Nice Try, Bristol. Thanks for Playing

This spot just hits all the wrong notes, no?

As Feministing.com says:

Apparently you should keep your legs crossed (Candie’s Foundation’s preferred method of birth control) if you’re poor, don’t have family support, or are not a celebrity. What a despicable, classist approach.

I don’t think anybody needs to be lectured by her or anyone else about abstinence. They just need to be informed about what sex really means and proper birth control.

My daughter will be informed–and not when she’s 18 or on her wedding night–about sex.  She will understand when she hits her teens just what sex, pregnancy and birth control are all about. Of course I don’t want her to get emotionally or physically hurt by engaging in meaningless sexual encounters. What I do want is for  her to view her sexuality as a positive aspect of her adulthood.

She’ll learn that from her mother and me–not from lectures delivered by the spoiled child of a failed politician.

Pause before you play.

Nice try, Bristol. Thanks for playing.
