Must-Read: Echidne Speaks the Truth on Hobby Lobby (and Ur-Sluts)

Via Eschaton, I got a link to Echidne -- a statistics expert who waxes wise about many topics -- holding forth on what drives conservatives to rail against "employee subsidized consequence free sex." Read it. It's lays out the fallacies and hypocrisy quite nicely.

She reminds us -- though some of us men figured this out decades ago -- that for every slut woman having conception-free sex there is a willing man -- I'm not sure willing is a strong enough word -- at the heart of the operation. We men love us some sluts women.

I'm not saying liberals have a monopoly on uncomplicated, fun-filled sex, but I will say here's another reason to be happy not to be a conservative. The mixture of guilt, hypocrisy, self-loathing, fear, anger, confusion, resentment, and, I suppose, pleasure that must accompany the act of coupling with a conservative's favorite slut woman must make for a real moral haymaker of a sexual act.

Good luck with that, cons. We liberals just want to get laid. We could give a shit who pays for the conception-free part. (Observation: In an evolved society, everyone pays for it.)

Not that there's anything wrong with being a dad. Swedish men get
480 days paternity leave. Talk about an evolved society.
