An author is facing a furious backlash after lashing out at women who seduce men and then blame them for falling pregnant.

Controversial American journalist Denise McAllister, from North Carolina, wrote: 'I am sick and tired of hearing women act like victims when they’re the ones who seduce men with their glossy lips and lubed legs.

'Choosing to have sex because they’re too horny to stop, then complain when they get pregnant acting as if it’s all the man’s fault,' she tweeted to her 70,000 followers last week.

She continued to defend her opinion in a series of tweets, saying: 'Women need to stop blaming men for their choice to be s****.'

'Women know their power over men. It can be boiled down to one word: sex. It’s not an indictment. It’s natural. The problem is women deny it while using it every day and in every way. Then when they’re faced with the consequences, they blame men. It’s time for women to own it.'

Her post was met with derision from commenters, including one who wrote: 'My daughter keeps asking for lip gloss and I’ve been reluctant because she’s young. But, you are spot on! Deep down I know lip gloss is a gateway to pregnancy. Thank goodness I didn’t fall into that trap.'

Denise, who co-wrote the book Spygate: The Attempted Sabotage of Donald J. Trump, was fired from online magazine The Federalist earlier this year after posting a homophobic tweet about HuffPost writer Yashar Ali.

She also became part of a meme after criticising Meghan McCain, to which The View host replied 'You were at my wedding, Denise'.

With thousands of people commenting on the post, many were outraged with the author's comment.

The controversial writer, of North Carolina, penned: 'I am sick and tired of hearing women act like victims when they’re the ones who seduce men with their glossy lips and lubed legs'

But one phrase in particular caused great confusion between internet users, as they mocked her for using the term ‘lubed legs’.

One wrote: 'I was just looking at my ashy legs after putting on lip balm and was thinking I should put some lotion on these legs. I had no idea this combination put me at risk of pregnancy.

Another said: 'So all this time I’ve been putting lotion on my legs for dry skin I was actually trying to seduce men??? That explains soo much.'

'Omg, when I think about all the lotion and lip gloss I applied in high school without even thinking about the risks,' one social media user joked.

Responding to the outrage, Denise told MailOnline: 'People reacting to my tweet are focusing on the 'lube' because they don't want to deal with the substance of my tweet - that women should take responsibility for their actions.

'This isn't s***-shaming. Women can do what they want, but if they're going to choose to be 's****' then they should be responsible about it and not blame men for everything they do—and I'm not talking about rape.

'I'm talking about free actions. So untwist your panties about silly stuff and deal with serious issues affecting a lot of women.'

She added: 'If you're autonomous, you alone are responsible for what you do with your bodies. Spreading your legs for a man is your choice. Own it.

'As for lubed legs, it obviously means oiled. If you don't get that, google lip lube, Gwyneth Paltrow and lubed legs, and there is even something called Boob Lube Soothing Body Soap. Try not to get the vapors when you see what's out there.'

The author became an internet punchline in March when she tweeted criticism about The View's Meghan McCain, only for the host to remind her that she was a guest at her wedding in November of 2017.

Denise tweeted: 'Can someone explain to me the purpose of The View? It seems to me to be a roundtable of delusional mental midgets ricocheting ignorance and lack of emotional regulation.'

The post included a link to a story about Meghan questioning her role on the show, which included a photo of her.

When Meghan saw the post, she replied, 'You were at my wedding Denise....'

To that, the author wrote back the next day: 'I think the photo on the story made it look like this was personally directed at you, Meghan.

'My comment was directed at The View and the mental midgets who surround you. I don’t even know how you do it daily, and my hat is off to you for standing strong in the midst of crazy.'
