Scarlett Johansson Wants George Bush to Teach Her More About Sex
Posted by: Mary Katharine Ham at 6:19 PM

Apparently, Scarlett Johannson is a feminist.

This is pretty much all it takes according to the modern definition:

"We are supposed to be liberated in America but if our President had his way, we wouldn't be educated about sex at all. Every woman would have six children and we wouldn't be able to have abortions."

Uhh, no, Scarlett. Six children or abortion? You do realize there's a third option, right? Who was your sex-ed teacher, girl? Laura Bush???

See, Scarlett, the thing is that's not what would happen at all. Note that the Bushes themselves managed, somehow, someway, to only have two children, despite being conservative and, hence, completely ignorant of safe-sex practices and contraceptives. Amazing!

How long will it be before this inane quote ends up in a NOW press release as the ultimate in brilliant, feminist theory? They're actually teaching "Limbo 101" to Women's Studies majors now, the bar has fallen so low.

She also claims to be so "socially aware" that she gets tested for HIV twice a year. I applaud her for her frequent testing, but "socially aware?" Is that what they're calling it these days?

Also, check out the stellar political reporting, here:

A staunch Christian, Bush is vehemently anti-abortion and is seeking to have the operation made illegal in all US states.

How did we all miss the Grand-Super Abortion Criminalizing Executive Order of 2006, which attempted to bypass both the courts and Congress in its blatant abuse of executive power?

And, hush. Y'all know you love that headline.

The subject is the post! duh...
No way Ms. Ham. It is the job of schools to teach children how to have sex, not the parents. Further, it should be illegal for parents to offer alternatives.

ps. I've just become a liberal. How'm I doin'?
Lyrax writes: Monday, November, 20, 2006 7:58 PM
Socially aware... ?!?
What's 'socially aware' supposed to mean? That she is aware of the fact that there's a society out here? Great. She gets a gold star. People should do more than just be "aware," though.

BTW, blogagog, you're doing great as socialists go. Heck, all you need to do is provide a way for children to tell the government that their parents are trying to "indoctrinate" them, and you'll be outright communist!

In any event, I think the socially RESPONSIBLE thing to do would be to position one's self into a lifestyle in which semi-annual HIV testing isn't necessary. Some people call this monogamy. I just call it fidelity.
Dottie writes: Monday, November, 20, 2006 7:58 PM
It never ceases to amaze me.....
nearly every time a Hollywood liberal opens his or her mouth, something totally ignorant comes out of it! Is there some kind of a rule that you have to have your brain sucked out to be an actor? I know, I know, there are some intelligent ones, but let's be honest, they are few and far between.
Bobblehead writes: Monday, November, 20, 2006 8:18 PM
Social awareness
I was downtown the other night and I think I saw other "socially aware" women. The weren't very weather aware however. Their clothing was just way to scant for the temperatures. They seemed to be very popular though, cars kept stopping and offering them rides.
Grumpy writes: Monday, November, 20, 2006 8:32 PM
Play fair, Mary
Play fair, Mary: it enhances your credibility.

Yes, the Johannson quote sounds like typically stupid Hollywood grandstanding but let's not forget George's "abstinance only" education policy in Texas. Does everyone remember how well THAT worked out or do I need to go look up the stats?

Socially Aware an anology for slutty?
Anyone who needs an HIV test twice a year is either a heroin addict or "jumping from bed to bed with the frequency of an old ham radio," to quote Dan Ackroyd in an old SNL "Point/Counterpoint" sketch.

Another self important Hollywood "star" is publicly exposing her limited intelligence. I wonder if she is secretly related to Babs Streisand?

Mary Katherine's Got More Class
...in her left pinky than Scarletttttt has in her left, um, whole body.

When I was a kid in the 70s, kids worried about getting cooties; now they get HIV tested TWICE a year. Actually, we had given up on cooties by then. But how do you reconcile this with global orgasms for peace on Dec 22nd?
dailydose of radio writes: Monday, November, 20, 2006 10:50 PM
How about that?

What's even more interesting is that the media takes Miss Scarlett's comments seriously.
I am sure the media has the ability to pick and choose whom it wants to showcase?

Really? who goes around telling the world that they get HIV tested twice a year?
Although this might be socially responsible if you were say an:
IV drug addict, hooker, or slept around alot.......
I am shocked that she thinks this makes her socially responsible.
It would be better perhaps if she thought before she talked.

I am sure her mother is shocked as well.
RedWhite&Blue writes: Monday, November, 20, 2006 11:58 PM
Personally...
...I'd like Scarlett Johannson to teach ME more about sex, heh-heh! Just kidding.

