Faced with relentless Republican attacks on reproductive freedom including efforts to give embryos and fetuses legal rights from the moment of conception, Democratic lawmakers in two states have recently introduced legislation that would ban men from ejaculating for purposes other than making babies, with some exceptions.
It’s posturing that allows their opponents to run ads about how they waste time with stupid fucking fake bills instead of actually trying to get shit done.
I know it might be hard to see now, but an eye for an eye is how we got here in the first place.
These joke bills do nothing of any value for anyone that understands that the bills aren’t meant to be taken literally seriously, and only make idiots mad at “the demonrats” for “bein dumbasses while our country burns”.
It would also be another opportunity for them to portray the left as hating men
“It’s posturing”
If you believe this, then you believe that denying women reproductive Rights and bodily autonomy is posturing.
which it is not.
If women are being denied bodily autonomy, then men should be denied bodily autonomy.
“stupid fucking fake bills”
these are “fake bills”, women in the states do not have bodily autonomy or reproductive rights anymore because of real laws.
those same laws should apply to men if they are going to apply to women.
“an eye for an eye is how we got here in the first place.”
incorrect.
how we got here now Is that Democrats didn’t fight back against authoritarianism hard enough.
Democrats provided more rights for people, by inclusive legislation.
Republicans have taken away the rights of specific people by exclusive legislation.
and if their legislation is going to exclude women from bodily autonomy, then men should be excluded from bodily autonomy as well.
these are real laws in your country, women do not have rights to healthcare or bodily autonomy anymore because of real laws.
and if women do not have those rights, then men should not either.
