Carrie Prejean is Miss October in the 2010 “Great American Conservative Women” calendar, put out by conservative women’s group The Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute. She’ll appear among such luminary conservatives as Anne Coulter and Michelle Malkin. Everyone’s favorite ex Miss California called her inclusion in the calendar, in which she is fully clothed and conservatively-dressed in a white button down shirt “a great honor.” She also said that she’s sticking up for conservative women everywhere, especially on campus:
“I was so honored to be in the calendar as one of the great American conservative women. As a former beauty queen, it’s refreshing to be taken seriously,” she said in a statement.
The 22-year-old also spoke about her desire for young conservative women to become leaders on campus.
“It’s so important for young women on college campuses to feel comfortable standing up for their conservative ideas. Conservative women need to be vocal in the public, and get involved in the media,” Prejean said. “I hope to have encouraged, and inspired other conservative women out there to not hold back, engage in intelligent discussions, stand up for what you believe in, and get involved. We cannot see a change if we don’t start with ourselves.”
The calendar also features other notable conservative women including Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.).

I checked out the website for the group that’s putting out this calendar, and they have a “sexuality” section of their website with brief question and answer segments from an on-campus doctor about sex. It’s full of scary advice meant to get women to avoid all kinds of sex – regular/oral/anal/manual – until they’re married, and convince them to marry young and have kids. You may think I’m jumping to conclusions, but just read some of the “facts” they present. Some are technically correct, but not all, and they basically make it seem like there are all sorts of risks to having any kind of orgasm with a male partner outside of marriage. You’re not even supposed to engage in manual stimulation with someone because you could get cancer – on your hands!
Having more than five oral sex partners has been associated with throat cancer. Turns out that HPV can cause malignant tumors in the throat, just like it does in the cervix.
In a study of sexually active college men, HPV was found both where you’d expect—the genital area—and where you wouldn’t: under fingernails. Yes, you read that right. Researchers now speculate whether the virus can be shared during activities considered “safe,” like mutual masturbation.

Unfortunately the oral sex throat cancer claim is true – but it can be easily prevented with the use of condoms, like those flavored ones. Give me a break with the “researchers speculate” that you can get HPV from jerking someone off. It’s like good conservative women aren’t supposed to get off with a male partner by any means. Hey, there are always other women, right? I’m sure they’d come up with all sorts of scary risks to that too.
They also include words of wisdom that “Your fertility is a window of opportunity that will close.” A nasty statement by the campus doc continues “For some women, just as this window is closing, they feel an unexpected longing for a child. It saddens me each time a patient describes this—typically a student who always put career first, and is finally getting a Ph.D. at 38 or 40. She’s thrilled to reach that milestone, but aches for another: to feel a new life inside her, to give birth.”
They also link to an abstinence-only website that erroneously claims “Using a condom during sex is not ‘safe’. Even if you use a condom EVERY time you have sex, 20% of the time, it will not prevent pregnancy.” That’s not correct. With proper use, condoms are effective 98% of the time. With regular/average use, they fail 10% to a worse case scenario 18% of the time, not 1 out of 5 or 20%. Learn how to use condoms and they work much better, but we’re not supposed to know that right? We’re supposed to be so scared to have sex that we never do it, but telling that to kids doesn’t work and leaves them unprepared when the time comes.
So is the kind of empowerment that Carrie Prejean wants to bring to female college students – don’t get off with a man at all until you’re married? If you do, you risk getting cancer in just about every way you can think of doing it. They’re basically telling women to get married and pregnant young and put off their goals or they won’t ever have a baby. Sounds super empowering to me.
This begs the question – does Carrie do anything with that football player she calls “amazing” or is she like the abstinent cheerleader in Glee – the one that ended up pregnant by her boyfriend’s best friend?

I think they could have chosen better women to represent Conservatives.
Is there a way I could get that calendar without paying for it? Because I could really use a picture of Anne Coulter to throw darts at…
Some of those “facts” you reprinted are frightening. I hate that people are convincing young women that their sexuality is dirty and their worth is related only to their ability to be someone’s wife. I can’t believe we are still fighting this fight, today. I can’t believe WOMEN are behind this, either.
