(CNN) – While commenting Thursday on the recent contraception coverage controversy, Foster Friess, a major donor backing Rick Santorum, reflected on a more traditional, "inexpensive" form of birth control.
"Back in my days, we used Bayer aspirin for contraception.The gals put it between their knees, and it wasn't that costly," the multi-millionaire mutual fund manager said on MSNBC.
Get it, ladies? Just keep your knees locked at all times. Hahaha. It works for "contraceptions," and even contraception.
Yeah. Mitchell wasn't amused, either.
"Excuse me. I'm just trying to catch my breath from that, Mr. Friess, frankly," she said after a pause, before changing the subject.
Friess' comments aren't likely to help Santorum overcome the frequent impression that he holds antiquated views about a great many things
Friess has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to a pro-Santorum super PAC, the Red, White, and Blue Fund.

Men need to shut up and stay out of it. They need real women/doctors to tell these asses what is really going on with a woman's body.
Someone needs to hurry up and invent some kind of Lysistrata contraption for women, for exactly these moments. Because at the end of the day, a lot of hetero dudes dont think twice about thinking this way, yet nevertheless presume an entitlement to enjoying sex with women.

It's kind of linked in their heads; birth control = lots more sex, can I get a hello?
smh.
Anyone who thinks a lady can't have sex with her knees pressed firmly together has clearly not been inventive enough.
Yup, I'm done with the world for today. If they can not comprehend the necessity of something so very obvious, there is nothing more to say that does not constitute shouting into the void.
Basically what this fuck wants is for women to be subservient baby making machines who aren't able to make reproductive choices on their own, and that's UNACCEPTABLE.
Fuck I am so close to ragequitting the internet of the day.