If I recall, Bush's personal views on abortion make exceptions for health of the mother and rape. Whatever his personal views, he's been very outspoken about them when going before "values voters" but has been very passive about implimenting them. He's the last person abortion supporters should worry about.

So how much does this girl get around if she has to get tested twice a year?
Rich Wright writes: Tuesday, November, 21, 2006 1:35 AM
Why?
Subject(s) at hand aside; how long before we stop caring about what Scarlett Johansson and other Hollywood figures say. Although I agree with point of the article, I dont think such a quote is worth blogging.

Deception

>>"A staunch Christian, Bush is vehemently anti-abortion and is seeking to have the operation made illegal in all US states."

Isn't that common knowledge?

>>"How did we all miss the Grand-Super Abortion Criminalizing Executive Order of 2006, which attempted to bypass both the courts and Congress in its blatant abuse of executive power?"

Funny ... but dishonest.

As everyone here knows well, that (was) indeed the goal of Bush's Supreme Court appointments ... "activist judges" to overturn Roe V Wade, against the majority of Americans who oppose such a ruling.

So the "bimbo" is right on the money ... and it's the columnist who's thinking like a blonde joke.

Heh
>Well, how much more cautious can anybody get? >Unbelievable.... What an idiot.

Uh, people who make pornographic films get tested once a month. But the more interesting point to make is...how dumb do you have to be to think that getting diagnosed with an uncurable fatal disease is just as safe as not getting the disease in the first place?


>As everyone here knows well, that (was) indeed the
>goal of Bush's Supreme Court appointments ... >"activist judges" to overturn Roe V Wade, against
>the majority of Americans who oppose such a ruling.

Wow, that's so ignorant, where to begin? How about by pointing out that there is no "right to abortion" anywhere in the Constitution, and the original ruling blatantly ignored that "medical issues" were not enumerated federal powers and should be left to individual states to regulate as they see fit, and therefor the original ruling from pro-abortion judges did not follow the law of the land?

I know that's a lot of big words you can't understand...

Scarlett Johansson
Grumpy, you ask Mary to play fair because you assert that "George's 'abstinance (sic) only' education policy in Texas" didn't work. Go look up the statistics. While you are at it, look up the statistics of Uganda's abstinence only education. Uganda is the only African nation that has instituted an abstinence before marriage and fidelity in marriage education program and it is the only African nation that has experienced severe declines in HIV infection rates. So yea, go look up the statistics.

Every time an actor..
... bashes Bush, they get another movie role. If you're hard up in Hollywood, bash Bush. Even if you're not hard up in Hollywood, bash Bush. Oliver Stone or Spielberg or Geffen is bound to put you in something.

I'm waiting for David Hasselhoff to declare "its a quagmire" and the president is a "moron". He could use the work, apparently.

Scarlett Johansson: The Wrong Questions
When Johansson states that she gets tested for HIV twice a year, an interviewer should respond by asking this progression of questions. 1) Why do you get tested twice a year? An obvious question, requiring her to expose her hedonistic lifestyle or that she sleeps with a small number of men, who have hedonistic lifestyles. Either way, it is dangerous. 2) What if you are tested positive? Do you stop having sex? Probably not, since abstinence is not an option for her. 3) If tested positive, do you inform your partners that you have HIV? 4) If her answer is no, then, “Why?” 5) If her answer is yes, then do you know that condoms are not adequate to protect against HIV?
PHenry writes: Tuesday, November, 21, 2006 11:12 AM
Dear Ms. Scarlett (letter) Johansson
So, you're 'socially aware' enough to get that HIV test twice a year (thats about every 20 partners, right?) but not 'educated' enough to go see a gyno and get the pill. And use a condom.
Sorry, honey, but if you would spend a little more time vertical you might have learned a little about responsibility and dignity by now. I don't think you can blame George Bush for that,at your age your education should have come long before this. And maybe, heaven forbid, from your parents?
Well, since they didn't say it, and George Bush didn't stop by your place and explain it, I will make it clear for you:
Stand up, pull up your pants, and read a book. It sounds to me like you already know plenty about 'sex', time to maybe expand that horizon?

How did it become 'feminist creds' to be a public sex toy for horndog men? Isn't that what my mothers generation was fighting against? Objectification, thats what they called it then. (The polite ones.)
To hear them tell it now they were fighting for the right to rampant promiscuity with complete freedom from responsibility. Including the inalienable God given right to exterminate as many babies as is convienient.
Congratulations on the liberation, ladies. Hows that working out for you?

Hollywood morality is a major cause of why abortion exists as such a divisive issue anyway.

