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.

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

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

Yeah, good luck trying to rub out masturbation.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

What an absurdity, those lawmakers must be on crack.

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.

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

Ha,ha,ha!

Love it! Men still won't get how ridiculous they are thinking they should have power over woman's bodies and choices. I sure hope I see a lot of change in my lifetime, this shit is getting very old.

Wow what a bunch of jerkoffs

And HOW praytell, would that EVER be enforced !?

Don't know if you watch "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" but his main story Sunday night was about abortion, specifically "Crisis Pregnancy Centers" and how horrid they are to women. If you have access to the show I'd highly recommend watching the episode. It may be on YouTube by now.

I'd say: "Payback's a bi... " but I try not to use the 'b' word.

Though This Was Brilliant.

The Texas legislature is full of a bunch of jerkoffs!

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!

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.
