Law banning male masturbation - House Bill 4260, called the “Man’s Right to Know Act,”

Snopes.com does not seem to have an answer just yet. Something closer to female ... er ... well have a look.

You just can't make it up - which is why I wonder if it is more Fake News.

That didn't happen to surface around/nearly two weeks ago, did it - round about 1 April?

It's obviously being proposed as a satirical riposte to men's imposition of legislation affecting women's rights. It won't get through, but is a sarcastic gesture.

Um, sorry, but I think it's real.

Snopes has an answer now, according to the OP link.

And Texas is assuredly real.

You know the saying,
There will always be an England?
I counter that with:

There will always be a Texas.

Oh, I'm sure it's real - but mostly with publicity in mind.

Since it was introduced in March, 2017 as a comment on the laws being considered about abortion, I kinda doubt it was viable or went anywhere.

There is also a preacher saying it's gay sex.

Yes it was real, but no one expected it to pass in this bright red state with the GOP dominating the house, senate, and governorship. It was meant as a response to all of the legislation white men are writing to control women's bodies.

As most of the Rocky Mountain states go up in historic wildfire this spring and summer, Texas may be saved by all the Texan masturbators.

Take that you whacky preachers.

I read that there was some posturing going on.

I think I get the context now.

Texas has over 28 million people. It has universities, industry and fine museums. Why do you equate one politician who has (I guess) submitted one bill with all that? i.e., with all of Texas?

Because we're a captive audience to the legislative insanity.

Acme, that's the kind of talk that vandals and abusers use. "I did it because I was so angry." Never mind that I did it to an innocent passer-by.