Agreed Princess Pea – it’s SO upsetting that women are actually contributing to this. They’re their own worst enemies in terms of proclaiming what it means to be a “good” woman. Just. Barf.
These people are just plain ugly, inside and out.
I only clicked on this article to see the other “great conservatives” are. Seriously, Ann Coulter? And a beauty pagent entrant in competitions that highly sexualise women are sticking up for the right-wing? Makes me glad that I’m a dyed-in-the-wool-liberal-pinko-lefie.
But have you read the little comments along with the headshots? If that anti-intellectual and regressive organisation that’s sponsoring this travesty frown upon women shirking their duty to become mothers by getting their PhDs – you can be damned sure that they have absolutely no regard for those women soldiers that many of these “greatest conservatives” so jingoistically laud.
And as for Ann Coulter… I’ve never set foot in the US or Canada, but even I’m insulted on your behalf. 👿
Bitches PLEASE. You can also get cancer from smoking, inhaling other peoples smoke ( so what we’re not supposed to breathe? Wait is that a “sin” too? ) You can get cancer from being exposed to the sun, you can get cancer from any damn thing. Now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got to go masturbate.
Seven watch out your hand could fall off!
CB: OH NOES. lol
The funny thing is, usually the ones preaching this sort of stuff are the really wild ones behind closed doors. Just like the politicians who look down their noses at others and cry family values, are usually the ones involved with hookers, affairs, men’s bathrooms, etc.
The not so funny thing is anything that encourages women to base their entire value on marriage and children.
L-O FRIGGIN’-L at Seven’s comment.
how about a group self-love session?
that’ll make their heads spin!
Did she offer any stats on breast implants or hair coloring?
Haha, Michelle Bachman looks stoned. And I’d never realized how cock-eyed Michelle Malkin is. Yikes. It’s like they photographed her mid-twitch.
Meh. These bitches are all See You Next Tuesdays.
OMG St. Angie – I was thinking earlier of something along the lines of the “Blueberries” Eli Roth incident, like we could help Seven, you know? I think that’s best left to IM, though. I wonder what kind of “scientific evidence” there is to suggest that cybersex is dangerous. We’re all going to get carpal tunnel!
well, then, I’ll see you in hell, wrist-brace and all!
Oh, where do I begin?
Conservative is coming from a pageant twat whose only claim to fame was bungling a beauty pageant- where you are based and judged on your looks alone. And has breast implants. For what? to appear more attractive to the opposite sex. Conservative coming from one of the country’s greatest embarrassments to Feminism and Women’s suffrage. And conservative coming from a hateful shrew with a chip on her shoulder and disdain for anyone but herself. Geez, did any copies even sell? it prolly did. To people who are so backwards and blinded by hatred for what? Just to hate on things for no damn reason.
Really, I don’t consider myself highly educated cause I only go to a community college for now but even I see the black emptiness that must be in their minds.
Nothing fills me with rage than the sight of MANN Coulter. I seriously would strangle her with my bare hands.
Actually, the notion that women can only be fulfilled by having a child makes damn near as mad. The ideas that these kinds of groups present are setting back human rights (not just women’s rights) by leaps & bounds. Its a travesty, really
The introduction of values of who, how many and when to engage in sexual activity, whether for procreation or pleasure should be every woman’s individual, private choice, right and freedom. Offering these scientific facts along with a dose of values serves a disingenuous agenda that is not necessarily representative of all Conservative women.
Certainly these particular women (Coulter, malkin, Prejean, Bachmann) were chosen for their controversial positions in media. While there will always be opposing discourse in politics,I still maintain that there are stronger, better, smarter American Conservative women than some of the ones in this lot.
Next.
The conservative calendar makes me nauseous, these women are hateful closet racists -sorry but it’s true- but I kind of agree with the fertility window thing. Young women are not given enough education about their limited time to have biological kids…I wish I had a better understanding of that when I was young. I would have made different choices…it’s a society geared to men – for them it doesn’t matter they can have kids whenever – maybe for a woman it is a good choice to get married and have kids when young and get it out of the way – then work on their career…just a thought.
You can tell the nature of a thing by the company it keeps. So again, this shows how irrelevant and out of touch the conservative ass-hats are with this country.
OMG CB & St. Angie have me laughing my ass off!! So much I risked carpaltunnel injury to write out the actual words!! And I thought my rabbit pearl was making me healthy by:
— Building her resistance to yeast infections.
