Sluts Unite Against Republicans, Rush Limbaugh
Watch out Republicans, here come the sluts.
Womens rights activists are banding together to Rock the Slut Vote in an online effort to register women to vote and cast their ballots against Republicans in 2012.
If the GOP thinks that throwing the word slut at us at this point is going to silence women they have another thing coming, said Susan McMillan Emry, the sites founder.
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh thrust the derogatory word into the political arena in February when he called law student Sandra Fluke a slut for testifying before Congress in support of contraceptives.
Following the national backlash over Limbaughs name-calling, Rock the Slut Vote is now aiming to diffuse the offensive term, Emry said.
Taking a vein from comedian Jeff Foxworthy and his You might be a Redneck if jokes, Emrys website gives visitors 22 reasons why You might be a slut, including if youve ever used contraception or if youre still downloading Dixie Chicks music or if you dont go to church.
The site aims to re-appropriate the word slut so that Limbaugh and other Republicans cannot use it to bully and silence women, Emry said.
Its really about taking the power away from that word more than it is about Rush Limbaugh, she said. He gave the word the notoriety but we are trying to take it back.
Emry said the Rush Limbaugh mess coupled with the Susan G. Komen Foundations decision to cut Planned Parenthood funding and recent efforts in state Legislatures to restrict access to abortions and contraceptives compelled her to create the site after 56 years on the political sidelines.

Was that wrong? Was I a pig? Was I sexist??
