The term "BDM" appears to have originated in New York City, being first used there by Italian-Americans in low-life street gangs and underworld criminal organizations. As a term of abuse it was intended to denigrate and emasculate the target of abuse, normally a male, and humiliate him in the presence of his peers. The expression was then picked up by travelling salesmen, pimps, and cheap divorce lawyers and made its way to the Deep South and the Midwest, where it became a tool of those bent on character assassination and petty harassment. In recent years there has arisen a secret cabal of antisocial individuals centered in the state of Ohio who have made a fetish out of the expression BDM. It is the nefarious activities of those particular individuals that are being addressed by the forthcoming legislation. It's time they were stopped.
