It's all male sex, all the time
I was in a class that was getting a tour of our college library. The librarian was showing us all the sections, which included the Women's Studies section. Some asshat in the back of the group harrumphed, "So where is the MEN'S studies section?" I knew this asshat from other classes, so I held my arms out to the whole building of stacks and said "The whole REST of it is men's studies!" (asshat)
This pertains thusly to the matter up for discussion: everything is male sex. Let's find a way in for women! So there's a series of wink-wink nudge-nudge PSAs that try to get women to vote. So what? Have some fun! Butterfly ballots! Hanging chads! Sex Sex Sex!
I'm a feminist. And this article is one of the reasons feminists get accused of sucking the fun out of everything.
We still use butterfly ballots where I live. And an Nov 7, I'm going to deflower me some punchcards!
