These women are very, very, very stupid...

Damn you, basketball. I usually run home for lunch and watch Price is Right while I eat, but today there's basketball on, so I had to watch something else. The View seemed the least offensive of my choices.



I turned it on mid-show, so I'm not sure how they got on this topic.

Woman 1: A woman doesn't have to orgasm to become pregnant.
Woman 2&3, surprised tone: She doesn't?
Woman 4: No, only the man does.



Wiki tells me the cast of this show is:

Barbara Walters
Joy Behar
Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Whoopi Goldberg
Sherri Shepherd

How in the world do these women not know these BASIC FACTS? And this is a show aimed at women, so they're doing an extra disservice.

Maybe I should have watched basketball...

I enjoy the show, on the few occasions that I have seen it, but the really important theme is "sarcasm". They employ it nearly constantly and fairly strongly. Women 2 and 3 were absolutely being sarcastic - a long time ago a rape case hinged on the fact that the woman got pregnant, and raped women can't get pregnant because they don't have orgasms. Or something like that. They discussed it pretty long then all about how absurd it all was. Certainly every woman there knows that no one has to orgasm for pregnancy to take place (unless they had a guest on the show). They have also done segments on the subject of pulling out = parenthood.

OH! Well good, I'm very, very glad to hear that. I'm not at all familiar enough with it to realize it was. Thanks!
