They should quit trolling and start resisting. Gesture politics is a displacement activity.

I mean tbf the GOP has a supermajority in the Ohio House so there's probably not much she can do other than trolling.
Not true. She could take a page from AOC's book and inform the people of their rights and how to resist the fascist administration AND troll the fascists for their ignorant reactions.
Ohio voters recently passed a constitutional amendment guaranteeing abortion rights, so writing that bill here is certainly mostly a signal to national politics.
Also, I had a vasectomy, so would I still be able to wank away under the proposed bill? lol

Required, actually. With mandatory minimums for both frequency and duration.
Fair enough.
How about proposing actual progressive legislation that would help her constituents, and calling out the Republicans who oppose it?
Agreed.
I get what they're doing, but they can look at the stats and see that Trump has broadened his coalition, in part, because of the fashionable hate directed toward men by people who consider themselves progressive, and stupid shit like this just adds gasoline to the fire.
Seriously, I'm so tired oh these "Gotcha! Look at how hypocritical they are!" gestures. They're empty and a complete waste of time.
They. Do. Not. Care.

I'll never financially recover from this.
I'm already several hundred thousand in debt.
These performative bills are so dumb; you can't shame the shameless. Republicans are open hypocrites. You think they care about this?
Push laws for actual protections against people being hurt
Absolutely will not happen in Ohio, the only way the statehouse could do anything beneficial for it's citizens would be to have a massive gas leak
They are too busy hurting people.

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.
Fucking Spoogspeare over here
The name seems like it has to have also been a dick joke, but I looked it up and apparently not.
Differing, somewhat confusing accounts are given of the origins of the Python name, although the members agree that its only "significance" was that they thought it sounded funny. In the 1998 documentary Live at Aspen during the US Comedy Arts Festival, where the troupe was awarded the AFI Star Award by the American Film Institute, the group implied that "Monty" was selected (Eric Idle's idea) as a gently mocking tribute to Field Marshal Lord Montgomery, a British general of World War II; requiring a "slippery-sounding" surname, they settled on "Python". On other occasions, Idle has claimed that the name "Monty" was that of a popular and rotund fellow who drank in his local pub; people would often walk in and ask the barman, "Has Monty been in yet?", forcing the name to become stuck in his mind. The name Monty Python was later described by the BBC as being "envisaged by the team as the perfect name for a sleazy entertainment agent".[24]

the fake christians of America prove why freedom of religion also means freedom from religion.
Would be nice if we had an actual opposition party to, you know, put in bills to oppose the massive abuse of power that's been going on for a while now. Instead we get frumpy faces, folded arms, an occasional angry letter, moral victories, and of course the "that'll show 'em" bills.
the term "moneyshot" gets a whole new meaning
I can't wait for it to pass
So, what you're saying is I can move to Ohio, open a sperm bank that charges $100 per deposit, and make a mint?

This week Im going to petition the Michigan government to build a yuge wall between us and Ohio. I don't want any more chronic masterbaters roaming our streets, they belong in Cleveland.
if they pass this law, people would go out jerking off everywhere in protest
I mean, what about people with vasectomy? Do we just get the death sentence?
There would be a national day of gooning.

That's a lot of overdraft fees. Just gonna make me masturbate even harder though.
Their bill has some exceptions, as it says men in Ohio will not be fined if they are using birth control, donating sperm, masturbating, or having sex with another man or member of the LGBTQ+ community. The bill is specifically aimed at men having straight sex without protection who do not then create a baby.

Doing some quick math, I have in my possession a 1.2 billion dollar RATM tshirt with Che’s eye stuck together for good.
The poor agents that will have to watch the recordings of proof of discharge in order to charge these men.

This is uh...quite biblical actually, as someone got executed for this. They should make it punishable by exexution while they are at it. Why be a theocratic distopia only half-way?
