      Well by rule 4(a) it seems encouraged to wank into an envelope and post it to him.

      "In a statement to WLBT News, Blackmon wrote, “All across the country, especially here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating to contraception and/or abortion focus on the woman’s role when men are fifty percent of the equation.

      This bill highlights that fact and brings the man’s role into the conversation. People can get up in arms and call it absurd but I can’t say that bothers me.”

      I know its Mississippi but this guy has to realize this targets women with a bias. Men: “Don’t masturbate or have sex for fun!”… Damn that sucks… Women: “Don’t masturbate or have sex for fun!.. oh and don’t ever release an egg again”. Wait I cant exist as a woman pre menopausal? Nope

        Does no one read the article? He literally did this because it shifts the focus from the woman’s role in abortion to men’s

          They read it, but they still don’t get it. It’s frustrating having to explain every tiny bit of nuance to them though. Glad you felt inclined. Lol

            We got it just fine. You are just acting way to stiff to even communicate, joke, or discuss. Why bother going to the comment section if you don’t want to read why their joking law has holes in it.

        Unfortunately, since their joke is badly written, it might be interpreted has you said. Yet, please notice, with the title of this law ( “Contraception Begins at Erection Act” ) that it is targeting was supposed to target men.

            Yes it’s fun to look at this joke in different ways and to think of how it could be written in much better ways.

        That and I would worry that if people took it too seriously, it could lead to a lot more rape.
