A bill proposed to the Ohio statehouse will make male ejaculation without intent to have a baby, a fineable offense of up to $10,000.
The bill has been proposed by State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rader, who wrote it to point out what they see as the absurdity of rules that control women’s bodies but do not control men’s. It has not been formally introduced to the House Floor yet.
Per Somani and Rader, men would face a $1,000 first offense, $5,000 second offense, and $10,000 subsequent offense fine to “discharge semen or genetic material without intent to fertilize an embryo.”
Which is great until you remember that the religious right is okay with that idea
It’d legitimately be hilarious if they introduced it on the House floor and the general response was, “Oh, yeah, this is perfect!” and it somehow passed.
Hilarious, but awful. This has cursed monkey paw wish written all over it.
I don’t live in the USA, so I would be very amused to see these things pass.
It’s already happened. Not this exact bill, but a “inception begins at ejaculation” bill. Forget which idiot Congressman proposed it.
I believe they actually did it before these people started to attempt to use it to troll people.
Yah, the at times almost universal male genital mutilation in the US goes back to religious nutjobs like Kellog & co to stop boys from masturbating. It’s also what motivated Kellog, in his quest for the blandest food, to invent cornflakes, because, apparently, spicy foods make you naughty. Good Glob, I wish I was kidding.
As well as with homosexuality. People should definitely learn about the history of sodomite. Gang bangs of pastor were a thing.
