Just give ’em a hummer. Thus spake Sharon Stone.
Young people talk to me about what to do if they’re being pressed for sex. I tell them (what I believe): Oral sex is a hundred times safer than vaginal or anal sex. ‘If you’re in a situation where you cannot get out of sex, offer a blow job.’ I’m not embarrassed to tell them.
Well I’m mortified to read it.
My contempt for Sharon Stone was well established with the first “Basic Instinct” movie. Her gleeful participation in a depiction of lesbian and bisexual women that was at equal turns derivative and demonizing; her endless revelry in the tasteless beaver shot that made her career… Must she enjoy turning female sexuality into a cheap sideshow so very much?
With the release of the stunningly unnecessary “Basic Instinct 2,” Stone has been turned loose on an unsuspecting public once again. Her statements, compiled here by Salon, are worth the price of admission.
Stone’s Madonna/whore dichotomy divides the world into women who show their boobies and women who can be taken seriously. As ever, she revels in her role of trivialized sex pot.
People just are sitting there going, like, ‘I don’t care what she’s saying, I don’t care what she’s saying, I just want to know, does she get naked in that movie? Is she naked? Nude? Nude? Naked? Do I see her boobies? I don’t care what she’s saying, I don’t care, I don’t care, is she naked?’ So let’s just get through to that … YES!
Hillary, however, who has never shown her naked boobies in public, to my knowledge, is still just too sexual to have any real gravitas.
Hillary Clinton is fantastic. But I think it is too soon for her to run. This may sound odd, but a woman should be past her sexuality when she runs. Hillary still has sexual power and I don’t think people will accept that. It is too threatening…
Perhaps the Senator from New York should go back to her cookie recipes and leave all the politicking to the hopelessly unattractive.
Note to Miss Stone: It’s harder with you around.

Ummm…the hell????
If you’re in a situation where you cannot get out of sex, then you’re about to be raped.
She almost makes this seem like this is common, and accepted, like she’s giving cooking tips. If the rice burns on the bottom, don’t scrape it but pour as much of it out onto a platter. I’m not embarrassed to tell you.
My God…
Tragically, it is that common of an occurrence, but I totally agree with you that this language normalizes it in a gravely problematic way.
If you’re about to be raped… Give them a blow job??
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oral sex isn’t SAFE SEX… the myth that you can’t get STDS from Oral.. is a myth that needs to be wiped off this earth.
Stone should shut the fuck up about all issues relating to sex, rape and sexuality.
Ladies… fuck the piano lessons. Take martial arts. When a date presses you for anything you can always twist their hand in a certain way that makes them think it would be a good idea to stop.
Most dojos offer free women self-defense classes.
Give em a blow job… good grief.
I like the ‘stunning unnecessary’ line.
Stone is not a very deep thinker. That’s obvious.
will never ever be able to claim the title of Queen of White Trash.
That honor will belong to Miss Paris Hilton now and forever.
Sharon is wasting her time, she is out of her league, she simply cannot compete with Paris.
Well Miss Hilton does offer the added benefit of being a rabid racist. Hard to compete with that. I also doubt that Miss Stone would take such pride in poor spelling and grammar.
Ladies of the Bedchamber, though I will have to give Britney props for this timeless quote:
Well, it is a compound sentence, let’s give her credit for that.
To badly paraphrase Gene Hackman from Enemy of the State, I still don’t know if she’s incredibly smart, or incredibly stupid.
But I wish she’d go away, too.
Now that’s just sad.
When will she go away? Why do folks keep hitting the snooze button on her 15 minutes?
