(CNN)A Texas lawmaker has proposed a bill that would fine a man $100 each time he masturbates.
The bill also imposes a 24-hour waiting period if a guy wants a colonoscopy or a vasectomy, or if he's in the market for some Viagra.
Rep. Jessica Farrar, a Democrat, knows her bill isn't going to get very far. But she proposed it last week to make a point and give male lawmakers a taste of their own medicine.
Farrar has long been an advocate of women's health in a state that has made it extremely difficult for women to get abortions. And the bill, by pointing out a sexist double standard, is meant to shine a light on the obstacles women deal with when it comes to their health care.
"Let's look at what Texas has done to women," Farrar told CNN. "What if men had to undergo the same intrusive procedures?"
Even the name is a jab
Farrar's bill would penalize men for masturbation because such behavior is a failure to preserve the sanctity of life and "an act against an unborn child."
Even the bill's name -- "A Man's Right to Know Act" -- is a jab at a pamphlet Texas doctors are required to give women seeking abortions.
That pamphlet, "A Woman's Right to Know," has long been criticized for being inaccurate, ideologically influenced by religion and designed to discourage women from getting abortions.
One section of the pamphlet says breast cancer and abortions are linked. Scientific studies have found no cause-and-effect relationship between the two.
"We have real lives to deal with," said Farrar, who pointed out that Texas has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world.

I’ll go bankrupt in the in the first week!!
“One section of the pamphlet says breast cancer and abortions are linked. Scientific studies have found no cause-and-effect relationship between the two.”
Horse $hit! You can’t tell people with a straight face that ripping a baby from the womb has no effect on their heath.
Obviously a coordinated attempt on their part.
A bill like that has been a long time coming.
Given the relative scarcity, how about $10,000 for each ovulation? That may be a fairer comparison.
“This broad’s gotta be from Austin.”
She could be from anywhere, but she could only get elected in Austin.
Do you think average women REALLY understand what sort of damage these whacked-out Feminist loons inflict on women’s credibility?
More like paying off the national debt.
“Let’s have a $10,000 tax on vibrators. Then we could hear feminists whine about “masturbation parity.”
You could just add the price on washing machines.
“You couldn’t fill a Mini Cooper with men who WANT a colonoscopy. And I mean, real men.”
1. Unless it is a life and death emergency, or the police are looking for drugs, nobody gets in for a colonoscopy in less than a month.
2. Getting a colonoscopy does not sound pleasant, but the reality is that it only lasts about 3 seconds. That’s the time from when they inject you with joy juice and the time you wake up in the recovery area. You won’t remember them sticking it in there. Guys live 6 years less than women. One of the reasons is that we do not go to the doctor. 70% of health care dollars are spend on women, and that does not include childbirth. Men in general are seriously short changed in healthcare. I for one intend to make sure I get my share.
Supposed “lawmakers” like this should BY LAW, be forced to pay back ALL tax payer dollars that went into this “bill” - which was only intended to make a point.
You are not there to make a point; you’re there to make real law, uphold law, serve your conscztituents. Stop wasting THEIR money on YOUR pet projects.
That right there is funny. You win the internet for the day.
I wonder how the chumps will know it happens? Can you imagine a SWAT team showing up at a man’s door, to try to find out if he did the evil deed? Sounds like the old bunko squad. 😁
“I’ve had a colonoscopy to check for colon cancer.”
I’m going in next month for a 5 year checkup. I don’t get how these morons make a link between a colonoscopy and gay sex. Maybe there is some guilt or insecurity thing there. All I know is that having a colonoscopy appeals to me a whole lot more than does pooping out of a hole in the side of my abdomen.
I want to know about the enforcement provisions of this law. How would they know when this crime had occurred?
ROTFL!!!
Did someone tell these guys they would go blind? 😁
Stupid people. I wonder how they will control and tax all the spillage of teenage boys in their dreams?
This is the stuff of comedies. Remember in the “Legally Blonde” film that Reese Witherspoon used such an analogy in one of her classes at Harvard?
