these sort of laws usually aim to repress women but this time they went so far as to target men almost exclusively. I wonder if they forgot what their goal was. or perhaps the simpler explanation is that these legislators lack braincells

Once again, Lemmy users prove completely unable to recognise satire.

The bill is an act of protest.