— Combating pre-menstrual tension and other physical conditions associated with their menstrual cycles, like cramps.
— Relieving painful menstruation by increasing blood flow to the pelvic region. This will also reduce pelvic cramping and related backaches.
— Relieving chronic back pain and increasing her threshold for pain.
so says Fox New!
And really-they will turn ANYTHING into a calendar these days!
I once longed to be fulfilled by a child – until I realized I could more easily and happily be fulfilled by the large penis of a hot, liberal man. Less expensive in the long run, too!
wait, is this done BY conservaties or against them? cuz that’s obviously not clear :/
“With regular/average use, they fail 10% to a worse case scenario 18% of the time, not 1 out of 5 or 20%.”
PLEASE clarify the meaning of these statistics– they refer to failure rates over a year of use. Condoms don’t fail 1 out of every 10 times they are used– over the course of a year, 10-18% of couples who use them in a typical manner will end up pregnant– not too suprising when “typical use” includes things like putting on the condom after intercourse has already begun, using old/expired condoms or lube that damages the latex, not following up with the morning after pill after a condom brekas, and sometimes not bothering to use one at all!
UGH get off of my birthday month!
Ladies (and gent)…. Eli Roth and his blueberries will be packed with antioxidants, which will balance out the “carcinogens”. Just to be sure, I’d say he’d bring along some pomegranates if CB asked very nicely 😈
(not that I would be partaking…. helloooo to my significant other 😉 )
Carrie Prejean is considered a ‘great American conservative woman’? Seriously? How is that possible? She is pretty, she made one comment months ago at a beauty contest, that is pretty much it… how does that make her one of the ‘greats’?
@Ash: LOL
She has such an ugly, bitchy scrounge mouth. ICK!
Personally, I love that conservatives are resorting to this kind of nonsense. They are obviously getting more and more desperate and unfathomable choices like Carrie Prejean and Sarah Palin have managed to alienate the very base they are trying to rally. So keep it up, folks!!!
That said, I think it’s interesting Carrie fits the ‘conservative’ bill given her constant lack of clothing.
Maryann: Those statistics for some reason reminded of the quote from Anchorman: Sex Panther 60% of the time, it works every time.
I used to get mad at this shiz, but now it’s all so friggin comical. Obviously no one who likes this crap is a rational human being, so all you can do is laugh and hope these people wake up one day. You can vote conservative and not be so backwards and crazy! Change your (republican) party, but don’t follow it blindly so you can pretend it doesn’t have ANY problems (like clandestine racism and sexism)!
If I were a conservative, I would be embarrassed.
Condom use would be more successful with more sex education!
hatsumomo–Rock on! I’m at a Community college as well! 🙂 It’s so much cheaper!
Since when does it take around 20 years to get a PhD???
Being conservative does not make one a racist. Being a liberal does not make one a non-racist. That being said, Carrie stood her ground when asked about gay marriage. She knew her belief was not going to be in favor of the liberal/politcal view. She could of lied knowing she would have had a better chance of winning Miss America. But she choose to stand her ground of on her own opinion….Which the Freedoms of America Allows. Listen, just because she doesn’t believe in gay marriage doesn’t mean she hates gay men or gay women. So all you haters towards Carrie Prejean, remember.. your also using the Freedoms of America to speak your mind against her .
CB, St. Angie, Livia, Y’all gonna get me fired, I’m laughing so hard at work.
“If this country didn’t have the stumoch to stand up for its principles , we’d be Canada by now”-Anne Coulter – Ok then why haven’t you guys and your strong stumochs gotten yourself universal health care by now?!
You’d be lucky to be Canada thank you!
On a different note, I don’t think they are saying women MUST have children, they just stated a true fact that unfortunately it is very hard to get pregnant in your late thirties/early forties and so sometimes you do need to chose between career and children, at least for a little while. I know it sucks, we can’t have it all. I know someone very close to me who wished someone warned her of this. Although if you want to adopt, then you can have it all!And props to you, there are a lot of kids that need homes!
Wonderful paintings! That is the kind of info that should be shared around the net. Shame on the search engines for no longer positioning this publish higher! Come on over and talk over with my site . Thank you =)
