I figured they were just trying to portray this as applicable to all ethnicities, tekanji. But then I was too busy giggling, and wishing for my very own fabulous (fake)fur-trimmed vulva coat. *shrug*

Am I the only one who was bothered by the way whites and non-whites were portrayed? Specifically that the two “hosts” were obviously white, while the couple that was used to demostrate pregnancy was black. The woman who was shown for douching was the most disturbing. Not only did she read as hispanic to me, but she looked… scary. Like, as in possibly on drugs scary.

That was absolutely beautiful. I do not have a sixth grader, but I threw it at the boyfriend in the mad hope that he will start to understand the mechanics of birth control outside of the “She makes me wear the little stretchy penis bag” realm.

Damn, that was awesome. I’m sharing it with everyone. Thanks.

No, nobody’s been equating *conception* with implantation. It’s *pregnancy* that does not occur until implantation.

In all due fairness, I don’t think that a lot of the people who support emergency contraception have emphasized that it works pre-fertilization until fairly recently. When distinguishing it from abortion, most of them just tried to equate conception with implantation rather than fertilization.

I’m going to run this by my kid’s dads (step and bio) & stepmom and then will probably show this to our 6th grader when he gets home, too. This is excellent.

Dear God that was funny (and completely on-target). Especially the part where the animated vulva threatens the animated penis with a catheter if he doesn’t shut up and let her finish what she was saying. I will be showing this to my sixth grader the moment she gets home from school. Absolutely excellent, thank you.

The truly amazing thing, in my opinion, is that if you tried to show this video in a high school to teach kids what all those folks you mentioned don’t know, someone would be up in arms about anthropomorphized genitalia talking sense to kids. It’s hard to believe that the truth can be so threatening to so many people in this country.
