House Dem: Global Warming Could Force Women to Trade Sex for Food
The Blaze ^ | 3/26/15 | Pete Kasperowicz

A senior House Democrat has once again issued an apocalyptic warning that climate change will hit women harder than men, and that it could drive millions of poor women to engage in “transactional sex” in order to provide food and water for their families.

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) proposed a resolution on Wednesday that said as the climate changes, it will cause food and water scarcity around the world. That will create pressures on poor women in particular, since they are often charged with growing food and collecting water for their families.

As resources dwindle, it could force many women to barter sexual favors for food and water, the resolution stated.

“[F]ood insecure women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health,” it read.

The resolution concluded by saying Congress must recognize the “disparate impacts of climate change on women,” and must encourage the use of “gender-sensitive frameworks in developing policies to address climate change.”

Lee introduced a similar resolution in the last Congress, but it didn’t go anywhere. Lee said in 2013 that her resolution is meant to remind policymakers that more women need to be included in discussions about how to respond to the changing climate.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun

and early marriage

Perhaps the feminists can form water companies to keep women from having to marry.

The garbage and swill that whirls around in the minds of democrats doesn’t leave much room for reality.

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) ... if she were really serious, she would commit suicide to free up food and water for those other struggling women.

With or without climate change, demRATs will continue to screw their constituents in exchange for subsidies and their constitutional rights.

Well she’ll starve.

I’ve heard of men having sex with walruses (consensual, of course), but there are limits to even the strongest stomach. Aren’t there?

It is more likely that the Warren Buffet led merge of Kraft Foods and Heinz Foods will cause women to trade sex for food.

Bill Clinton traded jobs for sex. A woman should demand a judgeship or top position with Arkansas power and light, not settle for just food.
