This is a retarded waste of taxpayer time and money. If all she is going to do is propose shit bills and mock men, she isn't doing her job. Can her unfunny ass.

[–]genderbent 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link

It's more about pointing out how insane some of the anti-abortion bills have been in Texas lately, and it's actually pretty funny if you read it - pro-lifers have tried (and often succeeded) to push through similarly invasive and over-the-top legislation to make abortion more difficult. If I lived there, she'd have my vote.

[–]Mythandros 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link

You can point things like that out without resorting to sexism and mockery. No wonder your political system is as fucked up as it is... with people like this having the power to make law in your country I am surprised it hasn't fallen apart sooner. I would not vote for someone like this. She is there to do a job not make stupid, ineffectual jokes.

[–]genderbent 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link

Well, the mockery is of the existing bills, not of men, so I don't really see how this is sexist given the proper context. She is there to do a job, but part of that job is to bring the issues facing her constituents to a broader audience, and this bill does exactly that - she's gotten national coverage for an issue in her state.

[–]Mythandros 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

I see the bills she is proposing as mocking men. You may not and that's fine. She has got coverage for her state but the way she did it will make people mock her and not take her seriously. That could end up doing more harm to her cause, the opposite of what she is looking for. I certainly wouldn't take any legitimate bills she put forward seriously after these idiotic ones she is wasting time with.

[–]genderbent 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

Why do you think she's mocking men exactly? Basically everything that bill is asking for is a gender-swapped version of something from a real non-joking bill. She's doing pretty much the same thing we do when we switch genders in headlines to show how things are sexist. If you want to look at it from a purely men's rights perspective, draconian restrictions on abortion don't help men, they hurt them by taking options away, and she's fighting to keep those options open. She may not be doing it specifically with men's interests in mind, but it still benefits men.

[–]Mythandros 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Mocking someone or an entire group of someone's is never productive. The fact that these bills are put forward in a mocking way delegitimizes the point this person is trying to make. You want to protest an injustice? Fine.. I am with you, but doing so by mocking an entire gender causes the point you are making to be lost. And if you can't see how these bills are mocking men then you are obviously wilfully blinding yourself to their offensive nature.

The point is if you want to protest.. fine, but don't do it by mocking others. That makes whatever point you are making wrong. I would still can her unfunny ass.

[–]genderbent 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

I agree with your basic argument, that you don't change peoples' minds by insulting them, but what I don't see is how the bill she put forward is mocking men as a group. It's mocking restrictive pro-life legislation, but it doesn't appear to actually say anything negative about men as a group at all. She is saying negative things about the individual men who voted for the existing, incredibly draconian abortion legislation in Texas, but mocking politicians for their policies is totally fair game.

[–]Mythandros 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

If you can't see how these bills are offensive and insulting to men.. then I can't help you. I see a bill, even submitted in parody.. that controls a man's "emissions" as she put it.. to be disturbing, wrong and very not funny whether it's a joke or not. I just don't see how you could not draw the same conclusion.

[–]genderbent 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

It's Juvenalian satire! There's a long political tradition of jokingly suggesting policies that everyone agrees would be terrible in order to point out problems with the policies that exist today. The most famous example of this is probably Swift's "A Modest Proposal" which criticised British attitudes towards impoverished Irish people in the 18th century by suggesting that those poor people should sell their children to the rich as food.

It's supposed to come across as somewhat offensive and insulting, but the whole point is to demonstrate that what you're parodying is itself offensive and insulting. It's like gallows humour - it's funny because it's over-the-top awful. There's no doubt that she also agrees that the government controlling mens "emissions" would be disturbing, wrong and very not funny if it were serious. It's also disturbing, wrong and not very funny that women seeking an abortion in real life are subject to things as absurdly medically unnecessary and invasive as the things in this bill. Doing a gender swap just makes it easy to see, just like when we gender swap news articles to show sexist assumptions about men.

Farrar is currently serving her 11th term as state representative for District 148. She works on issues that include women's health, sexual assault, reproductive rights, discrimination, juvenile justice and domestic violence. 

Does she do any other non-feminist work or does she teach gender studies on the side too?

[–]genderbent 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

You could just look at what she's done on wikipedia. If you're left leaning, there's lots you'll like, if you're right leaning, there's lots you'll hate.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm so far left I sometimes see communists when I look to my right and there's not a lot to like there, since I am not a radical feminist. It seems she has been pushing that agenda her entire working life. Courtesy of the tax payer.

[–]azazelcrowley 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

  1. Waste of time/money

  2. Implies the abortion issue is about sex and the only reason women abort is because they want orgasms and want them enough to keep it legal. So the shit the theocrats were saying, retard feminists are agreeing, but doing it with a pompousness and arrogance that's long since been routine for them.

