they are living things, unique, individuals (err…actually no, we haven’t been able to nail down when individuation happens) before the time that is deemed acceptable to end their lives in the womb.  But for a society saying (BJ, speaks not only for science, but society as well – he is well and truly and expert of many, if not all fields.) to turn to science and not religion, we sure are avoiding science (BJ’s interpretation of what science “says” can be interpreted as “what my inept seedy little mind shits out”) as much as possible when it comes to this. Why? Because it supports what “religious freaks” have been saying.

At this time, I’d like to state that BJ neither cites, quotes nor accurately depicts anything resembling science, biology or, to be painfully honest, fact.   Most of what follows is just the sketchy byproduct of the 3 or so neurons knocking around in his braincase.  The RPOJ demands accuracy and completion, so gentle reader, we must continue fastidiously forewarned with this fabulous foray into fail.

This would be the same for everything if they could somehow get it to fit (so many pronouns, what do they refer too?), but with this, they cannot. Therefore, they have to ignore the science (‘Science’ being what I’ve recently pulled out of my ass and declared to be “fact“). If they looked at the science, abortion would be made illegal (“Science”, Binkey,…errr…BJ… says nothing about the moral/legal/ethical nature of abortion.  Science deals with empirical knowledge, and that is it.  It would be nice if you stopped pretending to be the spokesperson of “Science” or anything important for that matter.) and those undergoing the procedure or those doing it, would be arrested and put into prison for murder (because I understand what women have to go through during pregnancy and I ‘get’ the choices that women have to face when family planning, like totally.  I’m not just some wanker with a fatuous opinion…) Murder is not acceptable in any case, only sometimes it is deemed as self-defense (contradicting yourself in the same sentence – I’m gobstruck by the amount of noise your intricate neural net must produce, maybe we can distill and bottle it as intellect depressant) but this cannot be claimed as such.

There is no reasonable cause to kill an unborn baby (ectopic pregnancies and host of other medical necessities be damned! Not to mention that whole treating women as people thing.). People can throw whatever emotional traps (that strange sound eminating from women demanding the right to their bodily autonomy.  BJ, ensconced deep within your fortress of ineptitude, it might be valuable to consider that radical notion that women are people too.) forward to make you cry before giving in, but it does not change the facts (Fun Fact: everytime BJ says something is a fact, it provably isn’t!  It is like some perverse episode of Jeopardy.). If I said this five-year-old child is going to make these parents broke in ten years as a hungry, rebellious teenager, does that give them the right to get rid of the child (If I said that your ass was actually your hat, would you be an ass-hat? – Of course you would, making irrelevant analogies firmly plants you in the realm of asshatery!)? I hope most people would say no, and be in outrage at the thought it. This is my thought (and what a mighty singular thought it was) when people say, oh, the parents cannot afford to have a baby, they will go broke, and they will be homeless.

[Skipping a paragraph because I’m running out of synonyms for “stupid”]

By logic I hear from pro-murder people (It is nice that you admit that logic is on the side of women, but then you just say inane things.  In my original response I said that you mischaracterized the pro-choice position, but now in sombre second thought we can safely deduce you’re just confabulating a nice straw argument to bash the crap out of later.), is that the simplest solution to this is to stop of sex (Like the ides of March….beware of the “stop of sex”!!/!). If you want to end the problem before it becomes one with abortion, why not go one-step back and stop the process from happening in the first place (because sex only for procreation is such a realistic solution?  *headdesk* )? If you are not on the page of being ready to have a child, do not initiate the process.
