15 Legitimate Things My Magical Vagina Can Shut Down

“From what I understand from doctors, if it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Everyone on and off the Internet is talking about women’s health expert Todd Akin’s claim that the female body has biological filters that stop rape sperm in its tracks and render all abortion unnecessary.

Though Akin quickly apologized, his assertions on science and rape created a huge backlash, with Eve Ensler writing him a HuffPo essay and doctors repudiating his pseudoscience.

But we think the Senate candidate has a point. (He is a representative, after all.) I was delighted to learn my body had powers I wasn’t aware of. If our vaginas are as magical as Todd Akin says, just think of what other bullshit they can shut down!

1. The gender wage gap

From what I understand from doctors, if my reproductive organs can shut down pregnancy from rape, it can certainly earn an extra $0.23 on a man’s dollar.

2. Roofies

From what I understand from doctors, if roofies are used in a case of “legitimate” rape, or “rape-rape,” the girl’s body has a way of shutting that down and expelling the poison. Unless the girl was drunk, in which case she was asking for it. And if she gets pregnant, you know it wasn’t rape-rape.

15. Political candidates with ridiculous ideas about rape who run for Congress

If the candidate is a legitimate idiot who believes women who become pregnant from rape weren’t “legitimately” raped, all citizens with and without magical vaginas have a way of shutting that whole thing down. All of it.

He’s got no chance whatsoever.
