Women have been second class citizens for too long. When women are given labels like slut or prostitute for using medicine that can save their life or improve their health, something is very wrong, and Slut Stream is here to make known that this is completely unacceptable behavior. If men like Limbaugh chose to call mothers and daughters sluts for their use of certain medicines to protect their health, we women will bear the label Slut as a badge of honor.

Mr. Limbaugh apologized for his language on Saturday, by which time sponsors were jumping overboard and even some Republicans who normally kiss his ring were daring to suggest he'd gone too far.
The larger issues involved in his rant — an obsession with other people's personal lives — is something that neither he nor others of his ilk would want to explain. Mr. Limbaugh has endured this kind of speculation himself; a man who thinks of himself as "the intellectual engine of the conservative movement" should have a higher regard for individual liberty.

Mr. Limbaugh is a brilliant broadcaster who discovered that there were vast amounts of money to be made in playing to the fears and insecurities of talk radio's largely older, white male demographic.

He spawned hundreds of imitators, broadcasters for whom sincerity comes with a dollar sign, including an entire cable news network.

And because this demographic is a core Republican constituency, he succeeded in not just coarsening American political discourse, but in twisting the party beyond recognition. It's a remarkable achievement.
