When is this shit going to stop? Can we evolve faster or something?

You need to re-read your Darwin, Sir or Madame. ;-)

Would it Godwining if I wanted to up the selection pressure?

No, it might be Galtoning. Francis Galton, Darwin's cousin, coined the term "eugenics." Or what your suggesting could be Spencering, after Herbert Spencer who coined the terms "evolution" in reference to his friend Darwin's theory of natural selection (which Charles liked, though he felt it misleading) and "survival of the fittest" (which Charles simply thought inaccurate).

Under Mr. Darwin's actual theory, the Idaho anti-vagina crowd will probably up the selection pressure against the word's champions, given their high birth rate.

A conclusion which is, I wholeheartedly agree, rather sad.
