LINK Texas Bill Prohibiting Male Masturbation Moves Closer To Becoming Law

"Commenting on her bill, Rep. Farrar told mysanantonio.com:

A lot of people find the bill funny. What’s not funny are the obstacles that Texas women face every day, that were placed there by legislatures making it very difficult for them to access healthcare."

What an absurdity, those lawmakers must be on crack.

If those lawmakers are not on drugs then they ought to be on drugs. I wonder how such a law would be enacted, would all males have to wear a wristband that detects rapid movements? What about when you are jogging?....Ahahahahaa

The worst part is that there are some people (unfortunately, far too many), who just won't get the point of all this.

@evestrat I feel that!

How much further backwards...can certain law makers take us? We have major SOCIAL problems...like police shooting people DEAD (and especially the colored), at the drop of YOUR hat and YET, we have law makers...hung up on the GENTIALS of our male citizens! Holy heavens, where have the people with WORKING BRAINS gone?

@evestrat I did...and I just believe, if passed it will be another law on the books...that can be misused! How, will that help females?

@evestrat i wondered if it could be used against an individual over some innocent act? It seems strange that science and health, isn't impressive enough to prove our cause! I think that religion is more to blame, than government, alone? Thanks for laying it out for me...I hope it works!

A lot of people comment without reading the linked article, making their comment fairly irrelevant.

I like the statement that the proposed law is trying to say. Though, I don’t think proposing legislation is a proper way to say something, especially when, as demonstrated in this thread, lots of people will take it at face value and miss the point entirely.

@obtusethevague1 No they won’t, but you did.

They'll never pull this off.

there are a couple ways to take that

@btroje That's the idea. I live in Texas, so I have to joke about it to survive. 🙂

@GizmoAmbivert [takes a bow] 'Tis my specialty.

Maybe this bil -if voted into law-will teach the stupid legislators that women reproductive rights must be respected. I hope you guys see the sarcasm and the message conveyed by this bill.

Yeah, the intent seems to be a little overlooked.

@Lauren Well, reading comprehension has never been "forte" in USA.

@DUCHESSA {{{ Sad to agree }}}

Gee, that's racist !!!! What about women??? ????

Obviously not... What did I miss?

Yeah, good luck trying to rub out masturbation. 😀

@Countrycuz666 I'm touched, of course.

So let me get this straight?

A bunch of wankers is going to introduce legislation outlawing wanking presumable to be policed by the wank gestapo?

These same wankers, that's prosecuting wankers not the actual wankers, could then take you to court for illegal wanking?

What would the penalty be for whacking one off on the sly? A week's abstinance policed by the wank gestapo that couldn't prevent you wanking in the first place?

Tossers!

...some good OLD FASHIONED MANNERS, would take care of this problem! THEY CAN'T TEACH MANNERS, ANYMORE?

Ha, it’ll probably pass, regardless of her intentions.

I've been following this for over a year but hadn't heard anything lately until this. I think it's hilarious and I wonder if the bill addresses who will be responsible for monitoring for illegal emissions?

Some creep will volunteer no doubt.

@TerriCity In Texas?! That's the kind of thing that they are trying to eliminate.

2

Now that I read the article I fully support this bill. I love this bill.
She is very clever in making a point.

If you're caught illegally masturbating would the penalty be to have to sing 'Oh cum all ye faithful' in the town square?

5

Perhaps that's the only way to get men to understand and empathize.

I doubt it but worth a try.

This is just a bill in retalliation for all the bills passed restricting women of their right to autonomy.

I love this bill the lady proposing it is a genius !!!

2

Haha, if I lived in that state I would like to see them come to my house and stop me.

Every sperm is sacred...

Go Jessica!!

For those not able to click the link because they are LEGALLY masturbating,

"House Bill 4260, called the “Man’s Right to Know Act,” would punish male masturbation with a $100 fine, and require men who want Viagra to be subject to a rectal exam.

The bill, filed earlier this year by Texas legislator Rep. Jessica Farrar 🍸, was referred to the House State Affairs Committee on Tuesday.

By focusing on male masturbation, the proposed legislation is an obvious attempt to satirize and draw attention to the unreasonable and dangerous policy proposals concerning women’s reproductive freedom coming from the Republican Party.

Ha,ha,ha!

And how, exactly, are they going to enforce this? Anybody wanna be on masturbation patrol? Not me.

The Texas legislature is full of a bunch of jerkoffs!

I would love, love and love to see this bill brought up by the DNC senatorial section. Put the bill in front of the american people. The women will immediately get it and most men, once they recover from shock, will look forward to a little karate pulling later that evening

Ibsanity.

I read it I get it. Hopefully, more people will get the jest of what she is proposing. I can’t believe how much Texas has been moving backwards on reproductive rights.
