They're serious about misleading "women of all ages;" they have the t-shirts to prove it


"Sex Causes Babies" is one of the t-shirt slogans of the group proknowledge.org (the newest entry point onto the anti-sex movement's misinformation highway). Is Ralph Wiggum their communications director? But they're serious. The site offers other man-repellent clothing selections for when you and your girlfriends go clubbing, including "Herpes Kills Dates" and "Guys Don't Get Pregnant". (No possibility of wearing these shirts ironically.) Here's their mission statement:

Proknowledge was created to give women of all ages a place to go for straight facts about sex, choices, and where to go for support. Free from lectures, social scrutiny and judgments. Proknowledge is designed to empower women with the knowledge they need to take control of their lives and to make informed, intelligent choices."

If by 'facts' they mean ideology it begins to make a lot more sense.

The site's areas of advice for "women of all ages" includes a section on relationships where you learn this, "When you were little, boys were stupid. Now, thanks to hormones they don't seem so "stupid". Because they're guys. And guys can be cool. Guys can be cute. And what used to be gross doesn't seem that way anymore." (I know what you're thinking. I've already emailed the group to alert them: procondescension.org is available.)

Of course, no anti-sex site would be complete without the anti-contraception section. At proknowledge.org they've devoted two areas to the topic: There's the chemical or medical abortion section under which emergency contraception is listed. Then there's the 5 facts about contraception. They are, to summarize: 1. Contraception fails. 2. Contraception fails 3. Contraception fails 4. Use contraception and you'll get an STD and finally 5. Use contraception and you'll get an STD.

Thanks to Jessica at feministing for alerting us all to this helpful new resource.

Sex causes babies...hmmm - didn't you learn this in grade school? So, when you go "clubbing" you can't display simple truths on your clothing? Oh, I see, it would interfere with engaging in the most intimate of all possible physical encounters with total strangers? I guess if you're seeking to tell a lie with your body (having physical intimacy with someone whom you are not intimate with), you don't want to tell the truth with your t shirt.

Women, wake UUPP!! You come with wombs. Your fertility is a gift, not a disease, nor a medical condition. We do not need to be chemically or surgically altered to function sexually like men. Our physical and psychological well being is based on our nature - and we have a more complex sexual nature than men. Ours goes beyond intercourse to include pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding.

You cannot be truly free whilst denying who you truly are.

And women, wombs included, are wonderful...

Ask yourselves this- why did Playgirl magazine fail to interest women (appealing mostly to gay men)? Why do the majority of women look for a relationship, not just a hook-up?

The answer to these questions lies within the unique nature of women. WE ARE DIFFERENT. Men and women are complimentary and need each other.
