All well and good except you can be listed as a sex offender for pissing in an alley now.

Facebook auto bans you if your listed as a Sexual Offender if they find out. So its super hard to start again if you've been wrongfully listed.

If you can't be trusted to use the Internet you should still be in jail. That excludes people who shouldn't be on the list.

Apparently according to that article the new law only applies to males. The male pronoun is used throughout to refer to offenders.

This is okay except for the fact that it's easy as fuck to make a mistake as a teen and become a sex offender.

May as well go all the way and print a line of "I am a registered sex offender" shirts. I'll start printing them and you guys can lobby congress to make them legally mandatory. I'll split the profits 50-50.

Heh, to protest they should get a bunch of guys in LA (a few hundred) to put on facebook that they are sex offenders when they aren't. If you got enough men to do it, the whole thing would become meaningless.

That will be struck down. You can't compel speech - except maybe in a courtroom.

One thing about these laws is they are brought up by people that are most likely to commit the crime.

While we are listing things that can make one a sex offender, consider these:

Many boys and girls as young as six to nine have been put on that list. Here is a source that, when you combine it with the number of sex offenders in the US at total, ends up with over 2000 girls age six to nine being sex offenders.

Having sex with an 21 year old girl who shows you an official state ID saying she is 21 who you met in a 21+ only bar will and you on the sex offender list if she ends up being 17 and you live in one of the states where age of consent is 18. Strict liability and all that.

In some states, you can be registered as a sex offender for having consensual sex with someone your own age, even when neither individual is under the influence. For example, where I live, it is illegal for two 15 year olds to consent to sex at all.

Once again, this is a law which affects mostly men. But there are two things that are glaringly wrong in this scenario. 1) Convicted sex offenders aren't always actual sex offenders. There are rampant fake accusations; there are often ridiculous criteria which can bring on an arrest and conviction (taking a piss outside behind a tree can get a man arrested for 'exposing himself' which registers him as a sex offender; having good 'game' and Casanovaing a woman into the sack may be considered 'sexual ceorcion' if she feels shame later; having sex with a woman who has been drinking even if she is completely coherent and consensual, is still considered rape by many because a woman who has been drinking can't actually 'consent' to sex, etc., etc.) 2) Even though all females don't report sexual assault or harassment, percentage wise they report these issues far and away more than men do. If men went to the cops and filed charges everytime women grabbed their butts or crotches, felt their abs, made crude remarks like "nice butt," or "ooh, he can service me anytime," or if female teachers were charged with RAPE everytime they RAPE their students, like male teachers are routinely charged, then we would see tons of women's mugshots splashed all over the internet and the news, and all these women would have to register as sex offenders and put it on their facebook pages. But for now, these sexual-crime charges are slanted harshly against men, and easily applied to men, and skews the stats of the number of charges and arrest of men. So along with the truly guilty men who now have to post their status on facebook, there are also a ton of innocent men heaped in there with them, while at the same time a bunch of guilty women are spared that scarlet letter. These new laws just aren't always as cut and dry as lawmakers would have you believe.
