File under: this would be funny if it weren’t so fucking sad.

Michigan House Republicans prohibited state Rep. Lisa Brown (D) from speaking on the floor after she ended a speech against a bill restricting abortions by referencing her female anatomy, the Detroit News reports.

Said Brown: “Finally, Mr. Speaker, I’m flattered that you’re all so interested in my vagina, but ‘no’ means ‘no.’”

Republicans said Brown was “offensive” and wouldn’t allow her to voice her opinion on a school employee retirement bill.

Responded Brown: “If I can’t say the word vagina, why are we legislating vaginas? What language should I use?”

Oh, dear god, Michigan. Get it together.

I guess she should have called it her “special lady flower” like a proper adult.

DEAR GOD I CAN’T

I have been waiting for an opportunity to use this gif to express dismay at GOP-sponsored sexism and misogyny!

Discussing female anatomy is forbidden… unless you’re trying to legislate (against) it.
