It’s a day ending in “Y,” so Amanda Marcotte has said something stupid.  Again.  We’ve been through this before with her here on Victory Girls.

This time, she’s defending these bizarre Obamacare ads out of Colorado.  Specifically, this one.

Because conservatives dared to point out that 1) this ad is stupid beyond belief, 2) demeaning to women, and 3) something that taxpayers should not be subsidizing, Amanda just KNOWS that because the ad is talking about SEX, and since conservatives are such prudes, we naturally hate the ad and women and sexual freedoms and birth control and feminism.  I wonder if I missed anything that we’re supposed to be hating.

I can prove with one simple test that Amanda Marcotte is an idiot and missed the point of the conservative critique completely.

Switch the genders.

Let us imagine that it’s the GUY saying, “OMG, she’s hot!  I hope she’s as easy to get as birth control!  Her health insurance covers the pill, which means all I have to do is worry about is getting her between the covers.  She’s got insurance!”

I wonder if Amanda would be thinking the ad was so “cute” if the guy was calling the girl “easy” and looking for consequence-free sex.

Hmmm.  My Spidey-sense says… no.

But… but… conservatives hate sex!!!

No, we don’t.  We just don’t want to hear about your sex life or pay for it.  And I know that if men were running around, bragging about finding “easy” girls because they wouldn’t have to pay for it or worry about a pregnancy, Amanda Marcotte would be standing on her laptop, screaming about men who exploit women for their own personal sexual satisfaction.

But because the girl said it, that’s female empowerment, and according to Amanda, that’s just great.

Because when all you think with is your vagina, everything is about sex.  Right, Amanda?
