So what is this? Some kind of anti masturbation law?

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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.”

The article is very short.

My article is 12 inches and very girthy actually, thank you! There used to be a surgeon in California to help you all with short articles. Sadly, you know, the fires...

Short article, yet you failed to include the third that makes it illegal to jerk it:

"As written by Sen. Bradford Blackmon, the bill would make it “unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.”"

Because it's SATIRE!!

If anyone is unsure-- look the senator up, he's a Democrat.

Controlling how adult people practice sex now, eh. Boy, I sure hope all these Trump voters are very happy now.

They are, fucking teenage relatives is all they want.

It took me less time to find out what this was about than to make this response.

Careful, stroking your ego like that puts you at risk of violating this law.

O... kay. Was I correct? I tried interpreting the rules listed in the link and drew a conclusion about what they're trying to achieve. 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for trying to help, good buddy.

[–] WordBox@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you're not interested enough to read why bother asking

This is what I said. Did you read that part? I did read it, I'm just not certain what the real agenda is behind this ridiculous nonsense.

You've made two replies now wasting your energy by being rude instead of helping. Is this how you treat people you meet in person as well? Sheesh, bro.

Also your question makes no sense. I'm "not interested" yet I'm still asking? Who would ask if they're not interested? That makes no sense. Just like someone replying with rude shit instead of helping. That also makes zero sense.

[–] jacecomix@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's what it looks like. Yeesh.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Absolutely ridiculous, is what it is. Everybody does it.