Ignorance is bliss
I always thought the democrats claimed that abortion was the choice of last resort, only made after much soul searching (and apparently not finding one) not a common birth control method. But then they do lie quite a bit.

Isn't it amazing that because you make a few movies and look nice in Armani makes you socially astute and a fount of wisdom?!?!?!?!?

Please give me a break! Anyone who listens to actors, actresses or musicians for social wisdom need to get their heads examined. Ms. Johansson is a very foolish young woman who is on the road to distruction with that kind of behavior. What a shame....so much talent wasted on a debauched airhead.
RealitySage writes: Tuesday, November, 21, 2006 5:29 PM
The Girl Can't Help It
Having looks that every straight male lust for, it's easy to see how she can think her opinion matters. We've heard pontificating from Hollywood actors before--maybe their fragile ego's require they feel they need to be taken seriously. I learned about sex the old fashioned way--by playing with myself in the crib. I don't think I'm alone there. I didn't need the President, my school, or even my frineds when my parents explained the consequences of the bird and the bees pretty well. Pretty soon someone will complain the President isn't explaining on the whether the toliet paper should go over or under in the bathroom properly.
Green Faerie writes: Tuesday, November, 21, 2006 5:59 PM
Hollyweird feminism
I'm sure she, like fellow Hollyweird "feminist" Cameron Diaz, thinks the Bush administration wishes to make rape legal.

(BTW, I always laugh at actresses who call themselves "feminists" but build a career on playing hookers, strippers, and other women who absolutely must take their clothes off in a role.)

ScarJo must live in fear that her social awareness on the casting couch will one day result in six children and a bod that will no longer be cast in A-list productions.
William writes: Tuesday, November, 21, 2006 6:49 PM
Johansson sex education
Why doesn't Scarlette just dedicate her life to sex education?

That way everyone will have free sex, get an HIV/AIDs screening at least per year, and be able to have abortions a few times per year as well.

Everyone will be happy, no one will ever suffer again, no one will ever contract a disease or become ill or injured, all will be prosperous, and we will all be living in Heaven on Earth.

Thank you, Scarlett.


By the way, Scarlett, what would be so wrong with a woman having six children, or women not being complicit in having their offspring dismembered while baby is inside her womb?

Also, what would be wrong with having sex with someone who you have committed your love and loyalty to, and they to you? That means, why don't you respect yourself and others enough to actually marry the person you will be sexually intimate with before engaging in it?

Have you ever tried it? It is emotionally fulfilling. It feels GREAT!!!

In a country this free,..
...how can ANYONE,especially someone this rich and free to go wherever to get "operation" whatever,live in fear that a President could possibly be even half as powerful as the courts? They control everything from mass murderer interogations and the bestowing of rights to them,to whether you own your land or a large developer will. Ms. Yohansen is in the elitist class that steps on the rest of us so if WE don't feel compelled to protest,what is her problem? Her side's in charge,there's a president who caves to ANYTHING and the msm and virtually all levels of education guarantee that her "rights" will continue in perpetuity.
Oh for problems! Ay?

You began
>>"Wow, that's so ignorant, where to begin?"

Uhhhh, you WILL regret typing that .... (chuckle)


>>"How about by pointing out that there is no "right to abortion" anywhere in the Constitution,"

Try reading the 9th and 10th amendments.

Like every other liberal, you believe the constitution grants or defines rights -- You are dead wrong.

Equal rights are endowed in all men, by our creator.

What the constitution does is define and grant LIMITED power to the government ... NOT rights to anybody.

Conservatives used to know this -- until they decided to play the same "activist judges" game.


>>"and the original ruling blatantly ignored that "medical issues" were not enumerated federal powers and should be left to individual states to regulate as they see fit,"

Like any other liberal, you trivialize the life or death of a fetus as a "medical issue."

It's not JUST a "medical" issue, wise one. It's a life and death issue.

Correcting another of your errors: Roe v Wade ASSURED to individual states the powers to (a) ban all abortions during the third trimester, and (b) regulate all abortions in ther second trimester.

Unlike yourself, I would have preferred an ouright ban on all third trimester abortions, nationwide -- based on viability of the fetus.

And .... not to forget ther obvious:

1) What have YOU done to get third-trimester abortions banned in your state?

2) How many states have banned third-trimester abortions.

I assume you agree with me that (some) Christian Conservatives are hypocritical when they try to ban late-term abortions at the federal level, instead of banning ALL third-trimester abortions at the state level. Duh.

(Actually, they're being exploited by congressional Republicans -- much like Blacks are exploited by Democrats.)