  3. Conception, not ejaculation.

  4. Guarantee you the "WIMMINZ" line of argument will only alienate people compared to a liberal and laissez fairez attitude to bodily autonomy.

I thought this was a joke, it seemed like an Onion article, but i can kinda see where shes coming from. I live in Houston and am pro-choice, so i get how shes trying to bring attention to how ridiculous the fetal disposal bill is. This may be her comparing apples to oranges, but at least it may bet people to pay attention.

[–]DougDante[S] 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

how ridiculous the fetal disposal bill is

If you see a 20 week old fetus with eyes and a brain as completely equivalent to semen.

That is, they're only 20 weeks assuming there are no uncaught Kermit Gosnells operating in Texas:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/01/25/story-serial-killer-kermit-gosnell-reveals-complicit-pro-abortion-rights-media/

[–]genderbent 3 points4 points5 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

well, the fetal disposal bill didn't have any limit on term, and i don't think a 1 day old blastocyst is really all that different than semen in terms of personhood. for that matter, the disposal bill also covered completely involuntary miscarriages. the 20 week thing is kind of a red herring anyways - 88% of abortions are within the first 12 weeks, and only 4% are beyond the 20 week point. the only reason for that bill was to make abortions more expensive for clinics to provide as a way of trying to price them out of business without directly violating roe vs wade; abortions in the home were exempted.

[–]omegaphallic 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

It was a joke, but one the underlines a serious point.

That being said while some of the stuff these guys have been doing is intrusive, as I understanding it the fetal remains bill is only supposed to make sure the remains are safely despised of as a biohazardous material.

[–]genderbent 4 points5 points6 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

The old fetal handling procedures were totally adequate from a public health standpoint, and the new rules don't apply to abortions or miscarriages in the home. It's really just about making it harder to run abortion clinics by increasing the costs.

[–]omegaphallic 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm honestly not an expert on fetal tissue disposal, so I will defer to you on this issue.

It really is about time we erect a wall between classical liberals and impotent progressivism.

[–]MagicTampon 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It should be more like it is for feminists, so that men get free kleenex to clean up after themselves.

[–]omegaphallic 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I have to admit to laughing at the bill, I absolutely get her point, get a sense of humour.

I especially laughed at requiring the rectal exam.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Yeah, I don't agree with the majority of these comments. I think this is a good idea to poke fun at the pro-life retards.

[–]omegaphallic 3 points4 points5 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Me too.

[–]rg57 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

So, basically it's "I need feminism because men masturbate."

And people wonder why we laugh at (not with) them.

Rather than advocate for their own issues, they just can't help themselves from going straight to man-hating.

[–]fghjgfhjghjhgf 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy.

Semen does not cause children. Men are not ejaculating children. Similarly, periods do not result in children. Women are not bleeding out children. Why are these people in power? What the fuck? My life was ruined by these fucks teaching people that short men are worthless, and they can't even use basic logic. Why are they in power? Because of their looks? Is this entire thing really about looks? Wow humanity, you're fucking shit. You deserve global warming. Monkeys aren't role models.

Are feminists just going to throw our entire culture away because they're not even smart enough to use basic logic? Are our lives really being thrown away by people who don't know the difference between pregnancy and masturbation? Do they realize women have periods and masturbate as well, or is this one of those "I'm teaching you a lesson" things that has no relation to the actual message?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

But every sperm is sacred!

[–]fghjgfhjghjhgf 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link

But that doesn't make sense. An abortion is a termination of a pregnancy. Women masturbate as well. Nothing about that is witty or clever or funny, but maybe you all just find it funny because of the mention of bodily fluid?

There is a funny joke somewhere in it but there is no joke here. The corollary would be women having periods and losing their eggs. Using abortion and masturbation just shows how basic and easily misled you all are, or at least how willing you are to agree with idiocy as long as you agree with the cause (i.e. the ends justify the means).

How fucking much lower is this culture going to go? Are we going to need help breathing next generation?

edit -- you all are the reason you're probably going to actually lose abortion rights. because you think you're "witty" but no one is fooled except for yourselves. you're lying and you think you're funny.

way to play yourselves liberals, but you don't really care. you lost all the positions of power last election and you don't care, because all you really care about is sex and listening to yourselves talk. god damn. basic fucking bitches.

if you won't even pretend to listen to the other side's argument, then you deserve everything that's coming. you're not funny or witty. you brought this on yourselves. mark it. come back in a decade.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

But that doesn't make sense.

I guess to someone who doesn't respect the sacredness of sperm, you wouldn't understand.
