    "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.”

    You read this part and didn’t get it?

          I guess Mississippi isn’t the first place I assumed would joke about banning masturbation 5 days into Trump Land.

              This would have been a great first reply. Spamming the same 2 paragraphs in quotes to everyone who didn’t fully understand the intent in the article makes you come off a bit like a jerk. I do appreciate the legit answer though.

                  Reading comprehension is a dumpster fire in here. Fucking hell, honestly it’s abysmal internet wide anymore.

                    Yeah my friends in teaching in the USA have been claiming that everyone educated post 2004 has varying degrees of significant failures in education. No Child Left Behind gutted many kid’s educations.

                  Obviously not, with the amount of people questioning you and not getting it. Also, Mississippi is probably one of the first places I’d think of if someone asked me “which states do you think would pass an anti-masturbation law”, so the satire has to be really obvious for people to get it, and it kind of isn’t here.

      The roll of a man during the pregnancy is irrelevant. Because a man can’t get pregnant.

      Also a man is not in charge of a pregnant woman’s body and therefore cannot make choices for her body.

      What this bill will do is allow for men to make medical decisions for women without their consent.
