Massachusetts is taking the fight against nasty words to the next level with a new state bill that would ban the use of the word bitch in certain contexts.

State Rep. Daniel Hunt (D–Boston) has put forward H. 3719 that would prohibit the use of the big, bad b-word when deployed to "to accost, annoy, degrade or demean" another person. Anyone who did so would be considered a "disorderly person" under state law.

Penalties could include fines of up to $200 or six months in jail. Hunt's bill specifies that either the person called a bitch or a witness to the bitch-calling could report the crime to the police.

Hasn’t the bitch heard of the first amendment?

[shelterguy]

Good thing I don’t live there. I would get the electric chair.

[cuban leaf]

We have two dogs. One is a male and the other is a bitch.

[knarf]

Well .... now we know what they call him.

[goldstategop]

Its unconstitutional. Then again, Democrat authoritarianism rears its head again.

[bert]

A legislator denouncing the First Amendment should be executed

[dsrtsage]

Then I will exclusively use the ‘C’ word. Seems to be fine in the UK. Daniel Hunt huh, does he have a brother named Mike?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Just try to enforce that one.

[real saxophonist]

Yeah, that bitch’s last name rhymes with something, too.

[glock rocks]

That pesky first amendment is a bitch.

[Vaquero]

Sheesh. What a c***

[EvilCapitalist]

Will that fine apply to the purveyors of rap music?
And the demographic that usually writes rap music?

[Zathras]

Did he change his name from “Mike Hunt”?

[TexasTransplant]

Bitch should get together with that other Bitch BETO and go door to door here in South Texas...

[Pearls Before Swine]

Birth? Plausible, but wrong.

I need to clean my glasses.

[setter]

“Will that fine apply to the purveyors of rap music?”

Of course not. Women will be allowed to use it as well.

Only white males will be fined. It’s the evil patriarchy after all.

Bitch Bitch Bitch

But what about my female puppy? Guess I’ll have to re-gender her.
